Blame Netflix, said Sanford C. Bernstein analyst Todd Juenger in a report analyzing the 3Q14 drop in C3 ratings for ad-supported TV. “We examine all the evidence at hand and come to a strong conclusion that SVOD is primarily to blame,” said Juenger, predicting another 4 percent decline in linear TV thanks to Netflix. “It seems SVOD is no longer incremental, it has become cannibalistic.” Report said the drop is biggest in primetime and among younger demos.

5 MINUTES WITH…
With the Cynopsis Digital Model D Awards fast approaching on Nov. 14, we chatted with Jason George, Telescope CEO and finalist in the Social Media Campaign for Broadcast TV category about his entry, as well as the industry right now. Come celebrate with us at the Awards by registering here.
Your entry, #VOICESAVE, encouraged fans of NBC’s The Voice to participate in the live show to keep their favorite contestant in the running. How did the idea come about?
NBC and One Three Media wanted to focus on the Tuesday Voice results show and see how an interactive mechanic could add drama and “stickiness” to the broadcast – especially something that was live. Given the already extensive use of Twitter alongside the show and how powerful a live impact vote is for TV audiences, putting the real-time save/elimination power directly in the hands of the viewers seemed like the right direction to all of us. The real beauty of this campaign is how The Voice integrated #VOICESAVE to drive buzz and conversation throughout the entire program.
Social statistics are still struggling to gain ground in the TV industry. What would you say to critics about why social integration is so important to the future of TV?
It really comes back to one thing – the reliance of a $65 billion advertising industry on an antiquated ratings system – a sample of 10,000 homes (out of 120m) – which in today’s day and age is pretty laughable. So the whole argument narrows down to whether or not social engagement impacts ratings – which of course can’t actually be proved either way. So what do we know? In the case of The Voice, I know that the campaign increased followers by 50%, that in the first episode it generated 1.92m tweets, and that those tweets generated 28m impressions with a total reach of 3.8m people. So, as we see it, that’s a hugely positive and measurable success story.
If Telescope wins, how do you plan on celebrating?
After the event finishes Friday afternoon, we’re enticing clients like Viggle and HGTV (also up for one of the awards) to forego a return to the office and head out after the lunch for a couple of “snifters” with us. So expect to see us carousing around the hostelries of Manhattan – glass of fizz in one hand, Cynopsis awards clutched in the other.
