Digital Addressability Understanding the Changing TV Consumption Habits
Digital Addressability = Choice ? • Has digitization enhanced the ‘choice set’ for consumption? • Are consumers exercising choice? • What are key noteworthy changes?
To explore these aspects… • We have used the TAM Elite Panel Viewership panel data • We have further split the Cable & Satellite Universe into… • Analog – Homes receiving cable channels through co-axial cable (without a set-top-box) • Digital – Homes receiving cable channels either through DTH or Cable Set-Top-Box (STB)
Mumbai + Delhi - 0.76mn Penetration – 10% Digitization = Contradicts traditional penetration trends • Rural Penetration = 4 x Urban Penetration • Thanks to DD Direct Plus (possibly the only FREE DTH service) • Within Urban India… • Highest Penetration Level in Mumbai+Delhi areas • Thanks to the mandated rollout of CAS • Highest penetration in the TAM Elite Panel Profile (SEC A1 with AC, PC & Car ownership) = 30%
Elite Viewers = Give Me More ! Base: 971,000 Base: 746,000 Base: 225,000
Channels = Digital>Analog 14% 27%
Exclusivity – Meaningful ? • Majority of the “Exclusive Channels” comprise of ‘regional language’ channels Source: TAM Elite Panel Market: Mumbai Time Period: Wk 1-13 2008
Scenario no different in Delhi…. • Majority of the “Exclusive Channels” comprise of ‘regional language’ channels Source: TAM Elite Panel Market: Delhi Time Period: Wk 1-13 2008
With this context… • Lets Explore… • Time Spent Viewing TV • Time Spent on Channel Genres (type of content) • Viewing pattern through the day • Sports Genre, interesting preference differences
No Noteworthy Differences ! • What we give = We receive !!
< Not One & The Same !
In Sum • The off-take of digitization has been unlike trends observed in the past • Rural & Urban Elite (2 Metros) rank the highest • More channels are being delivered through addressable systems BUT content mix clearly not very enthusing • As a result,… • No significant enhancement in time spent on TV • Despite this, very interesting channel genre level preferences emerging between Mumbai & Delhi audiences • New day-parts with different content making significant marks • Sports – Much more than just cricket, unified response trend across Mumbai & Delhi • DTH/Cable STB Homes – Spoilt for Choice?
