How many years ago would people have said YouTube / steaming services would replace radio and buying CDs / iPods

I've not bought a cd in about 10 years

I'd imagine there are less and less people who use TV that way now? When I was younger, sure, I would flick channels if there was nothing better on. I only had, at most, 5 channels to hop through. Now, however, I no longer do that. There are so many channels now, I don't even bother channel hoping. Either I know what is on and make a point of watching it (or recording it), or I miss it. Or, I just go on youtube and just start watching random videos. I'm sure many will also turn the Playstation or Xbox on, There are so many options out there to people, that just having some free to air sporting event on the BBC is unlikely to attract the same volume of people that it might have done 20-30 years ago.

This in spades. Most kids won’t even turn on a TV. They will watch on a phone/tablet/laptop, whichever is closest at the time.

We’ve 3 TVs. Only one has an aerial plugged in. They only one who watches any terrestrial TV is the wife. And that is only a couple of times a week.

I can’t remember the last time I sat down to watch something on terrestrial tv at a specific time other than an England game.

I listen to Google podcasts in the car or Amazon music if I'm out of podcasts

Again I can't even remember when I last bought a cd

I threw my CDs away when I moved in 2014

we will find out anyway youtube shows the viewer numbers i'd be shocked if it hits over 50k

Even what I watch on "normal" TV is via iPlayer or more 4

Except live sport

 

[Springveldt]

they do but most people will still find it easier to tune in via traditional means

i'm sure if its successful they'll get a tv deal would be great if it was still free to air

YouTube is the "traditional means" to the younger generation though. My 16 year old daughter wouldn't even know how to work terrestrial TV (and I've not had SKY in for about 5 years now either). She would be shocked if she had to remember channel numbers, she can't even remember her own phone number.

I WFH and I've got YouTube running in the background for a good part of the day most days. Well either that or golf podcasts.

50k? really?

I think it'll do that on day 1! Globally there has got to be more than 50k people who are intrigued enough to watch a few holes or to see how the start works etc!

 

[PJ87]

I'd be shocked if it's under 200k

I think you'll be surprised tbf.

I don't even buy video game disks anymore. Purposely got the digital only version of the PS5. Last Blu-ray I bought was probably 12 years ago and I honestly can't remember the last CD I bought.

Only time I've used terrestrial TV in the last 5 years was to tune into Boris lying to all of us about lockdowns and how we were all in it together while he was getting pished every weekend.

There is a live youtube test run on the Liv Golf channel. It currently has 13 viewers

Ozzie at work, his kids have never watched normal TV. He said it's great no adverts for him so never ask for the latest toy

He says Netflix , YouTube kids and iPlayer

!!! Go NIBLICKS !!!
I've been a massive fan of them ever since they were formed (about 20 minutes ago).

 

[Depreston]

That would be a good number i reckon i'll deffo keep an eye on it mind i could be well off on this.

i still think it would get more eyes on tv though

When I got my gaming laptop It had no cd drive I was panicking then remembered I don't own a single cd or even dvds now .. I spent a long week copying all my dvds to a data stick then gave them to charity

 

[Deleted member 29109]

He's right though

i'm sure there'll be thousands of viewers on youtube but it will be substantially less than if it was on terrestrial tele

I doubt that. They only have to stream to one service and the entire world can watch. Put it on TV and you limit the audience.

Add to that people who can now have it on at work, drop in whilst they are out and about etc and it is a far easier method of watching.
