New online competitors and business models are challenging traditional media players. At the same time, through the digitization of the industry, consumers are gaining access to sheer endless opportunities to consume media. This creates a complex and volatile environment for media companies and it is ever more important to understand how this transformation affects value flows. With this report, Arthur D.

The objective of this report is to enable: n Media corporations to identify opportunities for vertical or horizontal integration, as well as to guide portfolio optimizations and go to market strategy n Financial investors to identify the most attractive market segments and acquisition targets n Policy makers to identify areas where excessive value capture is leading to economic imbalances during the transformation n Academia to build on a strong base of data and a framework, which can be used to deepen research into the transformation of individual segments of the media industry “Flow of Funds” Methodology Arthur D.

DEUTSCHE TV-PLATTFORM: HYBRID TV - BETTER TV HBBTV AND MUCH, MUCH MORE Deutsche TV Platform (DTVP) was founded more than 25 years ago to introduce and develop digital media tech- nologies based on open standards. Consequently, DTVP was also involved in the introduction of HbbTV. When the HbbTV initiative started at the end of 2008, three of the four participating companies were members of the DTVP: IRT, Philips, SES Astra. Since then, HbbTV has played an important role in the work of DTVP. For example, DTVP did achieve the activation of HbbTV by default on TV sets in Germany; currently, HbbTV 2.0 is the subject of a ded- icated DTVP task force within the Working Group Smart Media. HbbTV is a perfect blueprint for the way DTVP works by promoting the exchange of information and opinions between market participants, stakeholders and social groups, coordinating their various interests. In addition, DTVP informs the public about technological develop- ments and the introduction of new standards.

In this role, Cleary will lead all sales, marketing and client success teams for Zattoo’s next stage of growth. Founded in 2005, Zattoo started its service by streaming the FIFA World Cup 2006 in Switzerland. Since then, Zattoo Live TV has successfully navigated disruption across the TV, media and economic landscape to grow into a successful business with 170 employees located in Switzerland, Germany and the US. The company, which sells direct to the consumer and operates as a third-party platform for other businesses to deliver content to clients, has maintained 30 percent year-on- year growth for the past decade. Today, Zattoo is available on smartphones, tablets, desktop and smart TVs. In April 2019, Tamedia acquired a majority interest in Zattoo to further expand in Europe and beyond. Based on the wider market opportunity and success of Zattoo’s B2B business, the company is planning to reinforce its efforts in this segment and transform from a B2C company into a B2B company with a B2C offering. Cleary is on the management team driving this business shift. He is leading the sales and marketing teams to build out the client base to large telecoms operators and over-the-top (OTT) media services in Europe.

INSIGHTS 2019 Traditional TV, Online Video & Streaming
INSIGHTS 2019 Traditional TV, online video & streaming - Disney+ special US UK Germany Denmark Sweden Norway Finland 2 AudienceProject Insights 2019 05 Editorial 07 Disney+ CONTENTS 19 Media usage 35 About the study AudienceProject Insights 2019 3 4 AudienceProject Insights 2019 Will Disney spin a business fairytale? Disney is gearing up to take on Netflix in the US Despite Disney+ just now going live in the US and the release still months in the future in Europe, the new streaming service is already looking to become a challenger for the top spots in a crowded field. In the US, more than half have already heard about Disney+ and 43% intend to subscribe. Not surprisingly, especially families with children EDITORIAL are expected to sign up to Disney+. The good news for the incumbent services is that most people will keep their existing packages. However, about 40% of the subscriber-in- tenders expect to cancel one or more of Disney’s competitors, with Netflix being mentioned most often. In the US, Norway and Finland, the likely drop will hit the hardest with 7%, 8% and 8%, respectively. It is not all sour for Netflix though. For the first time, the American com- pany is number one in all the seven countries covered in our study - even in Finland, where the local broadcaster YLE up until now has been sitting on the throne. Talking about thrones, the biggest jump in users in the Nordics comes from HBO Nordic, while HBO is finding it harder to gain traction in its home market. The question is if it can hold that position in the North post Game of Thrones.
