Back to Basics What’s the next big format going to be? Which is the new “it” platform? What’s the best way to monetize an audience? As the entertainment industry focuses on designing the best new business model, sometimes the true core of it all gets bypassed.

to your broadcasting partner or your consumer platform, that is going to engage the customer whether on the first or second screen. I think you need to be conscious of those changes. Really look at TV or properties as an opportunity to build brands, things consumers can connect with and want to connect with through multiple platforms. And you need to take as many opportunities to connect with that consumer as you possibly can. That means providing additional and exclusive content.
As an experienced player, what do you think will be the next big trend in 2013? I don’t know if there’s going to be one big trend. People are watching more content than they ever have before. I think that trend is going to continue for some time and it’s really about the availability: the ease of access, the touch points. The multiscreen will continue to give producers internationally and domestically, through co-production models, more opportunities than they’ve ever had before. I think it’s really a golden age for television, it’s a really exciting time to be in the TV and production business. I do think you’re going to see more consumer choice in certain territories, the world is a complex place if you look at it by market, in one market you could have digital exploitation of our content, different types of screen, online platforms, VOD platforms, Netflix or Amazon and these new platforms that are popping up in certain territories; while some other territories are just starting to get new choices for the consumer. So there’s going to be exponential growth in some territories with new models. You’re going to see more growth in consumer platforms. With these new platforms and technologies, is it more complicated to design a production strategy? I think you need to take it back to the

How important are co-productions for eOne in today’s globalized business? It’s a big part of our business. We are quite good at putting together financial deals to help producers get their content developed. And then of course we have an international sales arm that can get that content onto the screen, which is what the producer ultimately wants to happen. So in order to get TV funded, you need to get productive from a production and financing standpoint, and co-production is a great way to do that. It also gives us the chance to partner with creative talents in different territories and bring them the advantages eOne has, which are relationships with broadcasters in North America, attractive opportunities in Canada and North America with tax credits, the Canadian Media Fund, etc; and tie those same producers into our financing model and our relationships with international broadcasters. So that co-production/co-financing
model is a real key to the goals and success of eOne.
Q&A ttvpreview “I think it goes back to content and how to produce it for a price that’s profitable in the buying chain and that is compelling for the consumer.” for the consumer? Of course there are, but I think it’s going to come back to TV sooner or later. Regardless how the content gets on the screen, people are going to be looking at a screen. Now, whether that content is linear in its transmition, where your using a device that lets you skip through commercials or whether it’s pre-selected programs targeted at a specific consumer, people are going to sit somewhere and look at a screen. That’s what it comes down to for me, that’s TV. It is a screen. It’s part of the household. And that won’t go away.

content level. If you produce compelling content, people are going to watch it and they will find it. At eOne we have a production and a distribution arm. Distribution is core to what we do. But what you have to remind yourself all the time is if you’re making compelling content and you have a proper distribution infrastructure -whether it’s on a digital platform, terrestrial, cable model, or whatever it is- people are going to find it. So first you need to focus on how to make compelling content that people want to watch; then you make sure that it’s on every single platform and device, so when they want to watch it they have access to it. So I really think it goes back to content and how to produce it for a price that’s profitable in the buying chain and that is compelling for the consumer. If you can crack that, I think success is pretty much guaranteed. Do you think mobile devices and online platforms will ultimately lead to the end of linear TV? I think TV will live on. Television is a fairly old concept. Viewership in some countries is at an alltime high. Are there going to be other alternatives
This year MIPTV is turning 50 and you’re one of the keynote speakers. How important do you think this market is for the industry? I think it’s a very important event. We’re at an age where it’s all about technology, but there’s nothing like sitting across from someone a seeing them in person. Our business is focused on content but really it’s a relationship business. There you get to know your customers, you get to know your producing partners. We do business with people that we connect with and like, and I think that builds better companies and better products, and ultimately a better business. So I think these gatherings are of paramount importance. You get to meet your peers and your colleagues and you also get to share ideas and see new and exciting things that staying in your office you don’t get to see. We attend the markets every year. It definitely makes a difference when it comes to business. What are your goals and expectations for the future of eOne? We want to increase the number of hours we’re producing. We want to increase our international footprint with more partnerships and co-productions in places like Europe. And we also want to continue the success we’ve seen in the US and take it to other markets like Latin America and Asia. ttv
50 YEARS OF MIPTV (1963 – 2013)

A Appointment This year marks the first five decades of the traditional tradeshow held annually at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes. As part of the celebration, ttv shares some of the event’s history through its main characters, stories and anecdotes of this unique market, WHERE BUSINESS MEETS GLAMOUR. By Sebastián Amoroso

ocuments and history say that back in 1963 the founder of the MIDEM organization, Bernard Chevry, launched the Marché International des Programmes de Télévision (MIPTV for its French acronym) in the city of Lyon, France, with the presence of close to 300 attendees. In 1965, the year after the Office de Radiodiffusion Télévision Française (ORTF for its
French acronym), the organizers decided to move MIPTV to the Côte d’Azur (French Riviera), to host it at the “old” Palais des Festivals, in the Cannes shore. Back then there wasn’t enough content to commercialize internationally, but MIPTV was a key opportunity for those executives in the TV business to gather for three days at one event. “It was a truly visionary event, because

at the time the business wasn’t international. In many ways, MIPTV created the international market as we know it today,” said Laurine Garaude, director of the Television Division at MIPTV. (Full interview on page 39). “I was reading the original catalog from the 1960s, and back then the conversation was all about color TV, it was the new technology. That was the new thing, and we discussed how we would adapt to it,” Garaude said. Shortly after, MIPTV began to consolidate as an audiovisual content market focused on programming distribution, attended by hundreds of executives from all areas of the business and the world. From producers, to broadcasters, distributors, and many others. As the years went by, the tradeshow became more sophisticated and glamour took over the halls at the Palais des Festivals, as well as the hotels in the Croisette such as the Majestic Barrière, Le Grand Hotèl, the JW Marriot or the Hotel Martinez.
In 1979, Latin America’s flagship TV genre was established worldwide. Mexican telenovela ‘Los Ricos También Lloran’ (‘The Rich Also Cry’) by Televisa was distributed in Russia, China and the US, among other
“When we first attended MIPTV in 1979, there were very few European production companies offering their products and the event took place in the old Palais,” said Marcel Vinay Hill, VP of International Sales at Comarex. “In the following years, MIPTV grew and you could find stands even in the stairway; until the new Palais was built,” he added. In August 1981, US music network MTV made its debut on the country’s pay TV, broadcasting 24 hours of music videos every day, starting a revolution in the industry. One year later in 1982, boxer Mohamed Ali (a.k.a. Cassius Clay) visited the Palais des Festivals. “In the stairs of the old Palais in 1982, a Belgium company said that in the next few months they were to produce an animated series with a blue character. I remember seeing a stuffed animal in a toy store in the US of one of those characters. So I decided to buy the entire series for all of Latin America including the feature films, and named it ‘The Smurfs’,” said Vinay Hill. One year later, Commmander Jacques-Yves Cousteau received the ETMA Trophee, and in 1984 the ETMA gala was held, featuring Canadian singer Céline Dion. The tradeshow was shaken up in 1985 with the presence of the beautiful Claudia Cardinale. That same year, the MIPCOM trades-

While in 1987, the animated series ‘The Simpsons’ -created by Matt Groening- made its debut in a segment within ‘The Tracey Ullman Show’, Cannes saw the launch of the French culture network Le Sept. The following year, the star of ‘Star Trek’, Patrick Stewart, arrived at MIPTV.

ALL ABOUT THE KIDS
As the nineties rolled in, US writer Mary Higgins Clark held a press conference in 1992 in Cannes, while German entrepreneur Léo Kirch celebrated the BETA and actor Roger Moore traveled down the Croisette Boulevard. Two years later, ‘Friends’ made its TV debut and Sarah Fergusson, the Duchess of New York made her way through the halls of the Palais des Festivals.
As the new century came about, in July 2000 ‘Big Brother’ made its debut on CBS and Channel 4, and actor Roger Moore made its way to MIPTV in 2001 as part of UNICEF’s first ‘Say Yes to Children’ program. In 2004, the First China Day was hosted in Cannes, attended by the official delegation of the SARFT (State Administration of Radio, Film and Television) from China, and MIPTV became the go-to international event for the Chinese TV industry. In the same decade in which Chad Hurley, Steve Chen and Jawed Karim created and launched YouTube; photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand received the MIPTV Green World Award in 2007. One year after that, actress Shirley MacLaine presented her TV movie ‘Coco Chanel’, and actor Sam Neil promoted the miniseries ‘Iron Road’. MIPFormats was launched in 2010, and the next year Arnold Schwarzenegger announced the production of his animated series ‘The Governator’ which never came through. And in 2012, MIPCube and LeWeb joined the Reed MIDEM organization. This year over 11,500 professionals from more than 100 countries attended the event, proving that MIPTV not only gathers TV providers, but also evolves along with the technological evolution and extends across all platforms. ttv

If you want to get into Brazil, you have to forge partnerships. In the following report, ttv reviews the frequent ways to reach international co-productions, taking advantage of the incentives of one of the world’s fastest growing TV markets.

ith many global eyes looking to Brazil as a thriving source of business opportunities, the Brazilian companies are also in a moment of wanting to take their creations and ideas to the global arena.

With these game rules in mind, there are many ways of reaching international content partnerships. National collaboration agreements are certainly one item to consider, and the Canadian case study is a good start. THE COLLABORATIVE CULTURE. Canada may be arguably one of the main sources of co-production partners in the world, and this is due to a cultural reason. “As a nation, we’re a little under the radar in terms of our visibility, but that also gives us a very strong ability to collaborate. We could in collaborate in a Europe, in the UK, in France or in the US,” says Kevin Sullivan, CEO of Canada’s production and distribution company Sullivan Entertainment.

In 2012-2013, Ancine is devoting over US$ 27.6 million to TV series (90%) and documentaries (10%).

Other Canadian executives, such as Stéphane Cardin, VP of Industry and Public Affairs for the Canada Media Fund (CMF) would add Brazil in that list. “We firmly believe Canada-Brazil co-productions are poised to grow. Why? First, there are the recent changes to the Pay TV laws in Brazil, which we understand will provide a significant boost to the Brazilian independent production sector. But mostly, recent studies like comScore’s 2012 Brazil Digital Future in Focus, point to tremendous new opportunities in the field of digital media. Brazil now ranks as the world’s 7th largest internet user base, with over 46 million users (that’s more than Canada’s entire population), and growing at 16 % annually,” he explains.

However, it’s true that Brazil’s current momentum has positively changed each of these companies’ perspectives in this territory. “What we have not done yet is take all of that content to a much larger audience, and I hope we, at Cartoon Network and Boomerang, can do it. It is just a matter of continuously showing our colleagues in the US, Western Europe and Asia original productions coming from Latin America,” said Barry Koch, SVP and general manager at Cartoon Network and Boomerang for Latin America, two years ago.
32/TTV PREVIEW
At that moment, Koch was foreseeing the LatAm content wave: international companies were starting to change their perspectives about the region, which stopped being just a receiver and adapter of content from the North, to turn into a generator of exportable ideas. For Cartoon Network, this process started crystallizing in July 2012, when it announced its first original animated series in the region: Copa Studio’s ‘Irmão do Jorel’, which had won a Forum Brazil pitching session in 2009 and will now be aired pan-regionally - and most likely worldwide. But maybe the company that has best interpreted the advantages of producing from Brazil to the world has been HBO. Since its first original production in Brazil in 2005, ‘Mandrake’, the programmer hasn’t stopped generating content, working closely with many independent producers such as 02 Filmes, Casa de Cinema, Pindorama Filmes, Prodigo Filmes, Mixer and Conspiração Filmes. “After eight years working in major markets, HBO LAG has a know-how of this industry to produce the type of projects HBO needs, and we feel very
comfortable working with production companies in Latin America,” Luis Peraza, VP of Acquisitions and Original Production at HBO LAG, who heads the process. INCENTIVES. One the one hand, it’s a thriving economy with avid consumers. On the other, the government is committed to the internationalization of the local content through a system of incentives for production. In this regard, Brazil’s National Film Agency (Ancine) is now devoting 55 million reales (US$ 27.6 million) to TV series (90%) and documentaries (10%). “Thanks to all the players who paid on time what was demanded by the Condecine (National Film Industry Development Committee), over 819 million reales (some US$ 412 million) were raised, 400 million (some US$ 201 million) of which will be devoted to financing projects in 2012,” said Manoel Rangel, Ancine’s president, after the new law went in force. As part of the recent -and continuing- changes in the sector’s regulation, a few months ago Ancine published the Normative Instruction 106, which established the terms and conditions international co-productions must abide by when produced in Brazil. According to the new regulation, international co-productions entail a Brazilian company’s association with a foreign producer, while also stating in case there isn’t a co-production deal signed between both countries, at least 40% of the production’s rights must be owned by the Brazilian company. In addition, two thirds of the cast and crew must be Brazilian citizens or residents, and the production doesn’t necessarily have to be produced in Portuguese. Prior to this regulation, Brazilian co-production rules were scattered in different articles. As of now, Ancine will regulate all co-productions. “Given that projects co-produced under international agreements are considered national products in both countries; they enjoy the benefits offered by both governments, such as tax-reduction and distribution in the local film industry,” said Rangel. ttv

RioContentM February 20-22, Windsor Barra Hotel, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil To those new to the RioContentMarket who wish to know what type of event it is, there’s one thing to say: it’s the largest international content and production market in Latin America. Finland, Canada, France and England were the national delegations present at the event, with important activity from the last two, featuring their own jam-packed business rooms. It’s safe to say the RioContentMarket blew up in 2013, providing an enriching experience to most attendees, among which there were producers, programmers, networks, distributors and pay TV and telco operators. With small fixes here and there, an even bigger and better edition is to be expected in 2014, continuing a current trend of having all eyes in the business looking south.

Interview ttvpreview
A Social Affair The entertainment industry moves on personal relationships, and since opening its doors in 1963 the MIPTV international market has been the place where the entire TV ecosystem has come together in Cannes, France, to forge new partnerships and deals. In the year of its 50th anniversary, the agenda is full and expectations are high: it’s time to celebrate. By Carolina Mussio Twitter: @carolinamussio cmussio@todotv.tv
38/TTV PREVIEW
Founded in 1963 in France as an annual international market and creative forum focused on audiovisual content on every screen, MIPTV has evolved relentlessly over the past 50 years, shaped by an unstoppable technological evolution that continues to transform the way we experience entertainment. And, as it approaches its 50th anniversary, the event shows no signs of aging, presenting a full agenda jam-packed with special conferences, screenings and celebrations to commemorate this important milestone.
C
atching up on our favorite TV series on our phones as we commute to work on a regular basis, it’s hard to wrap our minds around how much technology has actually transformed our world in just a few years. “I was reading the original catalog from the 1960s, and back then the conversation was all about color TV,” Laurine Garaude, director of Reed MIDEM’s Television Division said to ttv. Farfetched, isn’t it?
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BUSINESS. Professionals from the global TV and online content industry flock to Cannes every year, attracted by the business opportunities presented by MIPTV. But, along with the cold and somewhat serious side of the industry, there’s one thing that’s always present at the event, and has been so since the very beginning. “There’s something that I hear a lot and people always say. People talk about the ‘passion for the industry’,” she explained. “The technology changes; there are new things coming up all the time. Business models change;

ned. “Former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown will be hosting this event which will bring a number of very important people from around the world. So that’s big.”
40/TTV PREVIEW
Moreover, staying on top of the latest trends and main topics on the table, the event can’t celebrate its 50 years as a focus point in the entertainment industry, without paying special attention to the latest in technology and innovation. To this end, the organization is presenting MIPCube, a lab where experts and pioneers come together to shape the future of TV: “This year MIPCube is within MIPTV, at the same time. So this event is very much about connecting different people as well as highlighting innovation with things we put in the pallet.” According to the executive, the event will feature screenings, demos and talks about the main themes that were selected for MIPCube this year, which is the knowledge of users: “It’s looking at creating engaging content and monetization, but all around an audience that is now an interactive consumer. Seeing how that changes the way we create, how one engages with the audience and how we can monetize that audience. That is the main theme throughout our program.”
Yet, as new technologies modify the way the industry rolls, at the end of the day, it’s all about content. As Garaude explained, the main goal in everyone’s strategy is figuring out “how to make compelling content.” And, in today’s globalized business, the road to getting there is paved with co-productions. “We have a very important event on co-production, the co-production summit. We’ll have commissioners from around the world, talking about co-production,” she said. “In a way it’s a new trend, but if you go back in time you see that’s it’s not at all new. We also focused on co-productions in the 60s. We discussed international co-production, and today production is in a very modern way, very much the same as it was then: it’s how high quality content is created.” TOAST TO THE FUTURE. The inventor of the television, Philo T Farnsworth, originally saw his new medium as a tool to foster learning about one another and peace throughout the world. Now in its 50th year, MIPTV has played a major role in promoting this medium, acting as a gateway for industry players to make deals, forge partnerships and collectively grow the business across the globe. Half a century has come and gone, and here’s to the next 50 years. ttv

RATINGS
Spanish TV on the Rise With an average of 272 minutes per viewer (4 hours and 32 minutes), a new record was set in Spain this February as far as TV consumption goes, as stated in Barlovento Comunicación’s latest report. Results show an increasing trend in TV consumption in Spain, where the industry continues to grow at an astounding rate since 1992, when the first measurements were taken. Yet, the latest reports also show a decrease in the country’s ad spend on TV, which decreased 10% from 2011. The TV advertising market shrunk 19% in a year.The TV advertising market shrunk 19% in a year.
Held in February 2013, the RioContentMarket proved to be the largest international content and production market in Latin America. Its international profile was evident through the presence of Miami-based executives such as production executives Tatiana Rodríguez and Michelle Alberty from Viacom, Mariano Kon from A&E, and global production professionals like Bob Higgins of FremantleMedia or Jocelyn Hamilton from Canada’s Corus Entertainment, among many others. Finland, Canada, France and England were the national delegations present at the event, with important activity from the last two, complete with their own business rooms which were jam-packed throughout the three-day event. It’s safe to say the RioContentMarket blew up in 2013, providing an enriching experience to most attendees.

Ten Years Ahead
The head of UK independent producers explained why intellectual property is the key to international success, assured the Brazilian production sector is still “ten years behind” and explored the opportunities brought about by the new ways of consuming content.
By Sebastián Torterola Twitter: @storterola storterola@todotv.tv
T
he Producers Alliance for Cinema and Television (PACT) is the independent association that comprises 500 production companies from the UK. “PACT is the trade association of British television, feature film, children, animation and digital producers. We’re the largest independent sector in the world and arguably the most successful,” said John McVay, its chief executive.

And there’s one secret to achieve success in the content industry: to own intellectual property. “It’s not about subsidies or tax-credit. To compete in the global market you need creativity and intellectual property. You win in the market if you own your rights, something that Hollywood has known for a hundred years,” he explains.
Blue Rose All3Media
And it totally makes sense. This way, you can keep selling under new formats and new ways of distribution; you can license formats and scripts, etc. This strategy has positioned the UK as a privileged territory regarding content exports. “We’ve owned our intellectual property for ten years now, and we’ve seen a sector that in 2001 was worth about 800 million pounds is now worth 2.5 billion,” McVay explains.
John McVay,
Chief Executive, Producers Alliance for Cinema and Television (PACT)
“It’s not about subsidies or tax-credit. To compete in the global market you need creativity and intellectual property.” Thus, according to the executive, every market should have a strong community of independent producers, because it generates competition, creativity and global hits. For each country to have a globally competitive television industry, it’s necessary to achieve a balance between broadcasters owning everything and producers. “When producers own things they tend to be a lot better at exploiting it, because they get a reward. Broadcasters are very good at warehousing things and not exploiting them, because they don’t want the programs to appear anywhere else. And in a digital era where everything can be pirated or copied, if you warehouse content and don’t give it to the market, someone is going to steal it and no one makes any money. That’s a lesson we learnt 10 years ago in the UK and that’s why we’re the world’s second largest exporter,” McVay said.
control both content and audiencies, namely Globo, Record, Band and SBT. Attracted by this reality and also by the growing internationalization process lead by Brazil’s association of independent TV producers (ABPI-TV), back in February PACT was present in the third edition of the international tradeshow RioContentMarket. In its second time in Rio, the association had an own business room in the event completely dedicated to British companies. The executive explained the reasons that brought them there again.
PACT: WIDESPREAD PRESENCE John McVay also described which other international events the association is still to attend in 2013. “We are very active internationally; we have our own pavilion at MIPTV and Mipcom; we have events at Kidscreen, Realscreen, Natpe, Discop, TIF, Toronto, Singapore… Basically, where we see an opportunity we try and get the Brits there,” he says.

BRAZIL. That’s exactly the situation the Brazilian production sector is trying to change: the TV business in Brazil has been historically dominated by four main broadcasters who built media empires to
Interview ttvpreview “We see real opportunities coming about in this market over the next five years. For a number of reasons: one, we got our respective governments to introduce a go-production treaty. It’s an audiovisual co-production treaty, which, unlike agreements Brazil has with France and other countries involving film; this deal is fit for the digital age,” he explained. For the British association, the relationship with its colleagues from ABPI-TV as well as its presence in the country is totally strategic. “This is a long term strategy for us. We want to build relations so that when the co-production comes in, Brazilian and British producers can work together to produce content for the world market, not just for our own markets,” he adds. In this regard, Brazil turns out to be a good partner because of the mentioned bi-national treaty, but also because of the quotas of local content imposed by the new regulation. However, this is not enough, and PACT is up to contribute to accelerate this development of an international industry. “I would say, overall, that Brazil is ten years behind in terms of what you need to compete in the global market. The journey in Brazil is just starting and we want to help in that process. We bring IP and an understanding of the sector to the party, and we want to support our Brazilian colleagues at ABPI-TV as the Brazilian market develops,” he adds.

DIGITAL TRENDS. The executive also talked about the impact of the internet on viewers. Although “everyone predicted” it was going to be the end of television and make people watch less TV, he affir-
Oscar’s Oasis Cake Entertainment
med people are watching more television now in Europe than they’ve ever done. Instead, people are watching TV on triple screens and in devices that are interactive, which means creative and commercial opportunity for hit programs. “If you create a program that is popular on TV, you have lots of opportunities to develop an app, to drive people to an event, to sell merchandising, to involve them in your programming, to do back stories, to make them fans and consumers… not in a cheesy way, but in a way that’s got real added value.” He believes that is “creatively exciting” and “commercially lucrative,” and it brings branding opportunities. “You can expand your brands, and as soon as you do it, you’re then very interesting to big corporate brands, because suddenly you’ve got a community of people who may connect with their products and brands as well,” he explains. And to achieve this connection, integrity is a must. “Just because someone is watching something over the internet it doesn’t mean they switch their brain off. They may switch their brain of when they watch their cat being sick on YouTube; but they don’t when they’re watching long-form content. They still want to be entertained, and be treated as intelligent people,” McVay affirms. It’s not possible yet to say what will work and what won’t in terms of content for the future generations. “But I think you’re going to see an era of experimentation: people trying things out and learning,” he assures. Meanwhile, one of the keys for growth in the present is to expand internationally, mainly because of the situation in European television markets. “There is no growth in the market: the broadcasters can’t spend any more money, because they don’t have it. So once you’ve reached saturation in terms of the income you can get, if you want to grow your company you have to go international. Eight years ago we worked on moving our producers from only focusing on domestic buyers to become more international. So although we’re UK independent producers, a lot of the members are international independent producers.” ttv

Witches of East End
Lucia’s Secrets
(Teleserie – 75 x 45’ HD)
(Drama – 10 x 60’)
Based on Melissa de La Cruz’s best-selling novel, Witches of East End centers on the adventures Joanna Beauchamp and her two adult daughters, Freya and Ingrid, both of whom unknowingly are their family’s next generation of witches — who lead seemingly quiet, uneventful modern day lives in Long Island’s secluded seaside town of North Hampton. When one of the daughters becomes engaged to a young, wealthy newcomer, a series of events forces her mother to admit to her daughters that they are, in fact, powerful and immortal witches. This series stars Julia Ormond, Jenna Dewan-Tatum, Rachel Boston, Patrick Heusinger, Daniel DiTomasso, Nicholas Gonzalez, and Glenne Headly.
This action-packed series breaks away from the classic telenovela. Amnesia leaves Lucia with an unknown past and uncertain future as she navigates through life running from an unknown threat. She struggles with flashes of who she was – a ruthless arms dealer and killer - and who she wants to be. Struck by love, Lucia must first bury her horrid past before it destroys her promising future.

NEW PLATFORMS
Hitbliss Pays You to Watch Ads Mid-way between a transactional service such as Amazon and Vudu, and ad-based platforms like Hulu; streaming platform Hitbliss, launched on March in the US, presents an innovative model that promises to revolutionize the online content consumption business. Unlike the other services mentioned, Hitbliss offers a third way to access content that’s appealing to consumers, advertisers and content providers alike: acquiring series and movies through “virtual” money given in exchange for watching ads. Thus, each user can watch a series of commercials that will generate money, which is accumulated on a personal account that can then be used to access content. With movies from major studios, the new platform’s content offer is more than solid, especially considering it can be accessed for free.
NEW PLATFORMS
OTT Lifts Legacy Broadcasters In its “TMT Predictions 2013” report, the consultancy company assures over-the-top (OTT) is not a threat to traditional broadcasters, predicting that in 2013, in markets where they are available, 2 of the top 3 OTT services are likely to be provided by existing operators and distributors, surpassing pure plays. “Most viewers are likely to remain faithful to the broadcasters and programs they’ve watched in previous years, so long as those broadcasters continue to provide the programs that viewers like,” the report says. “Viewers will likely remain averse to new sources of content in 2013, due to the opportunity cost of taking time to watch a program they may not enjoy.”
