Slide8Linear Pay TV Services Beginning to Crumble
The subscription bundle is no longer sacred, with game theory strategies driving mutinies by HBO, CBS, Viacom, Showtime, etc.Consumers are happily paying an inverse amount for the value/time they spend on OTT services versus Pay TV“OTT video accounts for a disproportionate amount of content consumed when compared to expenditure — over one-third of video consumed per week is OTT, but it is only 9% of the household video budget. In terms of hours of consumption per dollar spent, consumers have every reason to shift spending to online video.” – Brett Sappington, director of research at Parks Associates

Slide14Implications for Content Providers
Hedging bets with hybrid Pay TV/OTT bundles/showsA&E “Food Porn” and “Fall Into Me”Hulu as Pay TV/OTT content aggregator (e.g. “The Mindy Project”)
Experimenting with business modelsLive streaming, ad-supported, SVoD, Freemium, live PPV, VoD, combination
The launch of Vessel online video platform
No longer have to “ask for permission”- floodgates are open!
But, advertising brands can now go “direct to consumer” with their own channels (e.g. Red Bull) and apps (e.g. on Roku)6/17/201514
