Broadcasting Ecosystem

Content creation

The first element in the broadcasting ecosystem is the creation of audiovisual content. Broadcast content is offered to users in terms of a broadcast service, bundled and offered as a package. The major part of broadcast services are radio shows, movies, documentaries, news for radio, TV programmes, etc. However, it may also contain new types of content emerged with the advent of Internet such as websites, blogs, social media appearance. The broadcast services includes linear and nonlinear content. Linear content refers to the traditional way of offering radio or TV services with scheduled sequence of content over a certain period of time. This type of content are set up by broadcasters and cannot be changed by a listener or a viewer - the last ones can only change from one service to another or to switch off if the programme is not attractive. A live stream on the Internet is to be considered as a linear, as well. Nonlinear content are time-shifted and catch-up services available for a certain period of time. The viewer can select individual pieces of content and control the timing and the sequence of consumption. Other forms of nonlinear broadcast services encompass on demand access to audio and video content for immediate consumption and the viewer decides what to consume, where to consume it, when and on which device. Mobibase does not produce its own content but licence content rights acquired from a combination of international and local rights deals. Many major broadcasters which report under IFRS, including ITV, Channel 4, Sky, France24, TV Globo, teleSUR, RTL, Deutsche Well and Bell Media, explicitly highlight acquiring programming rights as a key driver of revenue growth. Acquired programming rights can be for single or multiple broadcasts and can have licence periods spanning away years. The agreements may also specify format (HD, 3D) and geographical rights. Programming rights agreements also cover other platforms such as desktop computer, tablet and smartphone.

Content distribution

Another important element in broadcasting ecosystem is the content distribution. Broadcasters distribute their content over several networks (terrestrial, cable, satellite, broadband networks, etc.) moving toward complete digital broadcasting. The content market is characterised by the multi-platform environment through which content is available to end users. There is a distinction between offline content (e.g. content delivered via traditional broadcasting platforms) and online content(e.g. video on demand).
