[...] Over at NewTeeVee (a favorite blog of ours), Om Malik questions the logic of streaming live TV over the Internet. Echoing comments made by Business 2.0’s Erick Schonfeld, in reference to LiveStation, Malik writes: In this age of hyper personalization, where DVRs are at our command, ready to playback the latest escapades of Vinnie Chase & the Boys, who needs live TV. Unless it is live sports extravaganzas, say NBA finals or SuperBowl (or Wimbeldon Tennis), television is no longer what appears on the TV Guide grid or on the hour. [...]

I think there will always be a need for Live TV. It isn’t going anywhere. There’s nothing like watching history as it happens. I’ve had times in which I’ve been at my computer, and a boxing match or something would be on, but I’d have no TV around me. All I have to do is log onto TVFreeOnYourPC.com and it’s all right there!

Read my lips: Live TV isn’t going ANYWHERE!

For sports and news coverage, there will always be a demand for live transmission of content. As for hardware, if the ability to handle live content were piggy-backed upon a good digital video delivery device (for instance, a future version of the Apple TV), then all the other boxes could be cleared off the shelf (DVD players, digital cable or satellite, and DVRs)

My opinion: There is room for both – and media must be expected to deliver both to its viewer base.

There’s also a “democratization of tools” aspect to this debate:

Live has been reserved for the professional users – even online – whereas On demand has been easier for users to get on board with because YouTube provided simple and free tools to do this. However, this does not mean that development has to stop there?

Adding to that, even broadcasters do not quite know what to do with live TV on the net yet as “professional” (I don’t like the word!) Internet TV for events are usually available elsewhere (like on your normal TV) and will therefore not attract audiences in particular not when geo-locks etc are in place (as an example: I live in London but I am from Norway originally – but due to geo locks on the public broadcast service in Norway I can’t watch any programs from Norway. Ok, so I am one person. But how many more people like me are out there?)

UGC based Internet TV has also not had a chance to flourish yet because the tools have not been there to do it. But now there’s several new tools and sites popping up around this which gives users these tools. I can mention justin.tv, stickam.com and of course our own service Selfcast (yes, I do work for the company that developed it) which was covered by ReutersTV – watch it on demand (isn’t it ironic? :-) ) here:

In conclusion:
I do think there will be room for both live and on demand in the future of TV, and we do not yet know how people will use live TV online.
