  • A majority (58%) of heavy engagers -- i.e., consumers who share related thoughts via social networks at least 10 times a week -- report watching more live TV, according to an iModerate Research Technologies study.
  • Among some 150 males and females who engage in what Rossow calls “social TV” at least once a week, the emerging behavior has also made these viewers into more active consumers and influencers.
  • An increasing number of viewers also "love the social interaction and frequently add shows to their viewing lineup due to social chatter,” Rossow notes. “That adds up to more time spent on social networks and more hours watching television.”

  • If done right, “casting” just might be the “killer” app the second screen world has been looking for.
  • The report pinpoints which apps are resonating with consumers (and why), and focuses on the new role “casting” content is playing in the second screen ecosystem.
  • “However, we also noted several apps — including Amazon Instant Video, M-Go, and several TV Everywhere services — that currently have no identifiable casting experience,” said Chuck Parker, chairman of the 2nd Screen Society.

  • Still, you might say a revolution is brewing in the living room — and this one will be televised. It portends not only a change in the TV viewing experience but also poses a threat to cable and satellite TV distributors. Even network executives' notions about scheduling — how positioning a new show adjacent to a popular program in the evening lineup to drive ratings — look anachronistic at a time when Nielsen estimates that 47% of all American households have DVRs and can watch recorded shows whenever they choose, and 55% of broadband homes have at least one TV connected to the Internet, according to market researcher the Diffusion Group.
  • Concerns about how to reach this group known as the "never connecteds" and count their viewing in a show's ratings adds to a list of headaches that include slumping prime-time broadcast TV ratings and the flight of advertisers to cable.

  • "We're in a golden era of television. Never in the history of the media has so much money been spent producing high-quality content," said Eric Huggers, general manager of Intel Media, expressing a broad consensus. "If you look at the technology that is used to deliver that, it feels stuck in the past. We think we need to put the technology on a par with the quality of the editorial."
  • "This is going to be the first true cable TV replacement service delivered over broadband," said Michael Greeson, president of the Texas-based media research firm the Diffusion Group. "It's going to tell us so much about the television industry and what relationships have been bent or broken in terms of [Intel] being able to bring first-run content ... as opposed to delayed, on-demand."

  • Among the most common is shopping for a product seen in an ad, by 19.4% of TV watchers who engage in second-screen activities.
  • That’s behind only learning about an actor/actress (29.8%) and learning about the show/movie (23.1%). The researchers note that shopping for products is most prevalent among laptop users and consumers in the 35-49 age group, and that “converting viewers into impulse shoppers has big potential impact for advertisers.”
  • Not too far behind the top tier of activities is discussing a show on a social networking site, cited by 14.8% of respondents. That’s a figure worth watching closely – as social TV has the potential to increase engagement. A just-released neuroscience study from MEC and Channel Seven in Australia discovered that interacting with social media while watching TV drove a 9% increase in program engagement among study participants, and that second-screen interaction aided recall of specific elements of the broadcast.

  • top Nielsen executive says the media ratings giant has begun working with its clients to “redefine” the very nature of the households it measures. The reason, Pat McDonough, senior vice president-insight and analytics at Nielsen, said Monday during the opening session of the Advertising Research Foundation’s annual Audience Measurement conference in New York, is that Americans increasingly are accessing video programming from non-traditional devices and in non-traditional ways.
  • Of the 6.3% of household video consumption that takes place, McDonough said about 3% each currently is being done either online or via mobile devices, and that other devices like video game consoles are rising fast. She said other big trends are the aging and the multicultural diversification of American households -- but despite all those trends, Americans are watching more video programming than ever before: an average of 35 hours per week.
  • “We are spending more time watching video than we are working,” McDonough added, alluding to average U.S. labor estimates.

  • Twitter could be much better than Facebook in certain businesses, and it might be able to make a huge amount of money in that business.
  • TV is still the most important player in the advertising industry. The format has an important cultural importance, and it still brings in far more money than Internet video. That is not going to change any time soon according to research, and that will negatively effect Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) as it tries to move into video ads. Twitter has a way around the trend, however.
  • TV changes Twitter, Twitter changes TV When a really popular show is on television, the buzz is palpable on the social network. Twitter has noticed and it has begun to push some of its advertising in that direction. The company is planning on launching a TV recommendation service in the months ahead that will add to the perceived relationship between the social network and television in the mind of consumers.

    How advertisers can plan for TV and Twitter There are three levels of integration between TV and Twitter activity depending on a brand's market and aims:  Integration: where a TV campaign is planned and executed with specific Twitter content and activity built in and around it from the outset Anticipation: being more thoughtful of how Twitter and TV will work together in a brand strategy.  Brands need to plan ahead for TV moments and prepare content to take advantage of it.  They need to include hashtags on their TV ads but have a clear purpose to them - e.g. driving people to a Promoted Trend to find out more information about a product and move consumers along the purchase journey Association: at the simplest level, if a brand is not advertising on TV, it can still be associated with it as its customers will be watching TV and there is an opportunity to contribute

  • While brand marketers are enthusiastic about trying to engage second-screen viewers, much of their focus right now is on Facebook and Twitter rather than standalone second-screen apps.
  • As a result, these apps are looking to reposition themselves to attract more use and brands
  • The idea is to provide users with an experience that they can engage with throughout the day related to their favorite TV shows, whether they want to catch up on the latest gossip about a show, chat about the latest episode or engage with the app while watching a show.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • “From Millward Brown’s 2014 AdReaction report, we see that, on average, multiscreen users in the US ages 16 to 45 spend 68 minutes using a smartphone while watching TV, and 24 minutes using a tablet while watching TV,” she said. “These numbers suggest the ability of a novel app, with a good user experience, to command a lot of time and attention from multiscreen audiences.
  • “Furthermore, the interactivity that could be offered by second screen apps is also something that resonates with audiences. The key is that second screen apps have to make the second screen experience easy and related and plug in to the content on the first screen rather than just the advertising.”
  • Overall, second screen experiences appear to be moving away from check-ins in a reflection of how viewers are increasingly watching multiple episodes of a show in one sitting. In fact, the least favorite activities for second-screen viewers are using an app to identify music on a TV show being watched (15 percent) and checking in to a TV program via an app (12 percent).
  • In comparison, 32 percent browse the Web for information about what they are watching on TV, 25 percent research products seen on TV, 21 percent chat with friends about a show, 20 percent post status updates, 18 percent visit a show's Web site.
