How social TV buzz really does move the ratings needle - 0 views

  • linear TV is not an even playing field. So it’s dangerous to conclude that a particularly buzzy TV show bombed in the ratings, and by extension, social media doesn’t influence viewership. Social TV’s influence complements TV but does not exceed it. If a show is buried on the schedule, it will likely fail regardless of the social TV ratings.
  • “TV binge-watching is a pandemic,” explains Slate. None of this viewing is considered — not to mention any DVR’d shows after 3 days — and viewers who discover shows via social media are often more inclined than the general population to watch in an unmeasured way
  • if you’re not investing in social, that silence doesn’t ensure you’ll stay at a ratings par, but that you’ll face an inevitable decline. If you’re not part of the conversation, if you’re absent from the social platforms where millions of TV viewers discover content — across all age groups on Facebook — then your mass media brands become less “mass” over time.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • In the end, we know that social TV buzz really does move the ratings needle, and by extension, it helps predict the success of a TV show. But we don’t know how much. It varies by show, by network, by circumstance. While it’s dangerous to assert that social media gets all the credit for a show’s success, it’s even more dangerous to claim that social media makes no mainstream ratings impact.

Social media driving repeat views but fails to draw new audiences | Rapid TV News - 0 views

  • The Talking Social TV study revealed that infrequent viewers are mainly influenced by off-line word-of-mouth, which can be five to ten times as effective as social media in reaching these potential viewers. Conversely, TV show promos were found potentially to be a distraction for regular viewers, repeaters in the nomenclature.
  • Fundamentally the CRE believed that demographics play a more important role than programme genre in explaining the role of social media on TV viewing. By genre, social media was found to play a stronger role for genres such as reality, sports and talk shows.
  • The survey also showed that for repeaters, the first encounters with offline word-of-mouth, or a one-to-one electronic communication such as an email or text, or a social-media communication, are related to higher viewing, while subsequent communications can have diminishing returns

Experts: Social Data Is Key to Measuring Television Success - 0 views

  • Seevibes created its own “Seevibes Score” — a composite score that consolidates data on market share, social impressions, loyalty levels, engagement rate, frequency, and level of response — to gauge how a show is performing socially. “The level of audience engagement with TV via social networks with television has surged by 500% year-after-year. This can make it difficult to compare broadcast numbers over time,” explains Maisonnave
  • “These social data points are giving us a new barometer for success or failure when we’re talking about engaging TV audiences,” says Youngling. “Content, both programmatic and advertorial, is now subject to an entirely new set of consumer-driven metrics. We talked about must-see TV back in the Seinfeld days, and now it’s evolving into the idea of must-comment TV.”
  • “Twitter didn’t have to train or persuade people to change their behavior,” says Bugbee of the network’s television chatter. “It just had to capitalize on what people were already doing. I think that’s why Twitter’s so powerful: it’s easy, it’s obvious, and it’s open.”

  • “There are calls to action in all sorts of programming that are encouraging people to get involved and continue the dialog with that programming,” says Youngling. “For brands, the data is really showing that it’s incredibly impactful and meaningful. When you give audiences the opportunity to interact, they will.”
  • “If shows don’t get good ratings they don’t stay on the air,” says Bugbee. “You see television encouraging social activity with hashtags on shows. Ostensibly, if I’m not watching Dancing with the Stars and I see a lot of posts from my friends who are talking about it, maybe I should tune in.”

  • Facebook has given Trendrr preliminary access to previously unanalyzed Facebook user engagement data on chatter relating to television content.
  • Our analysis reveals that there is a large amount of TV-related social activity on Facebook — in numbers approximately 5 times as large as that of all other social networks combined as measured by Trendrr.
  • Trendrr’s analysis of second-screen Facebook activity during one week in May** found that the volume of Facebook user engagement relating to television programming was 5 times as large as all other social networks combined. Activity related to broadcast television was 7 times as large, while activity linked to cable-television programming was 4.5 times as large as all other social networks combined. Second-screen activity levels on Facebook were particularly high among viewers of dramas and comedies.

  • Trendrr and Facebook are working on a public case study of TV-related Facebook activity as part of an effort to illustrate the full breadth of engagement on Facebook’s platforms. Ultimately, Trendrr hopes to begin incorporating this Facebook data into its Social TV Rankings charts.*

Social Media Is No Fad, Cautions Bowditch | TVNewsCheck.com - 1 views

  • “There is no way a journalist can be successful without social media,” he said. “Journalists now have to understand that broadcast is not always the primary delivery medium.”
  • social media is a growing part of the media landscape, including the fact that there are 1.3 billion Facebook users and 646 million Twitter users.
  • Bowditch added that stations will make a serious mistake if they try to integrate advertising into their social media reach. “How do you monetize social media?” he asked, rhetorically. “You don’t. As soon as you advertise … they turn it off and go to the next one.”

  • tations must recalibrate the way they think about how they put stories together, Bowditch said. Rather than focusing on creating a news story to fit a certain timeslot in a newscast rundown, they must shift to a “story-centric” model of news production and take advantage of their websites and social media posts where time is not a limiting factor, he said.

The Social-TV Connection That's Redefining Content Partnerships Online | ClickZ - 0 views

  • This strategy is sure to appeal to Millennials, a key audience for TV networks and social sites alike, but its logic runs deeper than chasing a behavioral trend. Blending TV with social media is like converting a stage play into improv. When content producers take direction from the audience, the results are dynamic and customized.
  • This phenomenon has particular import for the producers of content that has a long lead time and only airs once a week. In order to sustain its relevance, producers must ensure it appears current. That means supplementing TV shows with fresher, more frequent material that lives online, and inviting viewers to take part in its distribution.
  • Similarly, BuzzFeed introduced a program earlier this month called Social Tune In that aims to bridge the gap between online content and the TV screen. In collaboration with AMC Networks' comedy channel IFC, BuzzFeed has created BuzzFeed Blocks that are airing on Saturday nights.

MediaPost Publications At The ANA: Social TV Is 'New Media' 02/17/2012 - 0 views

  •  
    Certainly, the Super Bowl reflected brand interest in turning TV into a mosaic of simultaneous marketing events on different screens designed to engage consumers with brands and with each other. Coca-Cola's polar bears were in the beverage giant's TV spots, but they were simultaneously online during the game, commenting on the game and, in a meta-commentary, on their own ad. Tom Cunniff, VP and director of interactive communications at Combe Incorporated, asked if such multi-screen programs risk splitting people's attention across devices. McHugh agreed that the risk exists, but said that, if the central idea is engaging, it only deepens engagement and attention. "We have seen it; consumers are already fragmenting their attention. What social TV does is to bring the experience to life so we can capture consumer attention more." She argued that if the story is good and engaging, it will involve consumers, no matter how many screens are telling it.

The Future of Broadcast Media is Social - Brian Solis - 0 views

  • The Golden Triangle will one day soon engender a shared experience across the three screens, but for the meantime, a resurgence of crowd-powered demand for relevance and personalization is leading a groundswell of change and evolution within each medium.
  • The result of the social effect and the integrated social hooks inherent in today’s online networks will only inspire a genre of connectivity and interaction as programming will eventually feature creative triggers that engender desired responses and action. The same is true for any event, whether it’s on air, live, or on the big screen.
  • The water cooler or social effect is only one part of defining a more meaningful experience over time. It is culturally significant as it connects people around common interests in real-time all over the web using events as our participation hub and as our magnet for convergence.
