Via Scoop.it – Monetizing The Customer Experience

It’s in talks with content companies now. Google has sought approval from the FCC to launch a video service over the fiber network it’s building out in Kansas City, and the service could launch in the next two months.The Wall Street Journal uncovered the FCC filing, and cites an unnamed media executive who is involved in licensing talks with Google, who said that the service is getting close to launch. This echoes a report from last year that Google would deliver pay TV — not just super-fast Internet access — over the Google Fiber network.

The Revolution In ‘Content Everywhere’ – 02/22/2012… As the importance of new content-business-models increases, so, too do TV and digital distribution deals that push continued convergence across platforms. Original content deals across all platforms are the new norm, with You Tube for one, quietly changing the terms for some channel producers to encompass an “everywhere model,” and with CBS exploring direct-to-Netflix content deals. It now looks as if a U.S. digital window, with international TV distribution, can and is working. With the Netflix original series “Lilyhammer” licensed in a digital “first-window” type model in the U.S., and traditional and digital TV distribution across Europe, this shows a huge shift — that online as a pay window for Web originals can and will play as “TV everywhere.” The push towards content and TV “everywhere” still shows challenges, from lack of awareness to content availability across networks and platforms – but still presents huge revenue opportunities if done correctly through the development stage.

Consumers Forgoing Pay-TV For Internet Services

wcntransmedia — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 20:18:51 +0000

Via Scoop.it – Monetizing The Customer Experience

Consumers are looking to on-demand video programming more and more, but the pay-TV operators who generally control those offerings may be facing some disruptive challenges in the near future. According to The NPD Group, video-on-demand revenues from pay-TV services hit $1.3 billion last year, with 15% of consumers age 13 or older having used the services at least once in the 12-month period between August 2010 and August 2011. All told, there were about 40 million users of video on demand during that 12-month period, according to NPD (formerly National Purchase Diary.) However, a competitive set of Internet video-on-demand options is growing at a healthy clip as well. Revenues from Internet video-on-demand hit $204 million last year, and the channel (which includes offerings from iTunes, Amazon, Vudu and others) hit seven million users by August 2011. According to NPD, one out of every six (16%) paid video-on-demand movie rental transactions were attributed to Internet sources in 2011. With the increase in Internet-connected video devices (particularly TVs), that number could accelerate quickly. “Internet-connected everything will absolutely accelerate adoption, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see doubling of iVOD in a year to 18 months,” Russ Crupnick, senior vice president of industry analysis for the NPD Group, tells Marketing Daily. Moreover, the evidence suggests that more consumers are choosing to forgo the pay-TV services for the Internet services. According to NPD, iVOD users reduced the time they spent watching television shows, news and sports via pay-TV companies by 12% between August 2010 and August 2011. According to NPD, consumers perceive iVOD movies to be a better value than those offered by pay-TV companies and that the Internet offers greater availability of titles. “Cable companies need to improve the user experience, become better marketers of VOD, and work with [production companies and studios] on getting ‘most favored nation status,’” Crupnick says. “Consumers will ultimately use a variety of services so there is opportunity for cable to be one. But there also risk they get shuffled out.” “iVOD distributors are effectively using CRM, free trials, and other promotions to gain trial usage of their services by new customers,” Crupnick said. “With this new competition eating away at revenues, pay-TV operators need to be equally aggressive with promotions, in order to instill a habit of movie buying among their subscribers.” Read more: http://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/168122/consumers-forgoing-pay-tv-for-internet-services.html?edition=43735#ixzz1n8ysmTAB

Regina Taylor, the acclaimed actress/director/writer of films and stage, will be part of the Feature Film Seminar extravaganza that veteran filmmaker Nate Grant of Lake Shore Film & TV Productions has spent several years bringing to fruition. The 15-session, two day event taking place this weekend, Saturday, Feb. 25 and Sunday, Feb. 26, in various areas of the vast Cinespace Studios, presents top professionals in many disciplines for a full array of discussions and demonstrations on how to produce and finance independent films. Grant, who retired from teaching film at Illinois State University last July, says his “ah ha moment” for the Feature Film Seminar came when he learned that Cinespace Studios had come to town and he raced over to see it. “Obviously, someone’s got big plans, I thought, and that was when I felt we should get everyone ready and revved up with knowledge and job strategies for an a potential demand,” he says. “There is a subculture of talented and energetic filmmakers in town, inclusive of women and minorities, that might surprise a lot of us in what they’re doing. We hope that our seminar will inform and inspire everyone in their endeavors here.”

A Far Cry From Sunset |BILLY FRANKS’S NEW BOOK & WEBSITE

“Anyone in, thinking of getting in, or desperate to get out of, the music industry, or simply a lover of great music, should read this book. Then they will know what it takes to dedicate a life to something you love” MARC GEIGER – Vice President – WILLIAM MORRIS AGENCY Introduction A Far Cry from Sunset In the summer of 2005, three friends and I took an eight month journey across the two continents of America and Europe.
We were on a mission: – to get ten of the world’s most famous recording artists to record a tribute album to an unknown songwriter; – And that songwriter would be me. And as we travelled we were going to make a road movie; an epic chronicle of our quest, and a testament to our friendship.
We made it and we called it, Tribute This!
The adventures we had and the people we met changed my life profoundly. Not only its present but also how I viewed its past. Apart from our struggles with managers, publicists, security and even one or two of the artists themselves, we ran into so many people from ordinary walks of life; cab drivers, hotel porters, fans standing in line to see their heroes, who couldn’t do enough to help or encourage us on our journey. For one long summer, we lived life so brilliantly; so full of laughter and a gathering sense of achievement that I wondered if the artists we were pursuing ever got to see life in anything like the same way.
In contrast they seemed so protected, so hidden away, so cut off from the world that, towards the end of our travels, the thought occurred to me that, at that point in time, I wouldn’t swap one year of their lives for one day of ours.
My hope is that, in reading my account of those heady days, you will understand why. Billy Franks
