I’m pleased to present the 531st edition of the VideoNuze podcast, with my weekly partner Colin Dixon of nScreenMedia.  

VideoNuze’s Connected TV Advertising Summit was earlier this week, and we spend the first half of this week’s podcast reviewing our key takeaways. Many speakers highlighted how central CTV is to their companies’ strategies and how a key goal is attracting TV ad budgets as linear TV declines. We also reflect on challenges that speakers raised and how they’re being addressed.

TV networks continue to aggressively pursue direct-to-consumer OTT services, and the latest example is Discovery+ which is planned for launch in early 2021. We discuss how, with an ad-supported version of HBO Max also on the horizon, plus other services, CTV viewing will continue to grow strongly.

I’m pleased to present the 530th edition of the VideoNuze podcast, with my weekly partner Colin Dixon of nScreenMedia.  

This week Colin and I discuss how both Comcast and AT&T, the 2 biggest pay-TV operators, are capitalizing on broadband’s rising tide to evolve their video businesses. Both companies’ CEOs spoke publicly this week about their strategies as consumers continue to shift to SVOD and AVOD services. We share our thoughts on their plans and what it means for the broader industry.

I’m pleased to present the 529th edition of the VideoNuze podcast, with my weekly partner Colin Dixon of nScreenMedia.  

This week Colin and I try to scope out whether Disney’s recent PVOD release of Mulan on Disney+ was successful. Disney was looking to both generate PVOD revenues and new Disney+ subscribers. Though it’s hard to discern from available sources exactly what the results were, it seems reasonable to conclude that Mulan wasn’t a home run. But it still seems like the right strategy for Disney to have pursued.

What does this mean for Disney’s next move in PVOD and PVOD in general as Covid limitations continue? Listen in to learn more.
