Description

Broadcast leaders explain how their linear+BVOD Total TV offers could contribute to an increase in total audience and total viewing time for ad-supported TV/premium video in Australia. This is your chance to judge if we can offset linear [broadcast] audience losses with streaming that is equally as effective, and how much of that reach replacement will come from the broadcasters themselves. The conversation will span: Content creation to attract younger demos, and contribution to youth culture and fandom; The future of mass audience event television, including format innovation to bring families and a nation together; Whether new and different audiences can be served with more complementary programming; If larger streaming catalogues mean incremental viewing; Whether live/linear deserves a more central role in streaming services, and how the live streaming UX can be improved; The impact that true, intelligent personalization has on viewing consumption; Turbo-charging the sports viewing experience, especially in streaming; Making the ad viewing experience more appealing for consumers; If all-streaming can be better than all-broadcast for both viewer and advertiser.
