Video Channel Growth: The Outer Limits? |
|
Not only is HD the newest wave in content production, but so are ethnic and specialty channels for a wide variety of audiences. But how many channels are enough? Numerous studies have shown that most people watch the same five or ten channels eighty percent of the time. So why do you need packages with 500 or more channels to choose from? This may be the old cliché that variety is the spice of life run amuck, but where do all these channels come from, how does the content get to the TV screen, and just what is the untapped potential for new channels? Is the "variety" limitless or at one point does the industry reach saturation when every sub-sub-niche has its own specific program. And what is the future of the existing channels? Does everything go HD, or is SD sufficient for the majority of channels? And what of the different grades of broadcast quality? When is HD truly HD or just a spruced up SD channel? This panel will help to define the boundaries of channel growth so as to bring greater understanding to this key segment of the satellite industry, assuming such boundaries even exist.
