The comfort of investors with ZEEL's earnings may be tested in the coming quarters, as sports losses are likely to escalate over expectations. We note that content expenses of sports properties are denominated in US dollars, and 3QFY14 could be a high expense quarter for Zee Entertainment, on account of India-SA series (assuming the confusion regarding the series and its schedule is resolved).

While this thesis is theoretically true, it only showcases one side of the equation. Digitisation is a double-edged sword and is likely to transform the broadcast space with power shifting from distribution / broadcasting networks to content. In such a scenario, we believe broadcasting networks like ZEEL, Star India and Sun TV Network face a huge challenge of investing in compelling content in an era of accessible distribution. Star India has upped the ante by large audacious bets on sport (cricket) and movie satellite rights.

  • EY Media & Entertainment (M&E) Report
    A billion screens of opportunity India's Media & Entertainment sector March 2019 Foreword Global Goes Indian! A heartfelt welcome to the 2019 edition of the FICCI–EY Media & Entertainment (M&E) report. This year’s report provides an opportunity to the industry to better understand last year’s performance and take stock of the emerging market dynamics. In a nutshell, last year has proven to be a decent one for our sector as traditional sectors like broadcast TV and films seem to have maintained a healthy pace and performed as per expectations on the back of growing subscription base and ticket prices respectively. Whereas, new age digital media has created an upward trajectory of its own and an explosion in growth seems to be on the cards. Thus, Indian M&E continues to match up to predictions and become ever more vibrant. Uday Shankar The M&E sector is poised to kickstart a new era of growth. Vice President, FICCI & Chair, Technological disruptions are creating new opportunities for the FICCI Media and Entertainment Division sector. India is headed towards a billion screens of opportunity and one can hope that the sector’s incumbents shall innovate, transform and increase their relevance to mass and individual consumers. In doing so the Indian M&E sector shall become the harbinger of technical and product innovation and create content that would not only capture our imaginations but firmly establish India’s position as a global content hub. I’m confident that Indian M&E is headed towards becoming a world-class media-tech sector on the back of access to global audiences through online platforms, its large talent pool, storytelling capabilities, post-production and VFX expertise and policy and regulatory certainty.
