The Netflix phenomenon and it's impact on the audience behavior
Doležal, Aleš ; Štoll, Martin (advisor) ; Jirků, Jan (referee)
The text of this diploma thesis called "Video on Demand Phenomenon and the Czech Viewer" describes the current situation in the world of the VOD services. It characterizes all the main elements of VOD and related business and viewer behavior and lifestyle resulting from those characteristics. The work also attempts to briefly describe all the main VOD services on the Czech market with regard to their history, current state and deals they offer to the viewer. The bulk of this work is, however, focused on the survey conducted amongst 140 people aged 19 - 26 and presenting its results. The survey finds that majority of those people prefer binge-watching over linear TV, which leads to very uneven TV watching habits and changes in lifestyle. According to the survey, it also appears that paid VOD is currently almost as popular as cable and satellite TV, but majority of people still don't want to pay for more than one service, which means that more than three quarters of them use internet piracy to get access to the desired content.
