Five years ago, the TV industry rose to the challenge of staying on air as the pandemic dawned. Insiders look back on Variety's 'Strictly Business.'

The article from Variety discusses how the television industry has been fundamentally transformed by the COVID-19 pandemic. It highlights several key changes: the adoption of remote work and virtual production techniques, which have become standard practices; the acceleration of streaming services' dominance as traditional broadcast models faced disruptions; increased focus on health and safety protocols on set, leading to innovations like virtual auditions and remote rehearsals; and a shift in content creation towards more intimate, home-based settings or stories reflecting the global health crisis. Additionally, the piece notes the financial strain on productions due to shutdowns, leading to budget reallocations and a rethinking of production schedules. The overall narrative suggests that while the industry has adapted, these changes have introduced new norms that are likely to persist, reshaping the landscape of TV production for the foreseeable future.
