Challenges for revenue growth
There is more opportunity for exploiting content
than ever before. Broadcasters are looking for
innovative ways to gain new revenue streams from
their assets, and many communications companies
are offering new delivery channels.We look at how
these competing and complementary interests are
coming together to create a new financial model.

The Global Media Debate
International broadcasting - are new players
rewriting the rules?
The international broadcasting market has until
recently been dominated by a small number of public
service broadcasters and their public funded radio
services. This has changed with the move into the
international marketplace of a wide range of
entertainment-based television channels that have
developed genres for international audiences beyong
simply news and factual programming. We debate
what this means for international broadcasting and
how it will affect the landscape in the coming years.

Global Media Business - Assets
Protecting your investment
Many broadcasters are being forced to go digital as
the analogue production tools get scarce or too
expensive.Yet 80% of Europe’s audio-visual heritage is
slowly self destructing on library and archive shelves.
With limited budgets for both preservation and
digitisation of both hardware and software, how have
media owners shifted their priorities and how do they
decide what is so valuable that it has to be kept?

IT - here to stay
Is the future of broadcasting all about using
consumer technology and IT systems for cheapness
and ease? From commoditised IT products through
to PVRs, the opportunities for broadcasters and
consumers have never been greater. This session
challenges traditional broadcast thinking and opens
the door on new ways of making, moving and
delivering programmes.
