In today’s world, there is a growing number of multimedia platforms and content channels as everyone seems to be fixated on keeping up with information and knowing what is happening in real time. Broadcasting is very critical and the use of elements such as text, graphics, animations, music videos and others in broadcasting have become more widespread, serving as a very good way to communicate for easy understanding.
However, industry connoisseurs in recent times have engaged in an unending debate on the future of broadcasting. From these conversations, it has become obvious that broadcast television in not going away soon and probably it never will. Instead, it is likely to rise from 10percent of households 10 years ago to 25percent in 10 years from now, particularly as it gets modernized through smartphone applications that allow easy access to antenna television on smartphones, tablets and laptops.
More than ever, content is described as king by experts and industry professionals in the world of television. Television audiences are becoming spoilt for options and now demanding for fresh content; something they haven’t seen before. They want relevant and unique content which will entertain and keep them rather than something boring which is more likely to get them to lose their interest.
I guess a lot of people who got glued to their television sets every Sunday evening to watch what has become the biggest show on Ghanaian television in recent times, Date Rush, had no idea the company that produces it. For them, it must all be about how they get captivated by the show. Same can be said about other popular and exciting shows on television such as Ghana’s Most Beautiful, Music Music, Talented Kidz, Mentor, Ghana’s Strongest, The Day Show, Ladies Circle, Showbiz 360 and several others.
