Back In The Day…

Media Landscape

Back In The Day – Media Landscape

• The 1990’s saw the inception of cable and satellite TV in the UK

• The initial offerings were small, fragmented and the technology unstable - Channel Five barely worked!

• The dominance of ITV remained all powerful – 50% share of

commercial ratings and BBC

• Analogue broadcast technology meant that ownership of TV

stations and access to bandwidth was very prohibitive

Back In The Day – Media Landscape

• Limited hours of broadcast on most TV stations

• The ratings of airtime were very high and the cost of airtime was extremely expensive

• Very little short term media deals, limited DRTV and no infomercial

airtime

• TV regulation was managed by the Independent Television

Commission

Back In The Day…

TV Production

Back In The Day…. TV Production

• TV production and TV advertising budgets dominated by large

agency networks with large agency pricing

• 1990s – the era of the iconic advert matched by astronomic

budgets. A £million plus budget for 30 second creative often norm

• Technology employed was expensive and often unreliable. An

edit suite could cost up to £300k and the cost per day for edit

could be £1,500.00 per day

• TV advertising remained the bastion and marketing tool of brands

NOT entrepreneurs

Examples of TV Adverts

Back In The Day…. TV Production

But that was all set to change due to a

wholesale restructure of TV landscape….

What The TV Landscape Looks Like Now

Media Landscape

Several major changes occurred at the

start of the 2000’s

The TV Landscape Looks Like Now – Media

• Explosive introduction of Sky Digital Platform driven by free dish

promotion – now 11.2 million homes

• Digital TV audiences overtook terrestrial viewing

• Digital satellite broadcast technology – 10 x cheaper for new

channels and 10 x more efficient bandwidth

• Result = 600 TV channels on Sky Digital Platform including 32 x

standalone TV shopping channels


• Collapse of ITV Digital platform led to the formation of Freeview to

enable digital Britain – now 19 million homes

• Regulatory change – EU ‘Broadcasting with Frontiers’ legislation

opened up ‘Teleshopping Windows’ on all channels

• OFCOM was formed and the ASA took over TV regulation with the introduction of the BCAP code

What these changes meant to the DRTV

and TV Shopping Industry:

• The huge increase in TV channels and splintering of

ratings/audiences changed the broadcast landscape for advertisers

• Testing of new concepts became possible with significantly

lower media budgets

• Ability to target much more niche audiences via specific TV

stations

• The path to scalability of campaigns became easier


• For infomercial advertisers now possible to advertise 30 minute

infomercials on multiple TV shopping channels and 150 x

channels in the UK including ITV, Channel Four and Five

• Exponential growth in VOD both online and via digital TV

platforms

• Exciting new potential in 3 minute adverts and TV sponsorship


What The TV Landscape Looks Like Now

TV Production

• Massive developments in technology dramatically dropped costs

– new edit suites cost £7k vs £300k

• Digital camera equipment is less expensive but far superior cinematic quality

• All voice overs are typically recorded in home studios and down

loaded

• All content is delivered digitally to TV stations – no more tape!

The TV Landscape Looks Like Now – Production

• Agents and talent work to ‘buy out’ terms allowing clients to

produce content at low cost

• Content is usually produced for multiple platforms – TV, on line

• New advertising agency model – creative, production and post

production exist as one unit to avoid mark up

• Now possible to produce high quality TV adverts for as little as

£20k

• Industry result – TV is accessible to most advertisers

The TV Landscape Looks Like Now – Production

The Future of TV

The Broadcast House View of The Future of TV

• Cost of linear spot airtime to remain static due to ‘over supply’ model….

• Continued growth in time staggered viewing – currently 12% of

total viewing

• Migration of TV viewing to devices to continue unabated with

growth in YouTube and IPTV platforms

• Destination programming to maintain mass audiences

The Broadcast House View of The Future of TV

• Growth of ‘teleshopping’ to continue with large number of brands

utilising three minute DRTV adverts

• VOD advertising to grow to target specific audiences including

ABC1 demographics

• UK produced infomercials and tailored TV sponsorship to be used

to drive sales of direct and online brands

• Continued converging of TV and online media where responsive

creative remains king…
