The future of free-to-view television broadcasting is facing a conundrum. The traditional model, which once seemed like a win-win for all parties involved, is now showing signs of strain. The crux of the issue lies in the complex chain of relationships between advertisers, broadcasters, content owners, and audiences. As explained in this interesting analogy, it is like a group of friends sharing a pizza, but the person who paid for it only gets one out of the ten slices. This reflects the current state of affairs in the broadcasting industry.

So you say you don't listen to radio anymore? Your friends are! * "AM/FM takes an even larger piece of the ad-supported audio time pie with 69%, an increase of a few points on the latest edition of Edison and Nielsen’s “The Record.” Radio rules with all major demographics, including younger audiences. Despite growing podcast shares, radio remains the top choice for audiences aged 25-54 and 18-49. With an 86% share of in-car ad-supported audio time, radio remains the go-to choice for drivers. Even among 18-34s, AM/FM captures an 82% share." More info: https://lnkd.in/eqnVUwTA #marketing #advertising #radio #digital

A great panel and topic tomorrow! How can News organizations, networks and local stations groups create more content, more efficiently, and with better quality? 1- Virtual #extendedreality and #augmentedreality environments on LED studios are at the forefront of the technology adoption that is making immersive experiences the gateway for a new storytelling reality. 2- How the news and local content is going to be produced to engage younger audiences in the near future is beyond today's physical and green screen studios and way closer to a gamified LED XR immersive content experience without creative boundaries.

Very good insight! I agree, the landscape is shifting. Adapt or die. As a TV and movie production company we can align with the streaming platforms, and with half a dozen companies reach HALF of the entire world's population. By doing so we can also control our own destiny and costs. That is alluring. The media distribution marketplace will dramatically change in the next 36 months. Is there a place for cinema, theatres, streaming, and other alternative delivery methods to co-exist? Time will tell, we all adapt, we all evolve, that is the nature of business. Here is a prelude of things to come...

TV and video platforms thrive on content and channels. Historically, carriage agreements for cable and satellite operators involved substantial licensing deals worth millions, with technical delivery fees being a minor part of the deal. Today, however, streaming TV and broadcast media face a stark contrast: ad-funded monetization now consists of 90% technology fees and only 10% revenue for content sources. So, what went wrong? https://lnkd.in/ermaN9BC

"Cable TV-style streaming bundling" Comcast, the No. 2 (and once No. 1) cable TV in the U.S., has turned to streaming as a way out of the crisis. You're offering a discounted streaming bundle to Xumo internet subscribers (TV). Comcast CEO Brian Roberts said at an event that internet subscribers can now get discounts on core streaming, including "Peacock, AppleTV+, and Netflix. Comcast called this product "Streamsaver". But now that the viewing trend has shifted to streaming, the product could be a "cable saver." Of course, bundles are also important for streaming providers, who can only compete with Netflix if they band together. The timing of the service is also exquisite. At the end of July, when Peacock will be broadcasting the Paris Olympics, Stream Saver will also be launching. #Comcast, #streaming #netflix #peacock #cable TV #directmedialab https://lnkd.in/dggG68HX
