Singapore Offices C NTENT 5-18 March 2018 www.contentasia.tv l www.contentasiasummit.com Discovery-Scripps Hyper-local boost for Asia streamers wed on Wed New MCA-TV4 Entertainment venture kicks off in Asia Exec exits likely as Perrette integrates teams At some point this week (we’re hearing Wednesday morning Asia time), Discov- ery’s acquisition of Scripps will be a done deal, and questions will start being an- swered, beginning with: Who’s in charge of the blended family in Asia? What will the integration do to headcount in the region? Which brands will survive the kill-or-keep game? And what Scripps’ high-octane Asia head, Leena Singara- jah, chooses to do next? A likely option for now is to keep the structure put in place when Discovery Asia-Pacific president/MD, Arthur Bastings, exited, with no overall Asia-Pacific MD and country/region bosses reporting into international president/CEO, J.B. Perrette. This throws the spotlight onto Singa- rajah, who has given no indication of whether she’s moving into Discovery’s Singapore offices. Or not. There’s also no clear sense of who TV4 Entertainment original, Mothers & Daughters, starring Sharon Stone and Susan Sarandon among Discovery or Scripps staffers has a clear run at keeping their jobs, or whether Perrette will bring in new people entirely as LA-based TV4 Entertainment is expanding team, under Creevey as MD. he attempts to resurrect the Asia business. into Asia Pacific in an exclusive alliance Creevey has long beat a drum in the Together, Discovery/Scripps in Asia have with Gregg Creevey’s Multi Channels TV/video space for speciality content, about 200-220 people, with widespread Asia (MCA) to develop the next genera- and, as consumers continue to migrate role duplication.

HITS Movies goes live KIRI Rewind pushes ahead with film plans FROM MULTI-AWARD WINNING WRITER JACK THORNE drama that captivates from talent that resonates City Slickers Avi Himatsinghani’s Rewind Networks premieres a week- end movie strand on Saturday, 17 March, expanding the original “best of…” content concept for the first time since the network launched in 2013. The HITS Movies Presents strand, with six slots (3pm, 8pm and 10pm) over Saturday and Sunday, goes live with comedy City Slickers, starring Billy Crystal, Daniel Stern, Bruno Kirby and Jack Palance. City Slickers will be followed by The Amityville Horror, The Good, The Bad and the Ugly and Pink Panther. The addition of movies to the series schedule is a precur- sor to a full HITS Movies channel that Rewind plans to roll out later this year. The full HITS Movies channel will carry titles from all major Hollywood Studios. “We are doing nothing different,” Himatsinghani says, still firm in his conviction that there’s demand for curated MIPTV Stand No: P3.C10 content with a clear proposition. “We are looking at need gaps,” he adds. @all3media_int “We did that with HITS when we put the best TV series of all3mediainternational.com all time in one place. We realised early on that there was a similar gap for special curation of the best Hollywood movies of the past four decades for basic tier subscription audiences,” he says. HITS Movies features films from the 1960s to 1990s. Mov- ies that make the cut are blockbusters of their times, says Rewind Networks’ programming head Sandie Lee. 5-18 March 2018 page 2.

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.

Dissertations - ALL. 448. https://surface.syr.edu/etd/448 This Dissertation is brought to you for free and open access by the SURFACE at SURFACE. It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.

  • Development of Nonwoven Fabrics for Clothing Applications
    e e Sci nce Cheema et al., J Textile Sci Eng 2018, 8:6 til & x e E T n : g DOI 10.4172/2165-8064.1000382 f o i n l e a e n r r i n u g o Journal of Textile Science & Engineering J ISSN: 2165-8064 Research Article Article OpenOpen Access Access Development of Nonwoven Fabrics for Clothing Applications Cheema MS1*, Anand SC1 and Shah TH2 1Institute of Materials Research and Innovation, University of Bolton, Deane Road, Bolton BL3 5AB, United Kingdom 2National Textile University, Pakistan Abstract The apparel fabric manufacturing is a growing sector of the global textile industry and the fabrics used in this market are mainly produced by the conventional methods such as weaving and knitting processes. These methods of making apparel fabrics are length and costly. However, because of the advancements in nonwoven technology, nonwoven fabrics are finding a niche market in the clothing industry because of its cost effectiveness and high speeds of nonwoven production processes. We have carried out an extensive study on the development of apparel- like nonwoven fabrics. The resultant fabric showed improved drape, hand, durability and thermophysiological comfort characteristics than the reference samples for apparel applications. Results of the study also showed that the developed nonwoven fabrics showed nearly 200% higher tensile strength than the reference nonwoven fabrics. Furthermore, it also showed improved air permeability, for example, the resultant nonwoven fabric exhibited 500% higher air permeability value as compared with the Evolon fabric at 100 Pa pressure. Thus the results of the study indicate that the resultant nonwoven fabrics may be used in a wide range of apparel applications, which can lead to additional benefits in terms of cost and time.

Ph.D. August 2004. Telecommunications Managing the Content of Malaysian Television Drama: Producers, Gatekeepers and the Barisan Nasional Government (303 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Drew McDaniel Abstract: The purpose of this dissertation is to describe and analyze how drama television content is managed in Malaysia. By looking at the production process of local drama television programming, this study examines the interactions among the three major players – the Barisan Nasional regime, the major television networks and independent producers – who are responsible for shaping its content. Three research methods are used for this study: in-depth interviewing, the informal conversational interview and documentary research. Between June 2001 and November 2002, 32 interviewees participated in this research. The research finds that the Malaysian drama television producer’s ability to generate program content is constrained by the Barisan Nasional regime. Three observations are made to outline the power relationship between the government and the television industry. First, the government often encourages television producers to make drama programs with the theme of friendship and goodwill (muhibah) among different ethnic communities in order to nurture racial harmony.
