A CYNOPSIS MESSAGE FROM OOYALA
Today’s tech-savvy audiences expect to be part of content creation. They want more video and they want it faster. And they expect it all to be personalized.
Ooyala’s special report goes deep into the details on consumer behaviors, ad blockers, social platforms, programmatic and more.
How are major media publishers responding to these trends? (And how should you respond?)
The latest Viacom vamoose has Nickelodeon president of content development and production Russell Hicks checking out of the kids’ net after 18 years. Announcing Hicks’ decision to step down, Cyma Zarghami, president of Viacom’s Kids and Family Group, said, “The current temporary structure for our teams will remain in place while we regroup and formulate the right plan for going forward.” Last month, Michele Ganeless left her role as President of Viacom’s Comedy Central.
Between half and three quarters of C3 gross ratings points for P18-49 on ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC are generated by live or near-live programming, according to a study from MoffettNathanson. “Big picture, the broadcast networks have steadily become the home of live sports, news and reality competition,” said the report. “In other words, programming (and advertising) that is best consumed live.” And don’t tell Big Bang Theory, but, “The shift in consumption and programming patterns has all but killed the 30-minute sitcom with only 6 percent of GRPs now coming from that genre.”

2017 will be the year advertisers spend more on the Internet than on TV, projects PwC in its 5-year “Global Entertainment and Media Outlook 2016-2020” report. But while Internet advertising ($75.3 billion) will overtake broadcast TV advertising for the first time in the U.S., “Broadcast TV advertising has responded fairly robustly to digital disruption and is expected to remain healthy with a projected 2.8 percent CAGR and $70.4 billion by 2017,” according to PwC. “Mobile behaviors are challenging the traditional value of attention and the ability to monetize advertising dollars. There’s no one perfect metric to inform advertisers of the value they get when you consider the shifting consumer behaviors,” said Deborah Bothun, PwC’s global and U.S. entertainment and media leader. “However, the market will be hindered by consumer resistance to a poor ad experience and potential widespread adoption of ad-blocking technology.”
