  • The new service, which could launch in the coming months, likely will feature original series and may include licensed programming, these people said. As part of the project, Amazon has held talks with the creators of "Betas," a series about a Silicon Valley startup that Amazon produced last year for Prime, these people said.
  • The new data Amazon collects about viewers' television or music preferences could allow it to deliver more targeted advertising, including for products available on its retail website. Think Adidas shoe ads alongside Run-D.M.C.'s "MyAdidas" music video.

  • traditional scheduled TV is limited by what he called the "tyranny of the grid," or the 21 hours of prime-time programming that get the most viewers. Anything that doesn't fit into that grid gets thrown out
  • In contrast, internet TV allows audiences to aggregate over time and space, and can afford to curate content that has smaller audiences at any one time.
  • Netflix originals don't need to be 48 minutes long to fit into a prime-time schedule, and don't need to force cliffhangers that keep viewers in suspense for the next episode, because viewers can "binge" into the next episode right away.

  • Netflix is using its massive collection of consumer data to learn what users want to see and generate personalized recommendations for everyone.
  • In a more personalized, unbundled world, advertising would also need to evolve. "Internet TV is divorced of the need of advertising revenue because we can develop direct relationships with the consumer," Mr. Hunt said, calling the subscription, ad-free model is very popular with consumers.
  • Marketers will "need to find a different place to advertise,"
  • he same technology that lets Netflix personalize recommendations could also allow streaming services to select the right commercial for the right consumer. This would mean viewers see fewer, but more relevant ads, and marketers would be better able to target very specific consumers.

  • “By defining the services as cable companies, they provide a path to finally change the way consumers get their television and cut the cord without losing out on key programming,” he said.
  • Mr. David pointed out that by classifying Aereo as a cable company the court in effect overturned a previous decision which outlawed a similar service called Ivi. Ivi delivered broadcast television over the Internet and sort to pay a minimal royalty fee for the privilege.
  • The court at that time said that Ivi was not a cable company. Mr. David said that FilmOn is finalizing the certification process for qualification for this fee and that the company will soon be able to provide local network TV service in the 18 cities it is active in.

  • Intel will be launching a Web TV service sometime this year.
  • The service requires purchasing a new box (the name of which is yet to be announced), which Huggers says is needed to deliver “the full experience” Intel wants.
  • Intel won’t be offering “a la carte” programming, either. In other words, expect bundles of programming like those offered with other major TV packages.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Perhaps the biggest marketing point is also Intel’s most difficult sell: The built-in camera that comes with Intel’s new mystery box. It watches your movements and TV viewing habits with the aim of personalizing the way your household watches television — not to mention being much more helpful to those in the ad biz doing the targeting.

  • networks for years have complained that total viewing of their shows isn't being captured by traditional ratings measurements. This is a move to correct that.
  • decision to expand beyond traditional TV ratings measurement came out of a meeting in New York on Tuesday of the What Nielsen Measures Committee, a group that has been meeting for nearly a year.
  • By September 2013, when the next TV season begins, Nielsen expects to have in place new hardware and software tools in the nearly 23,000 TV homes it samples. Those measurement systems will capture viewership not just from the 75 percent of homes that rely on cable, satellite and over the air broadcasts but also viewing via devices that deliver video from streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon, from so-called over-the-top services and from TV enabled game systems like the X-Box and PlayStation.

  • Apple TV is reportedly developing ad-skipping technology so owners of a set-top box can watch shows commercial-free. The propsed deal with cable companies would reimburse programmers for skipped ads.
  • Google is really just hoping to beat Apple to the punch, despite the fact that the company already has its Apple TV streaming product on the market, according to The New York Times "Apple’s thinking… is that any next-generation television service must be set up in partnership with existing distributors, in part for quality assurance reasons. A future Apple service could include a user-friendly interface layered on top of Time Warner Cable or Cablevision’s channel lineup."
  • Adoption from the major networks is "very unlikely to support any service with their linear feed that allows for commercial messages to be skipped even if they get some form of compensation," Rino Scanzoni, chief investment officer for WPP's GroupM, told AdAge. "This is not a viable economic model and subscribers to the system would not pay an adequate premium to compensate for it."

  • However, Forbes points out the longer-term effect. “Cable companies get paid for the ads that consumers are no longer watching. Since ad rates are determined by eyeball counts, those rates will decline as more viewers opted-out, so cable companies will need to figure out new ways to make money.”

shared by Carri Bugbee on 15 Nov 13 - No Cached
  • ost people currently prefer to watch “must-see TV” at the time of broadcast, the signs are that this will soon change.
  • But there are strong pointers to a not-too-distant future where time-shifting is the default behaviour for most viewers, most of the time, and live viewing is mainly reserved for event TV.
  • On-demand is seen more as a catch-up facility, with 70 per cent of on-demand users claiming they only use on-demand services to catch up on programmes they have missed. In addition, the availability of on-demand services on other screens is key to many, with 47 per cent of on-demand users stating that they often use on-demand services to watch programmes when they are not in front of a TV set.

  • PVRs are seen as more convenient and reliable than on-demand TV viewing.
  • The social opportunity to “media-mesh” with live content is also a factor that will surely continue to influence viewing choices.
