NEW YORK: What will watching TV be like in the 2020s? Amid new gadgets and glitz, the CES tech show in Las Vegas aims to offer some answers, many of which boil down to more streaming and more efforts to glue you to your phone.
The show's keynote addresses, once dominated by computer and chip makers, will this year feature executives from US TV networks NBC and CBS and upstart video services like mobile-focused Quibi and free streamer Tubi. Topic one will be the streaming wars – not to mention mounting costs for consumers who want access to everything – as giants NBC Universal and WarnerMedia prepare to join the clash with Netflix later this year.
