Industry wish-list<br />

Entity Wish-list Comment<br />

Broadcasters<br />

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 />

- Asheesh Chatterjee<br />

Chief Financial Officer,<br />

Reliance Broadcast Network Limited<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 />

“<br />

- Rohit Gupta<br />

President,<br />

Multi Screen Media Private Limited<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.
