Local broadcasters are launching their own branded OTT apps to stay ahead of the curve as cable TV subscriptions fall and streaming subscriptions rise. According to Parks Associates, 36% of U.S. broadband households have at least one streaming media player, up from 27% last year. In late 2015, Apple launched the App Store on Apple TV so that media providers can participate in this industry shift, with Apple CEO Tim Cook stating their view of the future loud and clear: "We believe the future of TV is apps."
