William (Bill) Mobley: BIG NEWS: Fiber Internet Rollout Offers Economic Opportunity. While cable TV is on the decline, the new expansion of fiber internet services should provide a $3 trillion boost to the US economy. Dial-up internet was delivered via decades-old copper phone lines, while the expansion of cable TV infrastructure enabled higher-speed internet service, which made the current streaming revolution possible. The shift to fiber represents an upgrade of a similar magnitude, which promises to enable a new generation of internet-delivered services, create jobs, and even raise property values of homes with access to the new connectivity technology. As internet becomes the primary delivery means for video entertainment, bandwidth and speed needs will only continue to grow. FreeCast's partnerships with Fiber Carriers collaboratively bonds NextGenStreaming with "dedicated consumer" bandwidth. Whereby both parties share significant revenues, unlike non-dedicated consumers wandering the confusion of mass retail media apps churning an ocean of binge, bailing, and bouncing. Recap: As fiber internet continues to roll out in the US, it could yield up to $3.2 trillion in combined economic benefits. • Just as cable TV infrastructure allowed for improved internet versus old copper phone lines, fiber offers a similar scale of improvement over cable internet. • Fiber internet will enable a new generation of web-delivered services such as FreeCast, create hundreds of thousands of new jobs, and even raise property values of homes and businesses with fiber connectivity. • As internet becomes the primary means of delivering video, the need for bandwidth and higher speeds will only grow.

William (Bill) Mobley: Big Questions Complicate Comcast’s Cable Channel Breakup. "Things that make You go Hummm"! Comcast is proceeding with plans to spin off its cable channels business. While on the surface, shedding the fast-declining cable channels seems to make sense, it could be a messy divorce with interdependent entities ending up on separate sides of the split. In particular, news channels MSNBC and CNBC both share facilities, talent, and branding with NBC news, raising questions for all parties if there is no longer a corporate connection between those entities. The same applies to Peacock, with much of the streaming service’s premium content coming from cable networks like USA, SyFy, Bravo, Oxygen, and E!. #FreeCast #NextGenStreaming #NoMoreAppDiving #YouBundle #Streaming #Tv https://lnkd.in/eqd6Ysmr

William (Bill) Mobley: Almost 70% of US Homes Now Have a Smart TV...According to Parks Associates, 68% of US households now have at least one smart TV. This number is only expected to grow further, as almost all new TVs sold, including budget models, now come standard with smart features. This is a significant increase from just a few years ago, up from 54% in 2020. Meanwhile the use of dedicated streaming media players is down, indicating the shift from set-top hardware to features built-in to televisions. Samsung’s Tizen is the most widely used smart TV operating system, with TV sales alone powering the Korean electronics giant’s CTV reach. The company offers neither a standalone streaming service or Tizen-powered set-top hardware. The missing piece is a "whole home" adoption across all devices, not only advancing consumer conveniences, yet where gaining a much larger share of advertising revenues. By example alone. FreeCast's network whole-home hub solution would add the following; - Live Local Channels within streaming EPG, along with FAST Channels on all devices. - YouBundle would ad a complete marketplace for other apps, where the control center would allow consumers to manage, pay, pause, and restart streaming services on all devices. - Garnish Ad Revenues Control, Much Higher CPMs, 100% fills with its Experiential Data w Hyper Targeting....across all devices . Repeat... "all consumer devices in the home" and all but live locals outside the home while away. While solving the consumers greatest inconvenience problems with streaming... Unification.

Good Read: CTV, OTT Offer Many Positives, But Transparency, Frequency Issues Remain. Nearly 40% of those surveyed cite a lack of transparency among streaming platforms. And nearly 40% say "fragmentation" has another problem -- too many CTV platforms and providers. Another persistent issue is managing frequency issues across all publisher platforms, with 37% of respondents citing this issue, while another 33% are concerned about measurement issues. The main positive results in ad spend for CTV/OTT are as follows, according to the study: 1. Achieves brand awareness and performance goals \(41%\) 2. Highly engaged opt-in audience comes with CTV/OTT \(40%\) 3. Precision audience targeting \(38%\) 4. Extended reach for linear TV \(36%\) - Media Post Hyper Targeted Lead Gen Advertising Exists....This is a problem that "shoudln't exist".

William (Bill) Mobley: Paramount Wants Half-Off Nielsen Fees "Paramount, which is in the midst of cutting $500 million from its operations, has suggested it should not be paying Nielsen higher prices when the fees come to more than the advertising revenue that TV ratings generate. Paramount, like many of its rivals, spends hundreds of millions on Nielsen measurement each year" Paramount and Nielsen still don’t have a new contract after weeks of negotiation, and the dispute is now once again spilling into the public. If Nielsen CEO Karthik Rao is to be believed, the two parties are still quite far apart, with Paramount seeking to pay half of the fees Nielsen is proposing. Paramount contends that Nielsen’s proposed fees are more than the total advertising revenue of the channels they’re measuring, making it hard to justify the spend for ratings numbers. Likewise, Paramount emphasizes the declining value of Nielsen ratings as more advertising moves to streaming and CTV, where Nielsen has long struggled to capture an accurate picture. All this comes against the backdrop of the rapid decline in traditional television; there’s just not the money in that business that they’re used to be, and Nielsen’s fees may need to adjust to the new reality of the market they’re serving. Point, Counter Point 2024. It continues to amaze me how many of these topics of Streaming Media Struggles are resolved in a simple answer of consolidation within a OmniChannel Platform for streaming like Spotify did for the music industry. Viewership data will be the same as a major collective value. #NextGenStreaming #FreeCast #NoMoreAppDiving #Streaming #tv https://lnkd.in/eWKPcrdm

William (Bill) Mobley: Troubles Plaguing Cable TV are Coming for Broadcast Next. With the Los Angeles Dodgers sprinting to a 3-0 lead in the World Series much of the street and the sports business media focused on how a sweep would impact Fox’s economics. The broadcast network reportedly stood to miss out on as much as $150mm in ‘potential’ advertising revenue if the New York Yankees could not extend the series. “But when it comes to major sports’ broadcast partners, all of them, largely succeed or fail based upon the value of multi-year contractual retrans fees; and the MLB post post-season, including the World Series, is no exception.” Nevertheless, retransmission fees are collected, like pay TV network fees, based on the number of subscribers inside the bundle. If that universe continues shrinking, the broadcast networks will eventually find themselves in a similar circumstance to their cable counterparts. \(Great Read\) - John Wall Street "Times are changing and FreeCast was commercially constructed for this moment when scaling profits is on top and costs to reach the largest mass of consumers is zero. Plus the highest possible earnings in advertisement engagement are the target at all moments.

William (Bill) Mobley: UNSUSTAINABLE TRUTH ABOUT STREAMING TV: Paramount Shows Sub Growth but Flat Profits Ahead of Skydance Merger. In one of its last financial filings before its upcoming merger with Skydance Media, Paramount Global reported a mixed bag. While Paramount+ notched subscriber growth and a modest profit, this was offset by losses in other divisions. This continues to be a conundrum for the big media companies, as streaming services are just now starting to reach “profitability” with gains that fail to improve the bottom line due to the declining traditional TV side of the business. This is not sustainable, as the ugly truth is that without the cable networks and the infrastructure that supports them, the streaming services wouldn’t have any content. If those declining cable channels disappear, the associated streaming services inherit the content production cost, which likely puts them back in the red. Solutions exist, yet walled garden apps have to come down to bring back 50%+ profits to the industry. #NextGenStreaming #FreeCast #NoMoreAppDiving #YouBundle #EndtheStreamingChaos https://lnkd.in/g8ptmHhM

William (Bill) Mobley: Tech Firms Outcompete TV Manufacturers in TV OS Wars. The largest connected TV platforms are Roku, Samsung’s Tizen, and Amazon’s Fire TV. These large tech firms each have a big edge over operating systems from TV manufacturers, such as LG’s WebOS and Vizio’s SmartCast. Those are the only manufacturer platforms that even registered in the study by Parks Associates, with Google TV, Apple TV, PlayStation, and Xbox also holding small market shares. Samsung is the only manufacturer whose strong TV sales seem to be translating into CTV platform market share, although they’re a giant technology firm with a long history in Android devices and PCs. Amazon, Roku, and Google each license their platforms to other hardware makers, which are available on stand-alone set top hardware in addition to smart TVs. While a TV OS that fits within a larger tech ecosystem can enhance a user’s experience, it doesn’t seem to be a big driver of TV sales, as most consumers seem to find any smart TV platform good enough, as they all support the major SVOD apps and some form of FAST channel service. What consumers have been denied is a unified platform. In addition to searching for content, viewers may also be confused about where to find the content they want to watch. For example, 40% of U.S. households are confused about where to find content even if they know what they want to watch. Proposed Solution: A Non-Competitive, Agnostic "OmniChannel Streaming Platform" — a unified, à la carte service for TV entertainment, accessible across all devices without the need for multiple apps. Imagine a "Spotify for TV" that consolidates everything in one place, removing the complexity for consumers, just as Spotify did for music. The wait may not be that much longer!
