CNews Launches Online TV Channel

And in this case, the problem is not the content - CNews have never been uninteresting, their news is always worthy of attention. The problem is that consumers of online broadcasting will make up a very small part of the audience. Indeed, not everyone has broadband access to the Internet, and for a comfortable viewing, this TV channel even in average (i.e., worst) quality requires a bandwidth of 400 Kb / s, this corresponds to a connection at a speed of more than three megabits. The resolution of the picture will be 468x263 pixels.
So this step is more of an advertising move, rather than a major innovation. In practice, an online TV channel is unlikely to become popular in the next few years.
