  9. CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS • Total Advertising Revenue for TV in 2010 was less than USD 175 Million (Rs. 15 Billion) • Zero Subscription Revenue – therefore entire Industry running after Ad Revenue • News Channels sensationalizing stories • Entertainment Channels full of Ads • Despite the above, most TV Channels are in Loss!

  10. THE CHALLENGES! • Pakistan market cannot afford 80+ TV Channels • PEMRA needs to enforce regulatory framework • Limit the number of Licenses considering supply & demand • Implement Subscription generation for Channels as well as Cable Operators • Remove illegal channels which provide unfair competition to local channels • Content will drive Channel success and it is getting more and more expensive • The other big challenge for TV Industry is Distribution. Cable Operators can carry less than 100 channels while more than 130 are available

  11. WHAT THE INDUSTRY NEEDS TO DO • Broadcasters must decide the following together with other stakeholders • How to co-exist with Cable Operators where both parties benefit from each other. This decision will rest mostly on how to increase subscription revenue and divide it. • Work with PEMRA to stop airing of illegal content, thereby increasing viewership for legal content • Limit New Licenses and create a market mechanism whereby new licenses may be awarded only if market grows • Create self governed Editorial guidelines • Improve local capacity for Quality production – Invest in production infrastructure (Institutes, facilities, equipment)
