  • The Delta Perspective
    Insights on OTT video in emerging markets Michelle Gwee - Senior Business Analyst Vincent Stevens - Senior Principal June 2017 THE DELTA PERSPECTIVE THE DELTA THE DELTA PERSPECTIVE Insights on OTT video in emerging markets Authors: Michelle Gwee - Senior Business Analyst Vincent Stevens - Senior Principal (Credits to Lin Zheng for content inputs) Recognising the huge potential of OTT video in emerging markets, various players have made their forays in recent years – most notably with Netflix’s 2016 entry into markets such as India, Indonesia and Malaysia. While there are no clear signs of a winner yet, we have compiled the top four insights that traditional TV players, OTT players and telcos must bear in mind when catering to emerging markets. 2 THE DELTA PERSPECTIVE Insight 1: TV screen to remain dominant with mobile as a secondary screen Although the prevalence of apps and smartphones has exploded in recent years, consumers are holding on to their time spent with a TV screen – even in developed markets (See Exhibit 1). Time spent on mobile devices is observed to be accretive and often a secondary screen while watching TV (sometimes passively). Large screens like TV remain important for watching long-form video, while small screens (smartphones) are used to access short-form content. Unlike the rapid disruption of the internet on newspapers/print media, traditional TV appears more resilient to its (smartphone) OTT alternative. Main reasons are: 1. Restrictive mobile data pricing for long-form streaming 2. TV as a family entertainment medium in regions with large household sizes 3. TV penetration exceeding smartphone penetration 4.

  • “Over-The-Top” Television: Circuits of Media Distribution Since the Internet
    BEYOND “OVER-THE-TOP” TELEVISION: CIRCUITS OF MEDIA DISTRIBUTION SINCE THE INTERNET Ian Murphy A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Communication. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Richard Cante Michael Palm Victoria Ekstrand Jennifer Holt Daniel Kreiss Alice Marwick Neal Thomas © 2018 Ian Murphy ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Ian Murphy: Beyond “Over-the-Top” Television: Circuits of Media Distribution Since the Internet (Under the direction of Richard Cante and Michael Palm) My dissertation analyzes the evolution of contemporary, cross-platform and international circuits of media distribution. A circuit of media distribution refers to both the circulation of media content as well as the underlying ecosystem that facilitates that circulation. In particular, I focus on the development of services for streaming television over the internet. I examine the circulation paths that either opened up or were foreclosed by companies that have been pivotal in shaping streaming economies: Aereo, Netflix, Twitter, Google, and Amazon. I identify the power brokers of contemporary media distribution, ranging from sectors of legacy television— for instance, broadcast networks, cable companies, and production studios—to a variety of new media and technology industries, including social media, e-commerce, internet search, and artificial intelligence. In addition, I analyze the ways in which these power brokers are reconfiguring content access. I highlight a series of technological, financial, geographic, and regulatory factors that authorize or facilitate access, in order to better understand how contemporary circuits of media distribution are constituted.

    Press Contact: Tim Etheridge, Director of Public Relations 510 647-2917; [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BERKELEY REPERTORY THEATRE’S ARTISTIC DIRECTOR JOHANNA PFAELZER ANNOUNCES NEW COMMISSIONS FOR 2021 Commissions granted to Rafael Casal, Daveed Diggs, Dipika Guha, Sarah Ruhl, and Jack Thorne and Nico Muhly June 17, 2021 - Berkeley Repertory Theatre’s Artistic Director Johanna Pfaelzer today announced her first set of commissions since joining the company in 2019. This dynamic group of artists’ previous works encompass a wide range of genres, forms, and subject matter. The commissioned artists will be supported from inception to world premiere productions at Berkeley Rep over the next few seasons. “I am so proud and grateful to be able to make commitments to this group of artists in this particular moment,” says Pfaelzer. “Very early on in the pandemic, our Managing Director Susie Medak and I talked about these commissions as a commitment to our artistic community that Berkeley Rep would weather this storm, and a promise to ourselves and our audiences that there would be rich, complicated, beautifully theatrical stories to explore together on the other side. Sarah, Dipika, Rafael, Daveed, Nico, and Jack are each such extraordinary storytellers — the ability to support them in crafting new narratives, and anticipating the moment that we can gather together in a theatre in the presence of their imaginations is a source of inspiration for me in these profoundly challenging times.” Several of playwrights chosen have a strong connection to Berkeley Rep, including the writers/producers and stars of Blindspotting, Tony Award winner Daveed Diggs and writer/actor Rafael Casal, both of whom are from the Bay Area and participated in teen programs at The Theatre.
