“ The emergence of ‘audience graph’ within the OTT space (similar to what FB relies on or what’s in existence on the Data Management side) will be the single most impactful enhancement to audience measurement.”

MobiTV and Amino Communications are combining the MobiTV Connect app-based TV platform solution with the AminoOS Enable operating system to give operators new options for expanding their video services using existing devices. “By enabling operators to offer exciting next generation services such as MobiTV with a relatively modest additional investment, we’re extending the life of installed devices: a highly significant CAPEX benefit,” said Amino CEO Donald McGarva.
Creative platform VidMob announced the global expansion of the company and its technology solution, the Agile Creative Studio, with the opening of two new offices: Dublin, Ireland and São Paulo, Brazil. The former will serve as VidMob’s new EMEA headquarters, supporting campaigns for various Fortune 500 companies and direct to consumer brands. The São Paulo office will manage work and relationships with brands and agencies across Latin America.
The CW is adding a live, ad-supported linear extension of its digital network CW Seed, and PeopleTV is signed on launch content partner. CW Seed Live will debut in late fall via CWSeed.com and the CW Seed app, available via Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, iOS, Android, Xbox, Chromecast and Android TV. CW Seed originally launched six years ago.
Although Apple bested Wall Street estimates for its Q3 earnings and revenue, iPhone sales came in lower than expected for the quarter. Earnings hit $2.18 a share, though profit was down from $2.34 during the same quarter a year ago. Total revenue came in at $53.8 billion, topping the projected $53.4 billion and ahead of the $53.3 million in the year-ago period. Revenue from the iPhone, which accounts for approximately half of the company’s sales, was $26 billion, short of the estimate for $26.5 billion. The Cupertino company’s share price ticked up 3 percent yesterday, after Apple projected a strong fourth quarter that will include the introduction of a new iPhone in September.
Spotify added 8 million subscribers in 2Q19, below a projected 8.5 million, but boasted of 232 million monthly active users, up from 217 million in the first quarter. Average revenue per user was down 1%, thanks in part to a biannual campaign offering customers the service for $1.
As the streaming media market matures and approaches saturation, sales increasingly come at another vendor’s expense, according to a report from Parks Associates, “360 Deep Dive: Adoption and Use of Connected Video Devices.” And that necessitates a shift from hardware sales to advertising revenue, says the study. “Video-quality features are the most important factors when consumers buy a connected video device, although Roku and Amazon have certainly benefited among streaming media players by having broad product portfolios that include lower price points,” said Senior Analyst Kristen Hanich.
Cord-cutting has become “freaking ugly,” in the words of Michael Nathanson in a report from MoffettNathanson on media companies. Based on quarterly numbers, the rate of traditional cord-cutting will reach 5.5% in 2019, the worst it has ever been, said Nathanson, who continued, “Even adding back virtual MVPD subscribers, the drop will be 2.7%, a new low.” On the other hand, over the last five years the length of time each viewer spends on a network has increased, from 28.1 minutes to 32.2 minutes for broadcast, and from 20.4 minutes to 23.7 minutes (likely because the people who have not cut the cord are the most devoted TV viewers). Nets that have grown both in reach and length of tune include INSP, Motor Trend, Discovery En Espanol and Discovery Family, noted the report.
Viamedia announced the launch of QTT, a patent pending technology aimed at growing cable TV ad dollars by tapping into the programmatic digital advertising marketplace. In market trials this summer, QTT enables digital supply side platforms and their demand side platform partners to dynamically access linear cable TV inventory in real time. QTT’s breakthrough is converting a standard SCTE 35 cue tone into an IAB-compliant VAST ad request infused with rich content and audience metadata for segmentation and targeting.
Google has been testing new app Google Play Pass, a subscription bundle that gives users access to premium apps for one monthly price. It promises users “all play, no interruptions,” according to a promotional graphic discovered by Android Police. While a Google spokesperson confirmed the company is testing the subscription, no further information was revealed. The app costs $4.99 per month and offers access to “hundreds of premium apps and games without ads, download fees or in-app purchases.”
