In this episode, Alex Stolz is joined by Guy Bisson, Executive Director at Ampere Analysis, a leading firm in media and entertainment analytics. Guy brings over two decades of expertise in the global TV, film, and entertainment industries, offering unparalleled insights into the transformations reshaping content creation, distribution, and consumption. Together, they dive deep into the challenges and opportunities facing today's entertainment landscape. Guy explores the ongoing impact of streaming, especially in the aftermath of the pandemic boom and the Hollywood strikes. Guy highlights how content investment has leveled off at 75% of its peak, marking a significant shift that Guy argues can be viewed as positive and sustainable. They discuss how traditional media groups are navigating the era of consolidation and what it means for the future of entertainment. Guy also sheds light on the emerging role of social media platforms in content distribution and advertising, noting how platforms like YouTube have become critical players in the global entertainment ecosystem. The conversation moves into the world of film, with Guy offering insights into how the movie business is adjusting to the challenges of streaming, changing audience behavior, and the pullback in content production. As the industry faces the convergence of media and tech, Guy explores the concept of "diagonal integration," an emerging form of collaboration and M&A strategy that breaks traditional geographic and platform-based boundaries. Finally, they discuss the future of AI in entertainment—its rapid development, transformative potential, and the re-skilling required to adapt to this new wave of technological change.

Cada vez há mais documentários sobre os bastidores do desporto, principalmente desde os sucessos de “Drive to Survive”, em 2019, que catapultou a Fórmula 1 para um público mais jovem; e de “The Last Dance”, em 2020, sobre a insanidade competitiva de Michael Jordan, a maior estrela da NBA. Em fevereiro de 2024, de acordo com a empresa Ampere Analysis, nas plataformas de streaming existiam cerca de 3760 documentários sobre desporto. Mas por cada “Welcome to Wrexham“, a caminho da quarta temporada, também há um “Break Point”, cancelado após duas. Chega agora à Netflix “Starting 5“, que acompanha a vida de cinco jogadores da NBA, entre os quais LeBron James, na época 2023/2024. Que novas perspectivas nos trazem estes documentários? O que faz de uns um êxito e de outros um fracasso? No Humor À Primeira Vista, com Gustavo Carvalho, o humorista e grande fã de NBA Guilherme Fonseca analisa a enchente de documentários de desporto, elogia o desempenho de Neemias Queta na liga, recorda a preocupação da mãe quando descobriu que o filho era fã de NBA e faz uma lista de desejos para a próxima temporada de “Starting 5“.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How are fans engaging with Euro 2024 online? I got together with two brilliant industry experts at hotel MUNDIAL in Hackney to discuss all things content and marketing around the Euros... Daniyal Khan is a presenter and content creator. He has worked with clubs including Arsenal, he's also often on Sky's Saturday Social and now has own show on BBC1 - Gameday Gourmet, where he explores the best matchday eats.  Minal Modha is Head of Sport at Ampere Analysis, specialising  Media Rights, Sponsorship and Consumer Research.  The three of us explored a range of subjects. Nike or adidas, ITV or BBC? Which brands, broadcasters and content creators are nailing it, why Hellmans should double down on Jack Grealish and why Gareth Southgate's value to England goes beyond the pitch...

Marketers and media companies had just about got to grips with audience fragmentation brought about by social media and online video. Now the next big wave is coming fast from global streamers piling into TV's heartland with ad plays because their subscriber growth has maxed out. They're targeting the young with localised reality shows, comedy and romantic dramas, and the old with documentaries and crime while taking aim at live TV's biggest bastion by bidding for sports rights. That hasn't always worked out for the likes of Amazon, which has pulled back from Premier League rights acquisition in the UK. But it has Disney and Fox Sports worried enough to try to get a combined sports platform off the ground in the US and over regulatory hurdles. Ampere Analysis veteran analyst Guy Bisson thinks similar collaboration from broadcasters locally may be required – and could be good for audiences. Across the piste, Bisson breaks down where audiences are going, how much time they are spending on each channel, and where the money's headed – with Australia ahead of the global tipping point on streaming versus TV consumption, but not yet in terms of TV-video ad dollar reallocation. For broadcasters, the push by Amazon, Netflix and others into ads kills the old TV versus online video debate and removes the moat around ad-funded quality long form video. “It's no longer about ‘should I do TV, or should I do online?' It's, ‘I can do everything I can do on TV on streaming', says Bisson. He thinks broadcasters can compete on reach, targeting and content but need to accelerate streaming-first pivots to regain and retain audiences that definitely want free streamed TV versus the new pay TV – and strategically steal what they can.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

歡迎留言告訴我們你對這一集的想法： https://open.firstory.me/user/cl81kivnk00dn01wffhwxdg2s/comments 每日英語跟讀 Ep.K510: Streaming's Golden Age Is Suddenly Dimming American television viewers have become accustomed to it: Dozens of premieres every month, hundreds of shows every year, a guarantee from Hollywood that there's always going to be something new to watch. 美國電視觀眾對此已習以為常：每個月有數十部新片上架，每年有好幾百部片可看，好萊塢保證永遠有源源不絕的新影片可看。 But a new reality has become increasingly clear over the past few months in Hollywood: Peak TV has peaked. 但是過去幾個月來，一個新現實在好萊塢日趨明顯：電視黃金期已過巔峰。 The number of adult scripted series ordered by TV networks and streaming companies aimed for U.S. audiences fell by 24% in the second half of last year, compared with the same period of the year before last, according to Ampere Analysis, a research firm. Compared with 2019, it is a 40% drop. 根據研究公司安彼爾的分析，電視公司和串流公司所訂購、以美國觀眾為目標的成人導向影集數量，與前年同期相比，去年下半年下跌了24%。與2019年相比，則跌了40%。 For years, television executives tossed off billions of dollars on TV series to help build out their streaming services and chase subscribers. 多年來，電視台主管豪擲數十億美元於電視影集，欲建立自家串流服務並吸引訂戶。 But Wall Street soured on the buy-at-any-cost strategy starting in the spring, when Netflix, the streaming powerhouse, announced that it had lost subscribers for the first time in a decade. Netflix's stock nose-dived, and other entertainment companies soon watched their share prices fall, too. Hollywood companies quickly shifted, putting a new emphasis on higher profits instead of raw subscriber counts. 但是，當串流巨擘網飛今年春季宣布，出現10年來首次訂戶數下滑時，華爾街嘲諷了這種「不惜代價買片」的策略。網飛股價一瀉千里，其他娛樂公司也很快看到自家股價跟著下跌。好萊塢迅速見風轉舵，轉而重視更高收益而非新訂戶數。 Then, in recent months, entertainment companies became increasingly anxious about a slowing economy, the cord-cutting movement and a troublesome advertising market. Since the summer, scores of executives have abruptly been dismissed, strict cost-cutting measures have been adopted, and layoffs have taken hold throughout the industry. 接著，近幾個月來，娛樂公司對於放緩的經濟、退訂風潮和混亂的廣告市場益發感到焦慮。自今年夏季以來，數十名主管突遭解雇，嚴格的降低成本方針已經實施，而且裁員席捲整個產業。 For the year, the deepest declines in the number of orders for scripted adult series in the United States were at Netflix, Warner Bros. Discovery (which includes HBO and the Turner networks) and Paramount (which includes CBS, Paramount+ and Showtime). The series orders for U.S. audiences have fallen 22% to 27% at those three companies, according to Ampere. In the second half of the year, the drop-off in orders from the three companies was even steeper. 今年美國的成人導向影集訂購數量減少最多的公司是網飛、華納兄弟探索（擁有HBO和透納系列頻道）以及派拉蒙（擁有哥倫比亞廣播公司、派拉蒙+和Showtime電視網）。根據安彼爾，這三家公司針對美國觀眾的影集購買數量占比下跌了22%至27%。今年下半年，三家公司的購買量更是銳減。 There are a few outliers to this year's trend: Apple TV+ and Amazon have increased the number of adult scripted series they have purchased this year. So has Disney, according to Ampere's research. 根據安彼爾的研究，有幾家公司不受今年趨勢影響：Apple TV+和亞馬遜今年購買的成人導向影集數量增加了，迪士尼亦然。 In addition to TBS and TNT, digital giants like Facebook and YouTube, which were investing in original series just a few years ago, have mostly moved on. The CW, which was recently acquired by Nexstar, is looking for lower-cost programming. And there are numerous basic cable networks that in recent years have pulled back from original scripted programming ambitions. 除了TBS和TNT頻道，臉書和YouTube等數位巨擘也從幾年前開始投資原創影集，而且仍在繼續。最近剛被次星傳媒集團收購的CW電視網，正在尋找低成本節目。此外，為數不少的基層有線電視台近年已收回企畫原創影集的野心。Source article: https://udn.com/news/story/6904/6925559 Powered by Firstory Hosting

We look at what may be the biggest media deal of the year – Microsoft is trying to buy one of the world's leading games producers Activision Blizzard for almost 60 billion pounds, but UK regulators have questions.

As postal workers become the latest group to call a strike, and railway workers and train drivers plan to walk out again through August, we look at how well the news media covers industrial disputes. What's changed in journalism since the days when every media outlet had an industrial correspondent and the union bosses on speed dial? We speak to Nick Jones, a former industrial correspondent for the BBC and author of The Lost Tribe of Fleet Street, Jeremy Warner, associate editor and business columnist at The Daily Telegraph, and Alan Jones, industrial correspondent at the Press Association (PA Media). We also look at broadcast sports rights today – with big changes in the offing as new companies with deep pockets get involved. Amazon has been making its presence felt for some time and the Nordic owned Viaplay is about to arrive in the UK.

- FIFA 23 podría ser el primer título de la saga con juego cruzado, según el insider Tom Henderson. Así, el próximo juego de fútbol de EA, que bien podría no llamarse FIFA, además de implementar mejoras en la tecnología Hypermotion o ampliar el número de jugadoras, permitiría jugar entre consolas Playstation, Xbox y PC. - Forza Horizon 5 recibe soporte para lenguaje de signos. Enorme noticia la que ha traído consigo la última actualización del exitoso juego de Playground Games, pues aunque era bien sabido que esta característica llegaría en algún momento, es emocionante ver que algunas compañías muestran verdadero interés por cuestiones de accesibilidad. - El gasto en consolas alcanza un récord histórico en 2021 con 60 mil millones de dólares. Un nuevo informe de Ampere Analysis dejaba este y otros datos, como el auge del consumo digital frente al físico, y yo no puedo dejar de preguntarme en mis adentros cómo serían estas cifras tan imponentes si la industria no hubiera estado radicalmente condicionada por la escasez de semiconductores durante todo el año.  - Ya conocemos los juegos de la primera tanda del Game Pass de marzo, y destacan claramente Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy o Kentucky Route Zero.

Microsoft said it plans to buy mega games company Activision Blizzard in deal worth almost $70bn. How will this deal transform the gaming industry? We hear from Louise Shorthouse, senior games analyst at Ampere Analysis. Plus, are we all eventually going to live in a virtual world? Philosopher David Chalmers explains why he believes that virtual reality will overtake the material world. And, what makes a game go viral?

Investors fear Microsoft's announced acquisition of Activision will bring more competition to Sony's PlayStation division and take away key games from the Japanese giant's platform. Key Activision games like Call of Duty could help power Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass subscription service. One analyst said the market "overreacted" with the 12% stock drop and that Sony will continue to pump out "blockbuster" games due to its investments in gaming studios. investors likely fear rising competition to Sony's PlayStation division as well as the potential for Microsoft to pull some popular games from the Japanese entertainment giant's platforms. For some time, Sony has been ahead of Microsoft with its portfolio of first-party games, allowing it to stay ahead in the console wars. But should Microsoft close the acquisition of Activision, it will have a strong portfolio of hit games from the Call of Duty franchise to World of Warcraft. That content can help power Microsoft's subscription strategy around Game Pass, a pay-monthly service that allows users to access a library of games across different devices. It is a rival to Sony's "PlayStation Plus" and "PlayStation Now" services. When console makers own the gaming studio, they often make those games exclusive to their platforms. Games like Call of Duty are currently available on both PlayStation and Xbox. But investors fear Microsoft could take those games off of PlayStation's platforms, giving the U.S. company more attractive content to rival Sony. "There is no doubt that this deal weakens Sony position in the market," Piers Harding-Rolls, games research director at Ampere Analysis, said in a note published Wednesday. "Whether or not Activision Blizzard's content is progressively made exclusive to Xbox platforms and services, inclusion of new releases into Xbox Game Pass for several major games franchises, including Call of Duty, will undermine Sony's third-party business. Sony has benefitted from the ability to negotiate timed exclusive content for Call of Duty but this is now under threat." --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/masseffect/support

This is a packed summer of sport, from the Olympics and the Euros, to a new cricket competition called The Hundred on primetime BBC.

SportsPro editor at large Eoin Connolly is joined by managing director Nick Meacham and Tony Maroulis, principal analyst at Ampere Analysis, to discuss two huge sports media stories. First up, they consider what the Premier League’s rollover of its UK£4.7 billion domestic rights deals with Sky Sports, BT Sport and Amazon says about the strategic outlook for English soccer’s top flight ahead of a period of digital transition, the health of the market in Europe, and the merits of the three-year sales cycle. Next on the agenda is AT&T’s decision to merge its WarnerMedia assets, including the likes of Turner Sports, with Discovery, which owns Eurosport and GolfTV. They ask what the creation of another massive media group will mean for the industry, what the implications are for partners like the NBA and IOC, and whether this creates a path to a more globalised sports offering.
