Is there any doubt that the way we watch television is changing dramatically? In the past few years, it’s pretty clear that the way we consume TV entertainment is much different. To start, the incredible increase in online viewing has those in the TV business asking, what is going to happen to the way we do business?

Selling expensive commercial time to big business was the old way of doing things, but new ideas are bringing small businesses into the TV advertising fold. Imagine being able to click on Ringcentral reviews in a menu during a business show downloaded from one of the cable networks. Or even being able to purchase a small ad on a webpage where one might download the latest episode of their favorite software review show. TV executives must consider these things as they confront the new advertising age.

Being able to get Ringcentral reviews at the click of your television remote is just one of the may ways that consumers can win in the new TV environment. Content on-demand is ultimately what consumers are clamoring for in the new world of television. The use of DVRs and Tivos increase year-by-year, in addition to services that allow for the instant downloading of shows. It’s clear that the day is near when video stores are quite rare, since most will download their movies instead of driving to rent them.

It seems that interactive viewing is the true future of television entertainment. It’s pretty clear that many TV executives didn’t think the day would be here so soon, but with 72% of viewers (according to a recent Harris poll) currently using their remotes to search for programs, download on-demand programming, and setting DVRs to record, time is of the essence to capitalize on these new habits. For consumers, the future looks bright for wide and expansive entertainment options. With a greater number of options, the more specialized and targeted the entertainment can be – not to mention the advertising!
