Twitter and Facebook both claim to be broadcasters' ideal partners. Yet as they compete for $211 billion in global TV ad spend, how far do their interests match the television industry's? Broadcasters are developing Social TV integration to drive viewer tune-in and engagement, boosting live viewing and ad revenue. This means confronting Social TV’s challenges, particularly reaching mass audiences beyond the early adopters. Major advertisers want Social TV shows and interactive ad formats for innovative advertising. However, they also require Social TV providers to have scale. Who can supply it? Pay-TV operators envisage a Social TV model of subscribers recommending content to each other, boosting average revenue per user. How feasible is this? TV producers are creating new formats incorporating viewer participation, with live commenting, polls, voting and gaming. However, the full potential of social media and television is still untapped. Social TV startups are attracting millions of dollars of investment from media and tech giants such as BSkyB, Hearst, Time Warner and Google. How is this shaping the future of television? Social TV is moving fast and organisations must move rapidly to realise its potential and remain competitive. Understanding the Social TV market, identifying key trends and adapting digital strategies have never been more important. 284 pages of analysis, including profiles of 97 Social TV startup companies, plus 80 tables and figures. An appendix has 63 Social TV colour screenshots.

Sample Page 7.1. The TV industry is investing in Social TV startups Both individual television companies and groups have opted to take stakes in Social TV startups. This gives them more control over how the startups operate within the television industry and enables both sides to co-operate more effectively in offering innovative Social TV services to viewers.

7.2. ConnecTV – US and global ambitions Social TV service ConnecTV launched in dozens of American local TV markets in June 2012, backed by a consortium of major TV broadcast groups. ConnecTV apps use automatic content recognition to identify what TV show a viewer is watching and then offer additional second screen content and social interaction. The platform integrates with Twitter and Facebook so users can connect with their friends and share moments from their favourite shows. It enables users to see which TV shows their friends are watching, invite them to a virtual viewing party and start a real-time chat. By January 2013, the company had rolled out AdSync, described as the US television industry’s firstever fully synchronized advertising network. This allows brands to sync a second screen experience with their TV spots via the ConnecTV platform. The same month, ConnecTV began signing up celebrities for regular chats with TV audiences while shows aired, to encourage viewer engagement with the shows (and ads) on both television and ConnecTV apps. This initiative began in November 2011, when 10 TV broadcast groups come together in a long-term partnership with ConnecTV, which was then a startup. The aim was to create a second screen social network for viewers of the broadcasters’ local TV stations, which cover 76m US households. Participating groups include: Barrington Broadcasting, Belo Corp, Cox Media, E W Scripps, Gannett Broadcasting, Hearst Television, Media General, Meredith Corp, Post-Newsweek Stations and Raycom Media. These TV groups together own 201 stations (ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, CW and WB affiliates) in 45 of the top 50 TV markets. The broadcasters, some of which invested in ConnecTV, are integrating and synchronising their programming via its platform, and promote the service on-air and online. The partners are promoting ConnecTV itself, rather than apps that are specific to shows or channels. Their concern is that such specific apps will be of less interest to potential users. Broadcasters have their local advertising inventory within ConnecTV for programme promotions and to deliver campaigns via local ad sales teams. The service went live in June 2012, at first in top 40 markets, including 85 local ABC, CBS, CW, Fox, NBC and MyNetworkTV stations and by January 2013, had reached almost 250 US local TV stations. However, ConnecTV’s mission statement apparently points to a much wider scale of ambition in competing with all contenders in the global Social TV market. “ConnecTV is driven to be the most compelling consumer experience in Social Television – the dominant social network for TV viewers worldwide.”

7.3. Fox Broadcasting – stake in ACTV8 Fox Broadcasting has taken a stake in Social TV startup ACTV8 for an undisclosed amount. The company began launching apps for several Fox prime-time series, beginning with sit-com New Girl. ACTV8 also has a loyalty points system offering users real-time digital coupons.
