The dynamics related to this "blackout" and how privately held DirecTV views the future of the television business model seemingly appeared to be the focus of an "analyst call" hosted by the Chief Financial Officer for the direct broadcast satellite company. From the get-go, the session, which did not include an opportunity for journalists' query, saw Ray Carpenter offer a one-sided, biased viewpoint on one of the touchiest subjects impacting TV stations today: retransmission consent, and what constitutes fair compensation."Price gauging" and "a lack of flexibility" programmers "institute" on distributors were just some of the comments Carpenter lobbed at The Walt Disney Co., which saw its station go dark across DirecTV and U-Verse channel lineups on Sunday at 7pm Eastern. While there are always two players involved in a carriage fee negotiation process, MVPDs have consistently pointed fingers at broadcast TV station owners as the guilty party when the loss of TV stations — by law — must come in the absence of a fresh retransmission consent agreements.On Tuesday morning, Carpenter and DirecTV took it up a notch, and the RBR+TVBR InFOCUS Podcast, presented by dot.FM, is pleased to offer excerpts from the DirecTV analyst call — giving the broadcast media industry an opportunity to hear for themselves the DBS provider's view on retransmission consent.

Researcher MoffettNathanson thinks we're near the end of linear TV as we have known it. The company says this has been taken for granted as SVoDs . Researcher MoffettNathanson thinks we're near the end of linear TV as we have known it. The company says this has been taken for granted as SVoDs have prospered, but looks more problematic now they are stalling. Moffett notes the continued value of linear TV. Linear TV revenue at $86.3 billion (€89.2bn), is nearly four times that of streaming's $22.6 billion. That could pose problems for content creators as their core linear business — pay-TV — is declining at a 6 per cent annually. According to the analyst, with the best scripted shows shifted to streaming, linear is left with news, some sports, reality shows and second tier drama. Overall pay TV subscribers fell 6.1 per cent in Q2, with cable, satellite and telco providers all reporting steep declines. Cable TV led the walk of shame with 1.048 million fewer linear TV customers (a 7.8 per cent decline), while satellite TV shed 635,000 subscribers (a 12.5 per cent decline) and telco TV lost 223,000 customers. Overall, traditional pay-TV lost 1.95 million customers. Including virtual MVPDs such as Sling TV, DirecTV Now and Hulu Plus Live TV, pay-TV providers shed 1.9 million customers in the period, according to Moffett.

ATSC 3.0, the new IP-based broadcast signaling standard branded as "NextGen TV," targets the TV with a blend of enhanced capabilities such as 4K, high dynamic range (HDR), on-demand video, immersive audio and advanced advertising. But the standard is also being touted as a downstream broadband distribution pipe that can support a much wider range of use cases, including mobile applications. That mobility angle is starting to lead to apps and services for connected automobiles, including the distribution of info and entertainment services and the delivery of other large files. In the US, some of those use cases are starting to emerge at the Motown 3.0 Open Test Track in Detroit, Michigan, where a mix of technology demos are underway. Pearl Television, a consortium of several US broadcasters, serves as the test manager at the test track. "We always thought automotive was a natural extension to our television service," Anne Schelle, managing director of Pearl TV, said on the Light Reading Podcast. "We've demonstrated in multiple markets that this is a really robust signal ... meaning it's easy to receive it in a car even when you're in a garage or underground." Schelle said Pearl TV and other broadcasters view ATSC 3.0 as a distribution pipe that can complement cellular and even satellite. "Automakers need every option," she said, noting that companies that run fleets of trucks or limousines are among the areas of the automotive market that could suit this use case. South Korea, a market that is about two years ahead of the US with the standard, is also exploring the connected car use case. There, Hyundai Mobis is developing a lineup of cars that will come equipped with ATSC 3.0 receivers starting in 2023. Here's a snapshot of topics covered in this podcast:The origins of the Pearl TV consortium and its involvement with the ATSC 3.0 standard (1:30)How the delivery of data to autos is a natural extension to the new IP-based signaling standard (8:50) Background on the Motown 3.0 Open Test Track and some details and findings from the recent trials conducted there (10:15)How ATSC 3.0 is expected to fit in with other wireless and mobile network types, including 5G and satellite (12:15)Potential other use cases for NextGen TV/ATSC 3.0 (19:30) A brief overview of the regulatory environment on the new standard, including thoughts on the FCC's fresh inquiry into voluntary adoption of the new standard and what technical challenges might be faced by cable operators and other multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs) in redistributing those signals (23:00) — Jeff Baumgartner, Senior Editor, Light Reading See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this episode our featured guest is Reed Barker, head of advertising at Philo, one of the leading brands in the CTV space. At Philo, Barker is leading the team's efforts to build and grow a cutting-edge, dynamic ad platform for the entertainment-focused streaming TV services' ad business. Barker is known throughout the industry as an innovative advertising product professional, with a strong track record of success in developing and implementing revenue-generating technology solutions. In this podcast, BIA's Rick Ducey is joined by Mitch Oscar, advanced TV director for USIM, to explore the world of virtual MVPDs and how Philo in particular is achieving success.

For just $20 a month, Philo offers consumers more than 60 cable channels. It's a simple value proposition that has helped this venture stand out in a crowded marketplace of so-called virtual MVPDs. And as Philo CEO Andrew McCollum explains, he's not about to make the mistake that has the prices of many of his competitors soaring.

Our "Tuning into Spectrum" series takes a close look at hot topics and issues in radio spectrum. Recently, in a letter to Senator Kennedy (R-LA), Chairman Pai stated that he intends to conduct a public auction of the 3.7-4.2 GHz spectrum range (commonly referred to as the C-Band) that would clear 280 megahertz for flexible use to be allocated by auction and allot 20 megahertz to a guard band. In this episode, Associate Avonne Bell and Partners Chip Yorkgitis and Josh Guyan discuss the issues that remain unresolved, including the impact on satellite operators and MVPDs, technical issues, a possible transition to fiber in some areas, and C-Band-related legislation. After this podcast was recorded, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai indicated his intention to include a C-band item on the agenda for the FCC’s next Open Meeting on February 28, 2020.

Kait Boulous of Varick discusses the role that challenger brands will play in shaping the future of OTT advertising.
