It is no doubt, the most critical successful factor is to have the leading National Broadcasters support! They usually share up to 80% all viewing time in any market!Without their support will we not enter any market!
But all national broadcasters are losing marketshares during the digitalization! TV4 28,2 SVT1 26,5 TV4 22,2 Share of viewing % Satellite and others SVT2
TV4 developed a very successful strategy! 2002 Licensing and publishing TV4 Sverige tv4.se Allt om Stockholm TV4 text-tv ”Med i tv” 2008 TV4 Plus tv4.se TV4 Sverige TV400 TV4 Komedi Tv4 Film TV4 text-tv Tv4 Sport Tv4 Guld TV4 mobile TV4 Fakta 1990 More ”planets” • The 4 S • Samarbete/Cooperation • Samordning/Coordination • Solsystemet/ the Solar system • Samarbetspartners/Joint partners

Broadcasters position The new digital market demands new broadcaster strategies • New channels as complement • Using synergies in cross-promotion, content rights and brand use • New distribution as complement • mobile phone • Internet • Pay TV revenue model as complement • in digital TV (incl. DTT, satellite and cable) • In new distribution As the major national broadcasters have had a dominant position in the analogue TV world, the new digital market has meant new strategies to keep market position. New insight is that existing position can be moved forward by taking the right steps. Digital TVS TV# TV1 TV+ TV1 TVZ Share of viewers TVX TVY Analogue Time • From a single channel strategy in the analogue world to a multi channel strategy in a digital world. • Experience from Swedish TV4 and other media groups show that revenue will grow and market position will strengthen when introducing new pay Channels in addition to existing Free-to-Air channel, using all possible synergies. • To keep market share in the new fragmentizised market • To find alternative revenue streams when advertising revenues fall, due to recession and fragmentization of media consumption
Conclusions and recommendations to Mobil TV operators Key success factors • Focus on existing TV channels and wait with the special programming for mobility! • Take the advantage of existing viewer behavior • Avoid create new needs and teach consumers a new viewing concept • TV viewing is something very much mature and changes requires time and lots of money • TV mobile doesn’t mean people watching TV while “moving” but in a mobile environment • Simplicity for the consumer is key: New formats, interactivity, VOD can come at a further stage FTA broadcasters Packaging content • Groups of interest can be of any kind in a wide are of range: Youth/Kids, Entertainment, News and women/man oriented channels can be of interest for a mass market audience. • “good quality-low cost” Pay TV Basic package is key in order to have a wide acceptance from the market. Premium content will also be relevant in the area of sports and adults. • FTA broadcasters key for driving the audience and “moving goods”. • FTA broadcasters see TV mobile environment as a new revenue stream driven by access fee revenues- • FTA channels are for free in DVB-T mobile. DVB-H mobile is a further step on the DVB-T experience considering FTA & Pay but also better technology and user experience (i.e. indoor , battery, encryption-pay)
