This book focuses on the challenges of competition in television broadcasting markets. The issues that arise with the transforming audiovisual industry are observed with a focus on audiences and consumers. The ideas collected here are the result of years of market observation, conversations with media managers and trend analysis. Although some of the examples provided come from the Spanish market, the theories, reflections and detected trends are valid for other countries as well.
The authors look for answers to questions regarding market dynamics, innovation in content development and revenue streams; sustainability and content quality; internationalization, business opportunities, distribution and acquisitions policies and the situation of the market’s new entrants and legacy media. The audiovisual industry has become more complex and companies must become more aware and decisive about their place in it: their objectives, strategies, and the methods of addressing their relationship with their audiences.
