WHAT DOES EVENT TELEVISION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Event television

Event television is a television network marketing concept which arose in the early 2010s and is characterized by a shift in priorites towards enticing audiences to watch programming immediately as it is broadcast. This is largely in response to the tendency of modern audiences to time shift programming or view using on-demand streaming services, which has produced a steady decline in live viewership ratings. Live episodes have long been a staple of television programming, but the shift towards event television has greatly accelerated development of new styles of programming and new methods of marketing in response to the growth of these new technologies. Networks are focusing on more live entertainment and investing into more sports programming which are less attractive to DVR users, but excite and engage live viewers. Scripted programs have adopted the strategy as well, by making more frequent use of sudden, unannounced plot twists or major character deaths. "It's important to keep your fans engaged", CBS entertainment president Nina Tassler said. "You keep eventizing your entire season.
