  3. Overall Situation in TV Markets • TV Stations are further back in the cycle, recovery (as downturn) hits the progam buying budget with a delay • Sport is still important, but tough market makes every program “accountable” • Smaller sports went to no license fee model • Tennis big events hold their own (GS, DC) • Signs of recovery in the TV sports market

  4. Situation of TV Broadcasters in 2004 – a personal perspective: In general TV Stations are: • Good at programming operationally • Good at technical sport productions, even in smaller markets and newer stations • Weak in the sales area for sports

  5. Programming • In general TV stations have become very adept at • Planning their program schedules • Controlling audience flow • Making money from successful formats (repeats, commercial rights, multiple instalments, etc.) • While perfecting their processes, some TV stations are forgetting that the secret to a successful program is not to optimise mediocre programming but to produce, acquire & broadcast excellent programming & then maximize its impact

  6. Technical Expertise • TV stations around the world in very different markets and with extremely different structure and models are achieving reasonable standards of technical expertise • ITF much more confident in production capability of stations in less developed TV markets than 5 years ago • TV stations in developed markets are constantly raising the bar • Differences in style remain

  7. Selected Broadcaster Matchups Davis Cup Quarterfinals 2004 and Zonal PlayoffsHost Broadcaster and Away Broadcaster • SRG and F2/F3 (Switzerland v France, QF) • TVE and NOS (Spain v Netherlands, QF) • ESPN and SVT (USA v Sweden, Quarterfinal) • ONT and TyC (Belarus v Argentina, QF) • RTBF and ZBC (Belgium v Zimbabwe, Zonal) • M-Net and TA3 (South Africa v Slovak, Zonal) • TVN and Canal 1 (Chile v Ecuador, Zonal) • Tango TV and BBC (Luxembourg v GB, Zonal)

  8. Ad Sales • The sales area for sport is a challenge for many stations

  9. International Partners Ad Sales for Sport Sponsorship Structure Davis Cup 2004 Title Sponsor Title Sponsor * International Sponsors International Sponsors International Partners International Partners

  10. Ad Sales for Sports • TV ad sales teams are good when there is a very strong TV sport that creates specialists & focus (Soccer, US Football, Baseball in Japan etc.) • They are (in my opinion) underperforming when it comes to less dominant sporting events or events that rate high less predictably (Example Davis Cup final) • Many non-sales sports departments feel the same

  11. Ad Sales for Sports • What seems to work is to have dedicated “specialists” within the sales teams that package and sell specific sports or specific type of events ( for example national team events) • The “Specialist” system is also what works in Sponsorship Sales
