Written By Lorenzo Chiodo

In this interview from CES 2024, OrkaTV Founder and CEO Mike Woods talks about “the three horsemen of the streaming apocalypse”, and why local TV and the future of streaming are a perfect match.

Mike Woods: We love local TV and streaming. I think that there is a perfect fit between what local TV does and where streaming is going, and it comes right out of that core capability of FAST to adjust what you show people in real time. I talk about the three horsemen of the streaming apocalypse: sports, news, and live events. They're the things that you have to watch live. Sports, news, and live events – What the local TV channels do fits straight into that package. It's compelling, you want to see it, you want to see it live, and that's where FAST and streaming TV really plays a huge role.
