Broadcasting sector adjusts to competition from OTT video services
This report provides statistics and analyses on Australia's broadcasting sector, including recent developments affecting digital TV market services and pay TV providers. The report assesses overall market dynamics, and the key operating performance of the principal players. It also covers developments in digital radio services and the likely trends which will develop into 2015 and further ahead as the broadcasting sector adjusts to the introduction of OTT services from providers including Presto TV, Stan and Netflix. The sector continues to be affected by changing consumer use of services, and the wider adoption of tablets, smartphones and PCs to view programming. This consumer shift is affecting broadcasters' advertising revenue, their chief source of funding.
Free-to-Air TV now all-digital
The switch to digital broadcasting from analogue has meant that there is now a significantly larger number of FTA channels available. This has dispersed viewing preferences among consumers, with the result that TV programming is more fragmented. Although there are more channels available, the number of viewing hours has remained relatively stable for a number of years, and as a result individual channels, and particularly specific shows, have seen declining viewer numbers. The launch of subscription video services will further erode linear TV viewing, as subscribers choose instead to watch programs at a time of their choosing. The shift away from linear TV has seen the penetration of TV in households fall to about 88% by early 2015.
