"The abundance of programming and commercial viability of smaller audiences is making it possible for storytelling from a much wider range of experiences to finally be available," says Amanda Lotz, a professor of media studies at the University of Michigan and author of Portals: A Treatise on Internet-Distributed Television. Jennifer Holt, UCSB "Realistically you're not going to have a consumer with more than two or three services per month,” says Rayburn. "In a lot of ways it's an extension of the narrowcasting that began in the 1980s, with cable," says Jennifer Holt, a media studies professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
