Page 3: Enhancing Local Content Development for Broadcasters in the Digital Ecosystem

¡  In  the  broadcasting  world  new  services  and  new  programs  are  created  almost  on  a  daily  basis.    It  is  a  fast-­‐growing  sector  with  an  enormous  role  to  play  in  shaping  the  ways  in  which  people  access  to  information,  educational,  material,  movies,  music,  sports  events  etc  

¡  The  relentless  conversion  to  digital  transmission  of  programs  and  content  is  offering  more  and  more  opportunities  for  efficient  and  cost-­‐effective  delivery  of  high  quality  content  and  interoperability  with  other  electronic  media  

Page 4: Enhancing Local Content Development for Broadcasters in the Digital Ecosystem

¡  A  digital  ecosystem  is  a  distributed,  adaptive,  open  socio-­‐technical  system  with  properties  of  self-­‐organisation,  scalability  and  sustainability  inspired  from  natural  ecosystems.  Digital  ecosystem  models  are  informed  by  knowledge  of  natural  ecosystems,  especially  for  aspects  related  to  competition  and  collaboration  among  diverse  entities  

Page 5: Enhancing Local Content Development for Broadcasters in the Digital Ecosystem

To  enhance  local  content  in  this  eco  system  therefor    requires  a  collaboration  of  various  entitities  that  for    very  long  have  worked  either  as  competitors  or  have    depended  on  each  other  solely  for  business  purposes.    Local  content  needs  to  thrive  in  the  era  we  are  living  in    and  the  following  will  be  some  of  its  drivers  

Page 6: Enhancing Local Content Development for Broadcasters in the Digital Ecosystem

1.  Content  for  very  long  has  been  viewed  as  KING,  In  the    digital  ecosystem  THE  AUDIENCE  IS  KING  

¡  Audiences  are  very  smart  these  days.  They  have  smart  phones,  and  smart  TV’s  they’re  highly  engaged  and  knowledgeable  about  everything  going  on  in  whatever  business  

¡  And  they’ll  let  you  know  what  they  think.  So  we  (Broadcasters  &  Producers)  have  to  be  honest  with  our  audiences,  engage  in  the  heated  conversation  and  be  authentic  at  all  times  

Page 7: Enhancing Local Content Development for Broadcasters in the Digital Ecosystem

2.    What  stories  are  we  telling  and  how  are  those  stories    told  and  packaged  

¡  Today:  §  The  attention  span  of  audiences  is  shrinking.  §  It  takes  more  info  to  act.  §  They  are  bombarded  by  messages  from  friends,  family,  and  brands.  

§  The  brain  tries  to  protect  them  from  information  overload.  Critically,  only  messages  that  pass  through  these  filters  will  be  effective.  

   

Page 8: Enhancing Local Content Development for Broadcasters in the Digital Ecosystem

§  For  very  long  Broadcasters  &  Producers  in  this  industry  have  made  assumptions  of  what  audiences  want.  What  do  they  really  want,  what  tools  are  we  using  to  gauge  what  they  want,  are  we  meeting  the  needs  we  think  they  want  met  or  the  needs  they  actually  want  met.    

Page 9: Enhancing Local Content Development for Broadcasters in the Digital Ecosystem

3.  Technology  §   It  is  transforming  and  increasingly  broadening  the  choices  broadcasters/producers/audiences  have  when  it  comes  to  content  creation  and  delivery  and  it  also  has  strategies  broadcasters/producers  can  use  to  stay  up  to  date  with  the  evolving  nature  of  content  consumption  and  changing  consumer  behaviors’.  

Page 10: Enhancing Local Content Development for Broadcasters in the Digital Ecosystem

¡  Technology  has  given  our  audiences  the  ability  to  choose  what  they  love  whenever  they  want  it    -­‐  and  also  the  voice  to  immediately  say  if  they  like  what  they  see/hear  or  not.  

¡  Technology  has  also  provided  broadcasters  and  producers  with  multiple  platforms  to  monetize  and  distribute  their  content,  they  must  however  be  careful  to  ensure  that  each  of  the  platforms  needs  are  met  and  not  a  one  size  goes  on  all  model.  The  opportunity  to  add  value  must  also  be  viewed  through  the  needs  of  the  audience  

Page 11: Enhancing Local Content Development for Broadcasters in the Digital Ecosystem

¡  Though  we  may  see  new  technologies  as  coming  to  harm  creativity,  they  are  actually  driving  quality  in  television,  because    while    television  used  to  be  the  mainstay  of  broadcast,  it  now  has  to  contend  with  various  platforms  that  offer  similar  content  

¡  Broadcasters  must  also  avoid  being  caught  in  the  need  to  use  the  different  audience  measures  (for  online/traditional  media)  as  viewers  and  views  are  fundamentally  different  

Page 12: Enhancing Local Content Development for Broadcasters in the Digital Ecosystem

¡  Digital  era  will  bring  commoditization  (process  by  which  goods  that  have  economic  value  and  are  distinguishable  in  terms  of  attributes  (uniqueness  or  brand)  end  up  

becoming  simple  commodities  in  the  eyes  of  the  market  or  consumers)  and  upset  entertainment  businesses  with  unexpected  winners,  this  may  challenge  broadcasters  into  different  business  models  but  create  a  myriad  of  opportunities  for  content  producers.  

¡  Digital  measurement  tools  will  make  it  easier  to  determine  viewership  trends  and  audience  needs  hence  feeding  what  broadcasters  perceive  audiences  to  need  

Page 13: Enhancing Local Content Development for Broadcasters in the Digital Ecosystem

¡  Binge  viewing,  audiences  are  sampling  a  lot  more  so  broadcasters/producers  should  purpose  at  creating  a  balance  between  long  and  short  form  content  creation/broadcast  

¡  Opportunities  for  global  distribution  ¡  Need  to  create  content  locally  that  will  be  consumed  globally  (Larger  audience)  

Page 14: Enhancing Local Content Development for Broadcasters in the Digital Ecosystem

¡  The  digital  ecosystem  though  dynamic  does  not  spell  a  death  knell  to  content  production    

¡  Amidst  very  rapid  innovations  the  broadcast  industry  manages  to  reinvent  itself  

¡  The  art  of  story  telling  must  constantly  evolve  and  both  broadcasters  and  producers  must  relentlessly  improve  their  ability  to  tell  this  stories  

¡  While  adopting  to  change  broadcasters  and  producers  must  provide  audiences  with  continuity  –  changes  need  to  be  subtle  in  the  audiences  perception  

Page 15: Enhancing Local Content Development for Broadcasters in the Digital Ecosystem

¡  Broadcast  is  still  one  of  the  biggest  storytelling  engines  in  the  world.    

¡  The  sheer  volume  of  original  programming  created  for  broadcast  ultimately  provides  content  not  only  for  broadcast,  but  also  for  the  majority  of  platforms
