[LINK] App order on smart televisions

[Ivan Trundle]

It’s free-to-air (FTA) companies looking for relevance in an age of diminishing interest by consumers. I don’t know many people under the age of 40 who bother to use FTA at all. Many simply don’t have aerials, either.

Sure, pushing FTA via the internet or via smart TV apps is one way around it, but consumers are spoiled for choice these days, and FTA is at the tail end of the wave.
