Perhaps television viewing will be coming back full circle. Streaming giant Disney+ reportedly plans to start sectioning their content into brand-new channels -- not unlike traditional cable.
According to an article from The Information, Disney+ users will soon get the option to stream various content in the form of channels. Disney is the go-to place to watch various franchises such as Marvel, Pixar, or Star Wars, and the introduction of channels will group similar content together and be readily streamed 24/7. Essentially, it will be just like regular cable TV channels, but with only Disney-owned properties.
The introduction of "channels" into the streaming landscape isn't new, as various services such as Peacock and Shudder have been doing so for quite some time now. The step forward (or rather, backwards) to a more traditional TV model is expected to be well-received by both audiences and the industry, something that doesn't usually happen often. With the ever-expanding streaming world, sitting down to watch something has grown far more complex; with a million services, shows, and movies at viewers' fingertips, it can be overwhelming to figure out what to put on. Channels will likely alleviate this issue.
