Who wants to continue paying for channels they don’t care
to watch, much less bare through the commercials? Nobody!
In early 2017, CBS Corp. will be publishing “Dubbed Unplugged”. A web TV service produced by Google, offering
a “skinny” bundle of live TV channels with a small monthly price range from
$25-$40, depending upon the desired amount of channels. Its bundling of TV channels consists of a
portion of You Tube Red (an ad free subscription), channels owned by
NBCUniversal and Walt Disney CO., CBS sports network, Fox sports, national
geographic, ABC, and ESPN. Google creators
of Dubbed Unplugged face the unavoidable battle of competition. A few network companies have produced similar
web TV services such as Dubbed Unplugged, Allowing Google the chance to perform
comparative advantages. Customers of web
TV services are unable to express specific channels of desire to companies, though
they can prove who’s making desirable selections by their purchase of cable
network. CBS Corp. plans to enjoy its commission
of $2, per subscriber, from Google, after nationally publishing Dubbed Unplugged. It is currently in the making and strongly
hopes to dominate all of today’s available web TV services.
This
article was highly of interest to me in the fact that I enjoy watching TV but
hate commercials. Let’s face it, super
bowl commercials are the only exception.
Today has made for an expansive variety of TV service providers, and we
as the customers, are never really one hundred percent sure of which to
purchase. Keeping updated with the
latest production, performing research, and reading reviews are about the only
things we can do.
This
article is applicable to our course material in many ways than one. It covers innovation, decision making with marketing
information, and the scientific method exercised when performing research for
keeping one’s self updated with innovation.
This general idea, as well as the concepts used in this article may also
be applied in your everyday life. One
must always convey research to perform proper preparation, which prevents poor
performance. Inventions remain constant,
as should society’s research and awareness.

I feel like Facebook is grasping for straws, but it’s obviously to early to actually know if this venture will be a success for Facebook. I hope it will be a success for Facebook but realistically they are competing with highly developed competitors such as Netflix and Hulu.
