  • Article Title
    International In-house Counsel Journal Vol. 11, No. 41, Autumn 2017, 1 The Future is Cordless: How the Cordless Future will Impact Traditional Television SABRINA JO LEWIS Director of Business Affairs, Paramount Television, USA Introduction A cord-cutter is a person who cancels a paid television subscription or landline phone connection for an alternative Internet-based or wireless service. Cord-cutting is the result of competitive new media platforms such as Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, iTunes and YouTube. As new media platforms continue to expand and dominate the industry, more consumers are prepared to cut cords to save money. Online television platforms offer consumers customized content with no annual contract for a fraction of the price. As a result, since 2012, nearly 8 million United States households have cut cords, according to Wall Street research firm MoffettNathanson.1 One out of seven Americans has cut the cord.2 Nielsen started counting internet-based cable-like service subscribers at the start of 2017 and their data shows that such services have at least 1.3 million customers and are still growing.3 The three most popular subscription video-on-demand (“SVOD”) providers are Netflix, Amazon Prime and HULU Plus. According to Entertainment Merchants Association’s annual industry report, 72% of households with broadband subscribe to an SVOD service.4 During a recent interview on CNBC, Corey Barrett, a senior media analyst at M Science, explained that Hulu, not Netflix, appears to be driving the recent increase in cord-cutting, meaning cord-cutting was most pronounced among Hulu subscribers.5 Some consumers may decide not to cut cords because of sports programming or the inability to watch live programing on new media platforms.

  • The Streaming Television Industry: Mature Or Still Growing?
    The Streaming Television Industry: Mature or Still Growing? Johannes H. Snyman Metropolitan State University of Denver Debora J. Gilliard Metropolitan State University of Denver This paper is about the streaming television industry. It begins by defining the industry and provides a brief history of the television industry in general, from the first transatlantic television signal in 1928 to 2018. From that point, it emphasizes the streaming television industry, which started in 2007, when Netflix first streamed movies over the internet. The main section of the paper focuses on Michael Porter’s theory of the industry life cycle to determine the current stage of the industry. The research question is developed, proposing that the industry is in the growth phase. Then, the number of paid subscribers of the top streaming providers in 2018 is used to address the research question. The results indicate that the industry is in the growth phase. The final section provides an outlook for the industry’s future. Keywords: Streaming TV Industry, OTT TV, Growth Industry INTRODUCTION The television industry is rapidly changing, moving toward “over-the-top”, or streaming, television. Cord cutting is occurring as millennials and traditional viewers discontinue and unbundle their television, internet, and landline telephone services (Snyman & Gilliard, 2018). Millennials are keeping their monthly expenses down by subscribing to streaming services that provide the content they are interested in watching, and binge-watching of serial television shows is the new norm (Prastien, 2019). “Over-the-top” (OTT) television and “online video distribution” (OVD) are terms that originally referred to the streaming television services provided by Netflix, Hulu and Amazon.

While I was never a Randolph TV customer, I recently switched from a satellite-based TV service (DirectTV) to a streaming TV service by AT&T called ATT TV Now (www.atttvnow.com). I March 8 made this change for cost reasons. Daylight Savings Time Begins March 17 Overall, I am pleased with the change.

  • ACM West Steve Israelsky Live Streaming.Pdf
    ACM West Live Streaming A virtual Multichannel Video Provider vMVPD A virtual MVPD (vMVPD) is a service that provides multiple television channels through the internet without supplying its own data transport infrastructure (i.e. coaxial cable, fiber, or satellite technology). These services are also sometimes called “skinny bundles” as they often contain fewer channels than a traditional cable or satellite subscription. You may be familiar with some vMVPDs such as Sling TV, DirecTV Now, PlayStation Vue, Fubo, Philo, YouTube TV and Hulu Live. Increasingly, content is available as a vMVPD These vMVPD’s are most often delivered through... Some Statistics ● Virtual MVPD use is still small but growing rapidly. In April 2018, 5 percent (4.9MM) of U.S. households with Wi-Fi internet streamed a pure-play vMVPD on their television screen. This is a remarkable 58 percent increase in households from the year before. ● vMVPDs are being adopted by more than just the younger generations. In April 2017, 29 percent of households using a pure-play vMVPD had a head of household under age 35. In just one year, that percentage dropped eight points to only 21 percent, indicating a higher number of older viewers are now using vMVPDs. Also from Comscore But viewer/platform changes can benefit PEG media ● If one looks at the opportunities these new platforms offer, if not for the outdated funding model that does not include internet, there are many opportunities ● Social media is just another method of distribution, but it comes with ratings! ● These other platforms also support HD, on-demand viewing, and feedback.
