In a September 2018 appearance, Brett Jenkins, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology & Digital Officer at Nexstar Media, discussed the uniqueness of over-the-top (OTT) television. Jenkins stated that OTT's distinctiveness lies not in its distribution path but in its delivery over IP, which enables nonlinear, on-demand, unicast, and bi-directional connectivity. He said that this method of delivery is "revolutionising the way consumers are interacting with content." Jenkins noted that some observers predict over-the-air, cable, and satellite delivery will disappear in favor of internet-based distribution, while others argue OTT is a temporary phenomenon that will fade. He offered his own prognostication that "eventually there will be equilibrium reached," with multiple forms of distribution continuing to coexist and traditional methods innovating to become more like OTT in what they can offer consumers.
