Timely digitisation<br />
with addressability<br />
• There have been implementation challenges and<br />
delays in complete digitisation of four metros. At<br />
the same time, while boxes have been seeded in<br />
homes, these are not necessarily addressable.<br />
• Several broadcasters have indicated that timely<br />
digitisation along with consumer addressability is<br />
the most important development needed by the<br />
television industry.<br />
“<br />
“<br />
Complete and timely digitisation is<br />
foremost on any broadcaster’s wishlist.<br />

Move to CPT,<br />
rather than CPRP<br />
based system<br />
• Currently, the industry uses the CPRP metric to<br />
arrive at advertisement rates.<br />
• A CPT metric based system better represents the<br />
new C&S households added every year.<br />
“<br />
The industry should move from a CPRP<br />
to a CPT model. This will help niche<br />
genres a lot. It is also in-line with what<br />
the world is doing.<br />

Introduce pricing<br />
freedom<br />
• In the DAS regime, the government has regulated<br />
the retail pricing, and recommended a revenue<br />
share amongst various stakeholders in the value<br />
chain.<br />
• Strong broadcasters prefer pricing freedom in<br />
fixing consumer tariffs for different channels.<br />
Self regulation<br />
of advertisement<br />
inventory<br />
• While TRAI has mandated a maximum of 12<br />
minutes of inventory per hour of programming,<br />
compliance measures against broadcasters<br />
remains low.<br />
• Strong broadcasters would like to see the industry<br />
move towards self-regulation in advertisement<br />
leading to enhanced consumer experience and<br />
higher advertisement rates for the broadcasters.
