dc.description.abstract | Since the fourth channels were legalized in Taiwan through the Cable Television Act in 1993, various cable channels were transmitted via satellite. With the advances in the transmission technology, the quality of cable television viewing greatly improved and the number of viewers also grew rapidly. After the popularity of cable television, the large number of channels attracted many advertisers, the advertising volume increased, and the advertising revenue increased year by year. Consequently, the local advertising agencies rose and developed, and their performance grew with remarkable annual turnover.

Driven by the rapid spread and high popularity of the Internet, the web-based streaming video/audio servers rapidly emerged. The diversified, lively and interesting content and the development trend of such video/audio servers changed the Taiwanese people’s traditional habits of watching cable television, resulting in the continued decline in the number of subscribers and the popularity of cable television.
