In the era of streaming, broadcasters of ota networks are keeping up viewership by rolling out new channels with memorable and great content similar to what’s offered by streaming services. I’ve seen first hand how switching to a streaming device such as Roku can be confusing for someone who is use to having everything in one place with cable and satellite tv.
