Netflix launched its platform in Latin America in September and the pay TV industry continues to study its potential negative impact on the sector. Yet the streaming service could actually be exactly what the sector needs to move forward. By Stephanie Biscomb

“Netflix is a complement to existing cable and satellite, which have news, have sports and a very broad selection. Netflix is only movies and TV shows.”
During the press conference held on Wednesday, September 7 at the Park Hyatt Palacio Duhay Hotel in Buenos Aires -which ttv attended- the CEO of Netflix, Reed Hastings, did his best to calm down an industry that seems to be having a hard time believing or trusting him. “Is this the end of cable? Is this the new way for TV?” he asked the journalists in the room. “The answer is no. Netflix is a complement to existing cable and satellite, eyond the features which have news, have sports Netflix’s service will and a very broad selection. “We try not to directly have in Latin AmeriNetflix is only movies and TV compete with TV ca, the real question shows.” And to make his point networks.” is how it will impact even clearer, he pointed out on the region’s TV industry.

But the CEO did say that Netflix tries to not “directly compete with the main TV networks. We do not have the current season of shows; we have the prior seasons of shows. And that is part of why many people subscribe both to cable or satellite and to Netflix.” In fact, and considering that movies will become available on the platform one year
“One of the challenges for Netflix and all of paid services like Telefónica is the existence of piracy because it is very inexpensive for a consumer to use a site that has a lot of piracy.” “We do not have the current season of shows; we have the prior seasons of shows.

Even though piracy rates do drop once users have a cheap and legal alternative in markets like the US, it’s hard to imagine that Latin American consumers will follow the same path. ‘Convincing’ US consumers took companies years of advertising, STRANGE ALLIES AGAINST PIRACY. “One of mostly thanks to the public debate driven by the the challenges for Netflix and all of paid services music industry.

And nobody means, well, nobody: even Hastings isn’t sure about how the company will do in the region. “We are expanding around the world and in Argentina with a longer-term view. How fast will we grow in the first year is unknown,” he said. He mentioned broadband penetration, the amount of people with credit cards and appealing content as the keys that’ll determine the service’s success in Latin America. Yet once the cameras were turned off, he confessed to ttv that the company is expecting to break even in the region in about two years. Two years is not very long when considering the big picture, but it’s enough time for operators to concoct their own survival plans. And probably the best advice is given by Hastings himself, when talking about how Netflix will strive to succeed in the region: offer a great service that is worth paying for. It’s as simple as that. ttv

Screen to TV Seeing Steven Spielberg -and other famous filmmakers- cross over from film to TV is a clear example of how TV production in the US has become a pretty big deal. A US trend that features astounding stories, universal audiences, powerful budgets and happy viewers.

SPIELBERG ON TV. Spielberg -and his production company DreamWorks- was engaged in some TV productions that are definitely worth mentioning. He teamed up with actor and producer Tom Hanks to produce ‘Band of Brothers’ (2001) ten years ago, a war miniseries made for HBO with an estimated budget of US$125 million that flabbergasted everyone around the world. This miniseries was awarded And a clear of example from the very heart of with an Emmy and a Golden Globe back in 2001.

invasion. Also this year, he is currently producing another sci-fi series called Terra Nova (2011) for Fox. This genre -his personal obsession- fits him just right: his resume includes films like ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’ (1977), ‘E.T.’ (1982), ‘A.I.: Artificial Intelligence’ (2001) or ‘The War of the Worlds’ (2005). A two-hour pilot of ‘Terra Nova’, an epic story set in the year 2149, was showcased during the latest
LA Screenings at the 20th Century Fox studios. Just the pilot’s budget for the series -which premiered on September 26- was around US$16 million, a company source told ttv Preview. That big names like Steven Spielberg have started to get involved in the TV industry and the large production budgets spent on these mega projects hasn’t really impacted the TV business model but can be seen in each show’s audiovisual narrative,
One completely different case is that of Jeffrey Jacobs Abrams (New York, 1966), better known as J.J. Abrams. The talented US writer, producer and director became a legend thanks to his very successful series ‘Lost’ (2004-2010) and ‘Fringe’ (2008-).

Trends ttvpreview target audiences and storytelling. Series produced by studios must fit a global audience in order to secure worldwide distribution. In the case of ‘Terra Nova’, the story has a universal flavor because it cannot be associated to one particular place on Earth and the talent of its narrative lies on its capacity to reach people who live thousands of miles away. Another project with the Spielberg signature brand is called ‘Rising: Rebuilding Ground Zero’, a sixepisode testimonial miniseries made for Discovery Channel as a tribute for the tenth anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York.
Falling Skies Serie
This personal testimony premiered September 6 on Discovery Channel. World Trade Center One is the heart of the US filmmaker’s story: 104 explosion-proof stories soaring 1,776 feet (in honor of the US’ independence) into the sky. And, on the ground, the faces behind the area’s reconstruction, portrayed by Spielberg’s camera and the pillars of his storyline. Spielberg leaves his well-known super-productions behind to focus on those wounded by the gravest terrorist attack on US soil to date.

‘‘THE MAN OF YOUR DREAMS’, Telefe’s new series, is led by scriptwriter and writer Juan José Campanella and by renowned actor Guillermo Francella, both directly involved in the Oscar-winning ‘The Secret in Their Eyes’ (2009) as best foreign film. Present at the launch in the Abasto Shopping Center of Buenos Aires, ttv Preview had a conversation with the writer and director and with the series’ main characters.

he new series consists of 13 one-hour episodes and premiered on Sunday, July 17, on Telefe’s screen, becoming the most-watched TV program of that day. ‘El Hombre de tu Vida’ (‘The Man of Your Dreams’) registered an average 27.3 rating points and even reached peaks of 29; the average share was of 53% in the 10:00 PM timeslot.
– The experience of ‘El Hombre de tu Vida’ has been fantastic from the very beginning, since Juan Campanella called me. He was called to go back to working in television after many years and he chose me to play the lead in his series. That filled me with satisfaction. When he told me the storyline of ‘El Hombre de tu Vida’ I liked it even more and I wanted to join in… I wanted to accompany him.
How would you define ‘El Hombre de tu Vida’? Juan José Campanella – ‘El Hombre de tu Vida’ is a series which combines a variety of tones: it has lots of comedy but it also has a touch of drama; it is heartwarming and features very human cases above all. As well as in my films, its humor is mostly based on dialogue than in funny situations.
What satisfaction does producing these kinds of series generate? Juan José Campanella – For us it’s a huge pleasure to work with the format of one case per week. It’s not a typical series of a group of friends in which things always happen with no kind of beginning, development and end in each chapter.
What is it like to be part of this project along with Juan José Campanella? Guillermo Francella
What makes ‘El Hombre de tu Vida’ a different television product? What sets it apart? Guillermo Francella – It’s a different program because it’s well
Duo scripted and its production is very movie-like. We’re not used to this kind of quality, lighting- and image-wise. I’m glad that people can now watch an alternative option on television.
And what’s so special about the stories? Guillermo Francella – ‘El Hombre de tu Vida’ has the quality that Juan gives to his projects, the importance that Juan gives to stories. The way he loves actors… there are several factors which will be appreciated on the screen.
Watch the video interview.
“‘El Hombre de tu Vida’ has the quality that Juan gives to his projects, the importance that Juan gives to stories.” (Guillermo Francella)
TTV PREVIEW/19
Juan José Campanella – ‘El Hombre de tu Vida’ has very complex production mechanics because each chapter is filmed like a movie. It takes more than twice the time to produce any episode. It’s a production complex with film cameras. We work with the same cameras with which we made ‘The Secret in Their Eyes’. All of this makes for a different way of shooting. Luckily, that allows us more time to work on scripts and that is fundamental. It’s a great pleasure to watch the result on the screen. Each finished chapter generates us greater enthusiasm, which helps us to carry on.
Red Carpet ttvpreview What audience is ‘El Hombre de tu Vida’ aimed at? Juan José Campanella – A different kind of audience has been gathering around broadcast TV and I cater –in addition to said audienceto that other audience which has abandoned
broadcast TV, tired of one kind of programming and which turned to cable TV to watch better thought-out scripts and better shot stories. My intention is for them to give us a chance and come watch us again. ttv
Behind the Scenes Juan José Campanella (Buenos Aires, 1959) not only produced cinematographic successes in Argentina like ‘El Hijo de la Novia’ (2001), ‘Luna de Avellaneda’ (2004) and ‘The Secret in Their Eyes’ (2009) but has also worked in the US, directing episodes of prestigious series such as ‘Law and Order’, ‘Dr. House’ and ‘30 Rock’.
“We work with the same cameras with which we made ‘The Secret in Their Eyes’. All of this makes for a different way of shooting. Luckily, that allows us more time to work on scripts and that is fundamental.” (Juan José Campanella)
The Story Hugo Bermúdez (Guillermo Francella) is a perfectly ordinary man: hard-working, honest and selfless father of an adolescent son whom he raised alone. Yet he is about to become the object of hundreds of women’s affection. Affected by a middle-age crisis which has left him unemployed and emotionally hurt, Hugo accepts, under pressure, to work for “The Love of Your Life”, a microcompany which promises men and women that they’ll find their better half. But the task is not that simple: more women than men call and the company hires Hugo as a wild card. By playing different personalities which take women’s wishes into account, Hugo goes on dates not only with a different name and look, but with a hidden purpose: to dazzle women at first but end up disappointing them so that they ask for another man or give up the task. With each woman, Hugo lives a different emotional story that makes him get involved in order to help them solve their problems. Carrying out this task will also help him face the ghosts of his own life. Alone for some years now and closed to love, he will start feeling that maybe it isn’t too late to leave the past behind and fall in love again.

Netflix:
Friend or Foe? Netflix’s launch in Latin America has driven the region’s TV and entertainment industry into a speculation frenzy. What’s going to happen to the popular online streaming service in a region plagued with piracy, broadband glitches and users wanting content for free? How will its business model impact a growing and stable pay TV market? ttv spoke to some of the most important players to finally get some answers.

na a n the week of ly tic m ge s – on vi September 5-12, t ew Ju Netflix finally launched ly hly s , 20 11 av across the region, holding ) er ag press conferences and e enabling social media accounts to answer all those questions the TV industry had been speculating about for months. Price ranges and available devices were revealed, users got to test the waters with month-long free accounts and, despite an aged library, everyone was momentarily happy with the end result.
Yet the most important questions -those that can only be answered with time- are still an enigma. Will Netflix actually work in Latin America? What obstacles will it most likely face? Will it survive them? What will it do to the region’s pay TV market? Is Netflix a complement to pay TV… or is it a competitor? WILL IT WORK? The vast majority of executives decided to plead the fifth with an honest “I don’t know” when asked about Netflix’s chances of survival in the region. Yet others, like Carlos Martínez, executive VP and general director at Fox Latin American Channels, were adamant. “I don’t think Netflix will succeed in Latin America,” the executive told ttv in an interview. “It has too many challenges to face.” And despite being in the minority, Martínez is not alone. Eduardo Ruiz, VP and general manager at A&E Ole Networks shared similar thoughts: “We’ve seen strong, big and monstrous companies enter the Latin American market one year and leave the next with their tail between their legs,” he told ttv, after wishing Netflix all the luck in the world.

Minority Report
It’s not hard to imagine exactly why Netflix could fail in its Latin American expansion. The possibility is quite latent and all industry players know the perils of doing business in the region very well. “Latin American markets are different to North American markets. Premium television and cable television work with certain variables that aren’t the same in the US and in Latin America. Even every single country within Latin America has different business variables,” Edgar Spielmann, CEO of Moviecity,
explained. And Spielmann should know: Moviecity is one of the only premium pay TV channels that offers online streaming of its content to users in Latin America. This is actually what Ruiz from A&E Ole Networks finds the most troubling. “Latin America isn’t just one market, its 20 different markets have different laws and different cultures,” he said. “It’s not going to be easy.”
broadband penetration isn’t equally distributed throughout the region. But the company remains hopeful in its long-term plans. “In Latin America broadband is developing, credit cards are spreading,” Hastings told ttv once the cameras were turned off. “In our business plan, we hope to break even in two years.“ But naysayers don’t see the future as shiny. “Broadband networks in Latin America can’t handle the amount of video that these kinds of platforms need in order to be successful,” Martínez from Fox Latin American Channels said, mirroring the concerns of some other players that have been quietly looking on the sidelines: telcos. NEUTRAL ON NEUTRALITY. Net neutrality is a worldwide issue to those immersed in advanced markets. Yet its discussion in Latin American soil is far from mature and Netflix could force it into the public agenda. “Services like Netflix help increase the perceived value of broadband connections,” Márcio Fabbris, marketing director of fixed services at Telefónica, told ttv before Brazil’s ABTA Congress in June, unwillingly glimpsing at what the future might bring. Telefónica is well-known for supporting the notion of imposing broadband quotas behind paywalls, a move it has not yet implemented in any of its operating countries but usually plays with.

BROADBAND AND CREDIT CARDS. Yet Netflix has bigger problems to worry about. “Several obstacles could slow Netlix down. First of all, its payment methods and platforms could play against it,” David Guerra, VP of sales and marketing for Latin America and the Caribbean at The Erotic Networks, told ttv. “Its second issue would be broadband. Broadband in Latin America isn’t the same as in the US or Europe and the user could end up being quite disappointed with the service.” In fact, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings himself seems to agree. At a press conference held to launch the service in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Hastings listed “broadband, credit cards and whether we have content that people will get excited about” as the three main variables for Netflix’s success. After all, only 30% of Latin Americans have a bank account, let alone a credit card. And, on the other hand,
And it is not the only one to do so. Antonio João, director at Brazil’s Via Embratel, also seemed to be considering the notion when he spoke to ttv. “We just hope that there’s some instance that considers competition issues amongst players in diverse platforms to discuss content rights, taxes and using operators’ broadband infrastructure,” he said. Even Netflix’s CEO has some comments about this. “Internet service providers love applications like YouTube, Netflix and Skype Video that work better at high speed internet because they are able to then sell more expensive packages at higher speeds,” Hastings said during the press conference in Buenos Aires. “Sometimes with ISPs, they don’t want to share the revenue that they collect (…). They say ‘You’re using our bandwidth so you should pay us,’ and we say ‘No, you should pay us,’ and it goes back and forth. So far in the US and Canada we don’t get
part of their revenue and they don’t get part of ours (…). The bottom line is: who is creating value? Is the content creating value or is the pipe creating value?” A PIRATE’S LIFE. Broadband and cultural diversity could very well give Netflix a hard time. But there is yet another issue: piracy. And here is where speculation becomes the most divided. “Online piracy is even worse than pay TV piracy in Latin America,” Martínez from Fox Latin American Channels insisted. “Here people are used to getting online content for free. Offering a paid model is very difficult.” Eduardo Mandía, commercial and programming manager at Uruguay’s Nuevo Siglo agreed with this. “It’s part of Latin America’s culture: people are not used to paying for online content. A lot of sites like, for instance, Cuevana, offer the same material for no cost.” Cuevana is a good example. The online streaming site is borderline illegal (or completely illegal, depending on who you ask) and yet manages to stay afloat thanks to legal loopholes and a very loyal fanbase. At the press conference in Buenos Aires, Hastings deliberately downplayed its -arguablymost important competitor’s role, leaving journalists bewildered. Was this blind confidence or perhaps a telling sign of how Netflix plans to leverage

An on que with Hollywood studios to al th vi yt finally take action and lay all the ics ly si – av tor Ju force of the law on Cuevana? Only ly s 20 era , time will tell but something seems to 11 ge ) point towards the latter.
And this is why many other executives think Netflix could be a solution to piracy, not foiled by it. “I think Netflix will have a difficult time in Latin America due to broadband issues, since it’s not very high-quality in the region,” Elie Wahba, SVP of 20th Century Fox Distribution for Latin America and the Caribbean, told ttv at the LA Screenings in May. “But on the other hand, Netflix could be a solution to finally put an end to piracy.” Netflix is also one of the few paid services Latin America even has. Just having a paid option is enough for some players to think that its impact on the industry will be widely positive. “It will generate a market and will increase audience demand for legal video content and platforms,” said Jonatan Fasano, mobile and value-added services manager at Terra Argentina.

will give Google invaluable leverage when negotiating with cable companies and TV manufacturers. Google has not implemented the smartest sales strategy for its OTT platform. Its main providers have already made dramatic price readjustments in set-top boxes and Google TV-enabled sets, with one of the cases (LG’s) showing more people returning the device than buying it during the last quarter. Yet focusing directly on operators through Motorola set-top boxes is exactly what Google TV needs to change its destiny.

box provider for the US cable industry. In fact, this business represented 30% of the company’s income during the first quarter of the year, earning US$900 million for the company in three months. By acquiring Motorola, Google now owns the device in every pay TV subscriber’s living room and the chance to merge it with its Google TV platform almost seamlessly. Of course operators -who are so afraid of the new generation of open OTT platforms- might not be willing to share their packages with Netflix or Hulu apps within the same operative system. Yet just possessing that much market share

THE RESURRECTION OF GOOGLE TV. If Google restructures its strategy in another direction -and if operators follow suit- it is very likely that the giant will end up leading a market that still has its top spot up for grabs. And let us not forget the emerging OTT market, which has already forecast the death of the set-top box. A symbiosis between set-top boxes and a platform like Google TV could very well be the next step in its evolution. Everything seems to indicate that users will soon watch TV through a Google TV-enabled device while using Android tablets and smartphones to check their e-mails in Gmail, interact via Google+ and surf the web using Google. All of a sudden, the future of cross-platform and TV Everywhere seems to have an unquestionable monopolic leader.

But we’re not just talking about the US this time: according to consulting agency Dataxis NexTV, Motorola’s set-top boxes enjoy great penetration rates in Latin America’s digital pay TV market. In fact, all of its main players -except for Net in Brazil- have digitalized their operations with the brand. And operations in the region made up 13% of Motorola’s Home Division’s revenue in the year’s second quarter, generating US$907 million. A SOUND BUSINESS. But nobody should forget that even though Google has previously ventured into the most diverse business fields, its profitability lies in the advertising platform standing strong behind all of its products. Let us imagine for just one second that pay TV operators aren’t willing to let Google TV flood their services. Even in that case, the new set-top box business does not prevent Google from doing what Google actually does best: data collection. Google will have access to all kinds of audience metrics via the Motorola set-top boxes, getting first-hand data on people’s TV viewing behaviors. It will not only be able to measure metrics better than
in linear TV, it will also be able to offer revolutionary advertising tools that are more accurately focused on niches and personalized to each audience segment based on behavior patterns while watching TV. The company that has always prided itself in following the “don’t be evil” motto has just made the most spectacular and evil move of its history. And despite the Google-Motorola marriage being very promising for the future of mobile devices, the potential it holds for the future of the TV market is as big or even bigger than we can even imagine. A CLOSE EYE ON NETFLIX. And let’s not forget about Netflix. According to what they’ve told ttv, the streaming service’s arrival to Latin American has made operators nervous enough to reach out to the company looking for partnerships to offer yet another value-added service to their subscribers. So far, nothing even hints at Netflix being interested in partnering with operators - and following this route would be unprecedented for the company. Yet the idea isn’t that insane. Pay TV operators in Latin America have already battled against all of the obstacles that Netflix is just starting to dabble in. Service penetration has grown at high speed and they are the sole conductors to an entire ABC1 demo - the same demo Netflix will target. In fact, siding up with operators might even be the only alternative to settle the US company’s efforts in the region, taking advantage of pre-existing platforms that have already gone through the hassle. But the big question is whether these pay TV operators would be willing to let Google merge its own platform into their set-top boxes, making their own content compete with other sources, such as Netflix and the internet as a whole. This scenario is unlikely in the US. Yet if operators in Latin America are already thinking about combining Netflix into their own packages in order to defend themselves from its future success… why not? ttv

Chile, Peru: Committed to Original Production Broadcast TV grids in Chile and Peru have now started to focus on locally-produced content, a trend that has spread across several Latin American countries including Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador.

The Successful Mr. and Mrs. Pells Frecuencia Latina
In August, networks started to update their grids once again. The first premiere was ‘La Perricholi’, an ambitious adaptation set in the 1760s about famous characters in Peruvian history. The show launched August 8 at 9:00 PM primetime and airs Mondays through Fridays on America TV.
The network has doubled its number of original productions and has launched several new shows during 2011. “We have grown from US$65 million in 2003 to close to US$300 million in original productions for 2011,” Eric Jurgensen, general manager of América TV, told ttv during the latest

Los Angeles screenings held in May this year. ‘La Perricholi’ by production company Chroma Producciones replaced ‘El Triunfo del Amor’. This is a good example of how original productions are gaining spaces on broadcast TV, in this case to replace a telenovela. Frecuencia Latina is competing in the 9:00 PM timeslot with its adaption of Argentine format ‘Lalola’ by production house Imizi Producciones, which is also responsible for adapting ‘Los Exitosos Gome$’ (original version of ‘The Successful Mr. And Mrs. Pells’). The network has achieved great success by choosing unusual products to air in the local market. The strategy has been very fruitful for the network which has, for instance, sold ‘Los Exitosos Gome$’ to network Telemundo for the US Hispanic market. This is a further collateral effect of the original production phenomenon: international sales. Channel 2 also launched a show to compete with ‘Lalola’. It is another local production featuring different stories around Peru’s local grocery store or ‘La Bodeguita’, as they are known in Peru. This new production is the result of a co-production between the network and Mindshare Peru and also airs at 9:00 PM.
54/TTV PREVIEW
In this way, Peruvian TV is showing two production models: one following expensive historical production standards and another one based on the flexibility of custom-made content. At an international level, several of the aforementioned productions -such as ‘La Perricholi’, ‘La Bodeguita’ or ‘Los Exitosos Gome$’- are distributed by Frecuencia Latina under the lead of Miki Ivcher. CHILE: ORIGINAL PRODUCTION AT THE TOP OF ITS GAME. The Chilean market stands out as one of the most active markets in TV ad spending, number of premieres and local productions. This reality clashes with the high risks that networks undertake with their programming strategies and an economic
landscape that shows an even distribution of advertising resources. First class formats, news shows or fiction productions: there is a place for every genre in Chile’s broadcast TV grids. With 17.6% of audience share, Chilevisión rises as the leading broadcast TV network so far. The network is defined by its constant search for new products -such as the network’s co-production with Mori Producciones ‘Karma’, which airs at 11:30 PM- and its unquestionable audience leadership with hits like its primetime news show. Its grid features journalistic shows (a genre that is definitely important for the local audience), formats such as ‘Talento Chileno’ (based on the FremantleMedia original ‘Got Talent’) and TV films like ‘Infieles’, a comedy show that airs Thursdays at 10:00 PM and has been sold to the Televisa Networks pay TV channel Golden. Joining Chilevision in the top three are Mega and Channel 13. Mega is famous among Chilean viewers for its wide range of formats, docu-reality shows and on-set programs. Such is the case of Endemol’s Wednesday show ‘Yo soy…’, as well as ‘133: Atrapados por la realidad’ -a docu-reality show that follows Chilean policemen in duty- and ‘Secreto a Voces’, a talkshow that has captivated audiences on Thursday nights. Channel 13 offers formats such as ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?’ and new productions like ‘Peleles’, which premiered on July 26 at 10:25 PM. This production -represented in the global market by Latin Media Corporation- is the first TV series that the network produced for its audience. Next on the ranking is TVN which, despite its fourth place in terms of audience, has been responsible for major productions as well. This is the case of ‘Témpano’, a telenovela released in May that already has an exclusive web prequel that was launched on August 2. Represented by Telemundo Internacional, TVN is very strong worldwide, selling both its original products and formats. That has been, for example, the case of ‘Missing’. ttv

Brazil After PL 116 CONTROVERSIAL BILL PL 116 FINALLY PASSED THE SENATE AND, AT PRESS TIME, WAITS FOR PRESIDENT DILMA ROUSSEFF’S SIGNATURE TO BECOME LAW. So what can the Brazilian pay TV market expect now?
By Stephanie Biscomb Twitter: @sbiscomb sbiscomb@todotv.tv
T 58/TTV PREVIEW
he PL 116 bill -previously known as the PL 29- was finally passed unchanged by the Brazilian Senate in August. Once sanctioned, the law will open the Brazilian pay TV market to telcos and establish local programming quotas con pay TV channels.
The most controversial was definitely the one It took four years for the bill to finally end its cycle establishing programming quotas for both local and international channels, through the Brazilian congress. which will now need to include Now, at press time, all that’s left “It is hard to imagine three and a half hours of local is for President Dilma Rousseff to that a solid, growing and content within their grids. This sanction it. Yet she still holds the power to veto any articles she profitable market like this disposition even managed to divide the country’s pay deems unfit, especially those one could be somehow TV market, with several that most agitated public debate damaged by the PL 116.” international programmers during the bill’s four years of life.
Telcos: The Main Beneficiaries
Yet the odds of vetoing this particular resolution are very slim. An article that really holds the risk of being shunned is Article 5, which says that no operator will be able to program or produce content if more than 30% of its capital is in foreign hands. Even though the bill allows foreign telcos to completely own

-such as HBO, FOX and Viacom- quitting the Brazilian Pay TV Association (ABTA) after it publicly supported the bill.
Telcos also play a role among this controversy starring programmers, opposition and government and they are actually the ones who benefit the most from the opening of the Brazilian pay TV market. TIM is an exemplary case. After publicly declaring that it would probably venture into the pay TV market if the bill was enacted, its commercial director, Lorenzo Lindner announced that the company is already negotiating deals with content providers to make this come true. According to Reuters, the service would be ready to be launched into the market in 2012. And following reports by Dataxis NexTV, TIM would be the second most powerful telco in Brazil, above Claro and below Net. Another player that has already announced it will break into the pay TV market is GVT, which will launch a hybrid DTH/IPTV product. Meanwhile, Oi will resume its IPTV project.

national companies, only operators with at least 70% of ownership in Brazilian hands will be able to produce or program content of their own. The law also names ANCINE (National Cinema Agency) -jointly with ANATEL (National Telecommunications Agency)- in charge of supervising and controlling that the law is duly followed by everyone involved. These two bodies will have to work their way with operators, programmers and telcos to agree on a common interpretation that will later be put into practice by industry players. The opposition considers that giving the association such a responsibility is unconstitutional and the President could, in fact, agree. A CHANGING LANDSCAPE. Now, instead of politicians, businesspeople and regulators will be putting the law under scrutiny, seeking to change those sections that sound less convincing for industry shareholders. The hardest part of all will definitely be to get programmers to work with operators once again. The ABTA is well-aware of this. After giving its public support to the bill, it will have to tempt foreign programmers back into the association, with negotiations that promise post-enactment changes. And this seems like the most likely scenario: a law sanctioned with no changes whatsoever that will give way to a plethora of appeals and initiatives to change some of its articles, each initiated by a different industry player.
AN UNCHANGED FUTURE. It is also likely that the Brazilian market will see a number of acquisitions and control transfers under the new law. The first one in line involves none others than Embratel and Net Serviços. Embratel already owns 49% of Net Servicios and will probably increase its stake once the PL 116 is finally sanctioned by the Executive. A further key example is Telefónica and TVA, a business deal that has been in talks for years and will probably become reality once the law allows it. Additional consequences will also follow. Telecommunications company Tim, for instance, has already announced the launch of its own pay TV service. Many carriers have already announced that the new law will cause the price of its basic package to rise, largely due to programmers’ disagreement with fixed content quotas. The loudest voice against the bill has been Sky, which has declared the new law “unconstitutional” and said it will do whatever it is in its power to change the situation. Even though rules might be changing, nothing shows that the business will as well. In fact, nothing seems to point out that new, really strong players will break into the business (apart from GVT, owned by Vivendi). It is hard to imagine that a solid, growing and profitable market like this one could be somehow damaged by the PL 116. ttv
60/TTV PREVIEW
Independents Want the Law The PL 116 bill was still raising opponents and defenders all across the TV and telecommunications industry as this edition closed. During the first week of September, three different bodies representing Brazilian independent production companies submitted a letter to President Dilma Rousseff asking her to enact the PLC 116 as is. The Independent Association of TV Producers (ABPI-TV), the Audiovisual Industry Union of Sao Paulo (SIASPEP) and the Association of Commercial Production Companies (APRO) refuted the argument that claims the bill unconstitutional, proposed last week by the Association of International Programmers (TAP). The latter also wrote to the president asking her to veto some of the bill’s sections. Yet producers still approve of the national production quotas established by the law, arguing that it protects the work of local professionals, something that has been previously done in countries like the US, France, England, Germany, Canada and other countries in South America, such as Argentina, the letter reads.

Nordic Wild (4 x 60’ HD) At the northernmost reaches of the world, a vast and ancient wilderness plays host to nature’s most spectacular wildlife. For the first time, this series offers a comprehensive overview of the wild beauty of the far North. It tells complex animal stories, follows the family life of musk ox and bear, and shows intimate pictures in the dens of lemming and Arctic fox and dizzying footage of breeding cliffs shared by thousands of seabirds. We also witness magical moments of its rare native species.
A series based on real events, which reconstructs the most impressive female criminal cases. What’s the difference between men and women who kill? Women don’t stab once, they stab until they run out of strength. Those who believe that women are the “fair sex”, will undoubtedly change their minds once they are acquainted with the real stories reconstructed in these miniseries. They won’t go back on their steps. Domestic violence, abuse, lovers, greed and unlimited ambition are some of the reasons that will push these women into unleashing their fury on their husbands, couples or friends. Some are mentally ill, some others act intentionally. For most of them things will get out of hand and they will end up in mental hospitals, or in prison. The main characters of this series may have little in common; however, all of them have a yearning desire: a better life.
