Talk:School Spirits (2023 TV series)

Joeyconnick, can you please explain why this series should not be classified as streaming television?
please explain your reasoning.

As I said in my original edit, "This series was originally released on Paramount+, an online streaming service. Thus, this should be classified as a streaming television series." 2600:8802:1913:1F00:E84A:BA91:28C5:91BE (talk) 19:58, 10 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Because, especially in the last 5 to 10 years, there's no fundamental difference between television made for a streaming service and television made for traditional broadcast or cable networks—except how it (first) gets into the hands of viewers. It's even become more common that shows that originally were available via streaming are frequently rebroadcast via more traditional media and vice versa. So we call it a television series and then we describe how it was first delivered. —Joeyconnick (talk) 20:06, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
 * But using that logic, for example, would suggest that any old movie that was originally shot on traditional physical film and then released digitally in the future should be classified as a digital movie. But that is not the case. These movies are still classic cinema, shot on traditional physical film. The nature of the future distribution medium does not change the nature of the original content. Regardless of how the medium evolves over time, the main focus should be on how the work was originally distributed. In this case, School Spirits was originally distributed on the Paramount+ online streaming service, making it a streaming television series.
 * I hope I explained this well. 2600:8802:1913:1F00:E84A:BA91:28C5:91BE (talk) 20:32, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Completely ignore what I wrote above. Someone shared this discussion with me: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television/Archive 33. Just "television" is fine. 2600:8802:1913:1F00:A814:4DED:3F0A:8859 (talk) 20:54, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
