Super apps like ITV's ITVX are the next step for broadcasters shifting from linear to a digital-native model, creating a digital destination to take on the global streaming giants. They address six key issues for broadcasters: 💰 Direct revenue control: Super-apps enable content owners to monetise their offerings directly, without relying on third-party platforms or aggregators. 👥 Meeting audience needs: As viewers shift towards streaming apps, content owners must meet their audience's needs by providing a competitive streaming offering. 🌐 Using existing content rights: Super-apps allow content owners to exploit their owned content on their own platforms, whether through premium VOD tiers or longer-tail catalogue on FAST channels. ▶️ Extending existing media brands: Broadcasters are focusing on building simplified, direct-to-consumer streaming brands to compete with global streaming giants, pivoting from legacy TV-first brands. 📍 Creating a streaming destination: By offering high-budget, heavily-promoted tentpole content, super-apps aim to create a streaming destination that retains viewers within the app for an optimal user experience. ⚙️ Simplifying technology: While initially expensive and complex to develop, super-apps offer a streamlined solution in the longer run with a single streaming UI and backend supporting ad tech, subscriptions, VOD, and live content in one integrated stack.
