The merger between Reliance and Disney's HotStar has sparked curiosity about the future of the platform. With RIL poised to take control, the fate of HotStar hangs in the balance - will it integrate with Jio Cinema or both emerge as a new brand altogether? Of particular concern is the potential monopoly on cricket rights in India, raising alarms among advertisers and agencies about possible spikes in ad rates. Both Reliance and Disney have made substantial investments in cricket rights, with commitments to keep ad rates reasonable. There are indications that both companies have made concessions, assuring not to unjustly increase advertising rates for streamed cricket matches. The timing of the regulatory approval, coinciding with Reliance's Annual General Meeting, adds an element of intrigue to the merger. Will consumers benefit from free IPL streaming on Jio Cinema, or will subscription rates remain regulated? With both companies wielding over $2 billion +++ in sports investments in India, the landscape of streaming and sports entertainment is set for a transformation. #Viacom18 #Reliance #Disney #Merger #HotStar #JioCinema #CricketRights #Streaming #Advertising #Monopoly #Investments #CCIApproval

Takeaways from IPL’24 (Part 2): Moving ahead from my previous post where I spoke on learning from the Mumbai Indians team, today I would like to discuss learning from the three teams that made it to the top 3 (after the eliminator) of the season. 1.      Rajasthan Royals: RR have a great captain coach duo of Samson and Sangakkara. One way that Samson differs from other captains is his absolute faith in his teammates. Supporting your teammates and appreciating their efforts is one of the best ways to get the most out of them. 2.      Sunrisers Hyderabad: SRH always had an excellent bowling line-up, but this time more than bowlers, the approach from the batsmen helped them win games. A right combination of teammates coupled with a focused strategy makes reaching the goals easy. 3.      Kolkata Knight Riders: Hardly will some disagree that Gambhir as head coach is the most important factor in KKR’s win. A good mentor will make your journey towards the goal seem like a cakewalk. #IPL'24

#Radio + #Audio are anticipated to be the most under-invested media in India. It is anticipated that their share of consumers' #timespent will be substantially greater than their proportion of #adspending. For #Print & #TV, the scenario is expected to be the opposite. The Indian market for #Digital media has equilibrium. Time spent compared to Media spend is in sync (healthy 50%+). However, given the relative "weakness" of digital media's advertisements, are we spending too much on digital channels? It is an interesting and important fact just because we can see an ad does not mean that we will see it. Ads that are marked as "viewable" aren't necessarily "viewed." Another interesting digital medium observations : - Ad Spend on Meta (#FB + #IG) is 25% vs time spend by Indians on Meta is (8-10% approx. time spent share, ~45 mins per day) - Ad spend on #YouTube is 7% vs time spend on YT by Indians is (8-10% approx. time spent share, ~45 mins per day) - Ad spend on #Netflix & Other #OTT apps is <1% vs time spend on OTT by Indians is (8-10% approx. time spent share, ~50 mins per day) This analysis reveals significant—and sometimes extreme—imbalances between where #marketers put their monies and where #consumers spend their #mediatime.
