The advancing digitalization and media convergence demands TV broadcasting companies to adjust their content to various platforms and distribution channels. The internet, as convergent carrier medium, is increasingly taking on a central role for additional media. Classical linear TV is still important, but for some audiences it has been developing from a primary medium to a secondary medium. Owing to the growing melding of classical-linear TV contents with online offerings (e.g. video-on-demand platforms or Web–TV), a great dynamic can be seen which has triggered numerous discussions about the future of TV for some time now. This article will summarize the results of two different audience studies. Film and television shows are meanwhile distributed online via Video-on-Demand platforms such as Netflix or
Amazon Prime Video. The first audience study has dealt with the use of VoD-platforms in Germany investigating user rituals, user motivation to watch films and TV shows on these platforms, and the meaning of VoD in everyday life. Most of the participants in this study reported that they mainly watch TV drama series at Netflix or Amazon Prime. Therefore, the second audience study focused the online use of television drama series of individuals and couples elaborating the
phenomenon of binge watching. In relating the audience practice to the new structures of the television market the article will shed light on the future of television. (author's abstract)

Auf den Schlachtfeldern der Weltgeschichte hat die Musik viele Funktionen. Propaganda missbraucht sie, um gegen den Feind zu hetzen. Kampflieder sollen die Angst vertreiben und den Gegner schmähen. Soldaten singen und musizieren, um im Wahnsinn des Krieges Trost zu finden und Mensch zu bleiben. Als erster moderner Krieg ist der Erste Weltkrieg auch für die Funktionalisierung der Musik richtungsweisend. Während alte Traditionen wie das Soldatenlied noch wichtig sind, werden für die Propaganda neue Medien erprobt, z.B. die Schallplatte. Schlager aus Operetten und Revuen beginnen jene Funktionen zu übernehmen, die vorher Volkslieder hatten. Diese vielfältigen Rollen der Musik im Ersten Weltkrieg untersuchen die Beiträge dieses Bandes. Dabei beleuchten die Autoren das Thema aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln: Wie wurde in der Propaganda mit Musik gekämpft? Wie nutzten Soldaten im Feld die Musik, um zu überleben? Und schließlich: Wie wurde der Krieg in der Musik verarbeitet?
