Broadcasters on Social Networks
• On Facebook, broadcasters keep general group page for updates
• However, for most part Facebook group pages are fan-generated, differs from Twitter, in which networks feed live info

• Broadcasters keep specific twitters for news, popular shows, and PR
• As CNN breaking news is very interactive with watchers (as twitter comments are directly reflected on CNN shows), it has the largest number of followers. Generally news networks with live feed and networks with younger target audiences (like MTV) tend to have more followers
• Examples – Followers• Lost on ABC – 53,027• CNN Breaking News– 1,861,310• Discovery PR – 10,068• CBS News – 524,976• NBC News – 22,121• ESPN First Take – 24,818• The Office on NBC – 65,785• MTV – 186,746• BET – 50,487

Music on Mobile• Ringtone Market in Decline ->• New markets emerging• Ringback Tones• Market for ringback tones will see revenue triple by
2012 to $4.7 billion –research by MultiMedia Intelligence
• "Ringback tones are quickly becoming the 'Golden Child' of the mobile music market, due to a winning combination of consumer popularity, and minimal impact from DRM or piracy. The current leading mobile premium content category of realtones is already facing challenges. Consumers increasingly are able to create their own ringtones. The price disparity compared to a full track download is also a growing factor.“
–Frank Dickson from MultiMedia Intelligence
• Full-track Downloads (i.e. Apple Store)• A majority of both U.S. (84%) and global (66%) consumers were satisfied with the mobile
downloading and listening experience, up from 26% of U.S. consumers in 2007. Additionally, the survey found that 29% of U.S. consumers, and 49% of global consumers said they were willing to accept advertising in return for free songs.
