Overview: Broadcasting – TV Stocks
TV broadcasting companies distribute entertainment and news content and stocks in this category have yields below the wider market average. The market has traditionally been divided into public and private or commercial broadcasters.
TV broadcasting companies continue to produce hundreds of big-budget shows every year. These broadcasting companies employ a few hundred thousand people in the U.S. alone.
More than $70 billion in advertising revenue was reported in 2019 alone, and the television industry continues to grow despite the upheaval of the media landscape.
But trouble might be brewing for these stocks. Big brands like Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX), Amazon Prime Video and Fire TV Stick (NASDAQ: AMZN), Android TV & Google TV (NASDAG: GOOG), Roku (NASDAQ: ROKU) and Apple TV (NASDAQ: AAPL) invest billions into productions specifically for streaming services. These ad-free, subscription-based services lure viewers away from traditional television stations and subscription packages.
However, home devices are not the only TV interlopers, and the stock price of every trending broadcast stock is dependent both on its own content and the machinations of the industry at-large.

Features to Look for in Broadcasting – TV Stock
Check out these three things before you pull the trigger on any stocks you’re considering investing in:

- Fresh content: TV broadcasting stock value is directly dependent on the content the company produces. Everything from the storyline, set design and star cast can impact the value of the stock.
