As of today, seven Discovery channels are scheduled to go dark on 30 June, with the newly acquired four-channel Scripps bouquet headed into the abyss at the end of August. Discovery says it has already been for- mally notified by StarHub that its channels are not being renewed. In a response this morning, StarHub didn’t mention any formal notice, saying only that “we are in renewal negotia- tions... and we are doing everything pos- sible to arrive at a deal which would allow Discovery and StarHub to continue our partnership while offering our customers the same content at a reasonable price”. StarHub isn’t coming into this public fight with no firepower, saying it is acquiring fresh content to replace Discovery “in the event that negotiations prove unsuc- cessful”. Several new channels are in the works “to ensure our customers will continue to enjoy access to a good range of educa- tion and lifestyle channels,” StarHub says.

The research methods included documentary analyses and interviews with mass media scholars, TV station executives, and advertising agency representatives. Most of the popular TV programs at present are copyright shows purchased from overseas, in the forms of purchases of the copyrights of finished programs as well as the copyrights of format programs; most of which were game shows, reality shows, and drama series. The characteristics of the international trade of the TV programs in Thailand included (1) trade of TV programs in the content market, (2) exchanges of TV programs between Thai and international TV stations for broadcasting, and (3) international co-productions of TV programs. Three factors that influenced TV stations in Thailand to purchase foreign TV programs were (1) changes in technology, (2) changes in consumer behavior, and (3) business survival. Therefore, the international trade of TV programs is another solution for TV stations and TV program producers in Thailand to reduce production costs, increase revenues, and expand the audience base worldwide.

  • Introduction
    Introduction In late 2013, the NBTC (the nation’s merged broadcasting and telecoms regulator) managed Thailand's first spectrum auction of 24 commercial digital terrestrial TV licences. This heralds a new era in converged digital media. As with telecommunications, broadcasting uses spectrum, a scarce national resource. Digital broadcasting has far greater spectral efficiency (Mbps for each MHz of bandwidth) than does the analogue use of spectrum, allows for much better picture quality and also supports a range of other value-adding features and functionality. Digital television (DTV) is the transmission of audio and video by a digitally processed and multiplexed signal. The DVB T-2 standard is adopted in Thailand for terrestrial broadcasting (along with all other ASEAN nations other than the Philippines). Broadly however, digital TV in various forms uses a variety of network types. As with most countries, Thailand has started digital broadcasting well ahead of the end of analogue transmission (Analogue Switch Off date or ASO), which will take some time. The forces of convergence between telecoms (especially mobile) and broadcasting are playing out now and the outcomes are fascinating. The industry has spawned take up in technology and services, with a range of value-adding, innovative platforms and applications which push traditional boundaries at a very fast rate. We hope this half day conference will provide a better understanding of the industry, showing how European and other foreign and local firms can participate (eg through technology platforms, and content) and how Thai content and knowhow could be exported, and to consider some policy aspects. This booklet contains the programme, speaker bios and a short version of a background paper (The long version is a PDF file which will be available at the EABC website, along with presentations, some time after the conference).
