Television Broadcasting

The transmission of television programming for entertainment, news, and education, often also including advertising programming, is rapidly transitioning from traditional terrestrial broadcasting to a mixture of cable television, satellite television, and internet television in many parts of the world. The digital infrastructure required for these alternate means of content delivery means that additional services beyond traditional scheduled television programming can also often be offered to customers – examples include on-demand programming, internet services and telephone services.

The worldwide TV revenue forecast for 2020 describes an evolving and powerful market:

• Satellite TV revenues = $94.8 billion
• Digital cable TV revenues = $80.3 billion
• IPTV revenues = $27.9 billion
• Global pay TV revenues = $207 billion

While not as large as the cable services segment in most countries, the satellite television and internet television segments of the television industry are also growing rapidly in many countries. The industry as a whole is positioned to continue to expand with a variety of new services and products providing the consumer with more choices, convenience and control:

• Digital Video
• High-speed Internet
• Digital Voice Services
• High-Definition TV (HDTV)
• Digital Video Recorders (DVR)
• Subscription-Video-On-Demand (SVOD)
• Video-On-Demand (VOD)
• Bundled Program / Packages

The new digital infrastructure deployed by companies providing television and other services via cable, satellite and internet enable marketers to target specific demographics by positioning advertising by zone, DMA or postal or zip code to maximize the return on marketing expenditures and provide content targeted to each group.
