The Television Station industry is in the mature phase of its life cycle and luckily for the industry, the advent of digital media has provided an opportunity for the industry to experience vibrant growth and is becoming more concentrated, as seen by a few large global firms dominating the market and gaining a huge market share of the available market.

A recent report published by IBISWorld shows that over the five years to 2017, the Television Broadcasting industry struggled somewhat to attract viewers and generate advertising revenue, though industry revenue has increased. As consumers quickly adopted mobile devices, thereby increasing their ability to subscribe to online streaming platforms, advertisers lowered their spending on broadcast television and increased their efforts on digital and online media.

Over the five years to 2022, television broadcasters will respond to a shifting media environment by restructuring their business models to better integrate programming with digital platforms such as live streaming on Social Media Platforms.
TV stations cannot be phased out despite the change in visual technology approaches and the emergence of new media (YouTube, Facebook etc.). It is easier for television stations to leverage on modern technology to reach out to their target market.
