Describe How TV Industries Need to Find Online Audiences in Order to Compete

HBO To Consider Expanding HBO GO Beyond Cable Subscribers

These days, we all have such busy lives that we can't schedule our lives around what time the new episode of  our favourite programme is on. Sometimes our train will be delayed, and we'll miss the first 25 minutes. If only there were something online that we could use to watch this programme whenever we had free time. This demand for any time access means that there is a sudden wave of online streaming websites cropping up. TV alone just doesn't cut it anymore. To find the target audience this day, online access is the way forward. People will watch their show on their phone during their daily commute, whereas they can't bring their TV on the tube with them.
By creating an online only feature that allows audience members to find their content legally, they are minimising the amount of people that otherwise go to hosting sites or streaming sites such as Primewire.ru
So although they may lose money on their cable network, they make this money back by keeping audience members within their company instead of elsewhere. 

Case Study- Sherlock

after a quick google search of the word "Sherlock" we are instantly provided with around 22,000,000 results, the first of which takes us straight to Sherlock page on the BBC One website.

The page looks typical of any tv promo page, boasting galleries of images, preview clips, biographies and latest news. What's special about this page, is the link in the middle of the page, directing us to the 'Interactive Trailer'

By following this link, we are redirected to a new window, from which we can watch this trailer.

Initially it plays just like any other trailer, and shows us snippets of what we can expect to see in the new series.
