What does the next generation of TV viewing experiences look like?
By Kjetil Horneland, CEO Sixty

The digital industry is all about the attention economy and personalised experiences, where the end user is empowered to communicate with others taking part in the experience. Video content is being consumed on whatever device is available for the end user, and more and more content is tailor made for smaller screens. The broadcast industry on the other hand, is still producing it’s content as if most users consume it the way it has been done the last 30 years - It’s mostly optimised for the big screen, it’s a “one to everyone” communication with little or no possibility to personalise the live experience.

How should the TV experience be, in a future where the user want to consume TV on any device, and want to choose themselves if they want to lean back or engage with the broadcast?
