OTT video has come a long way, and one could argue that today we find ourselves in the midst of a great OTT migration that is transforming how viewers absorb video content, up to and including content produced by traditional broadcasters who recognize that agility is critical to their survival. As Machinima's James Glasscock notes in this excerpt from a panel on OTT migration at Streaming Media East 2016, "If you look at all the major cable network groups and their earnings announcements over the past year or so, they've all reported losses. They're asking, 'How do we get back to that audience, that cord-cutter, cord-never audience, or whatever it may be?'"
