Bell Media's television performance in the 2014/2015 season was unprecedented, with CTV growing ratings by 11% while competitors like Global, Rogers, and CBC saw declines. CTV won every prime time hour except Saturday and had 14 of the top 20 shows. The document discusses the president of Bell Media from 2010 to 2015 overhauling management at CTV, acquiring Astral Media, growing revenue through new content deals and productions, and leading the industry in ratings growth and revenue/EBITDA increases through both organic growth and acquisitions. Analysts praised Bell Media's strong execution and performance that outperformed expectations.
The acquisition of CTV by Bell led to the creation of Bell Media, which now generates over 50% of the industry's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and cash flow. Bell Media's television broadcasting operations account for 80% of the company. In the 2014/2015 television season, Bell Media's network broadcast ratings on CTV and CTV2 grew 11% while competitors Global, City/Omni, and CBC all saw declines. Bell Media also outgrew the rest of the Canadian broadcast industry in absolute specialty channel viewing.
'DAB Digital Radio Switchover In The UK: Q&A' by Grant GoddardGrant Goddard
The document discusses the digital radio switchover in the UK and provides answers to common questions on the topic. It makes the following key points:
1) There will be no switchover to DAB as the dominant radio platform, as the government has abandoned plans for a DAB radio switchover.
2) The push for DAB radio was never consumer-led and ignored consumer behaviors and preferences.
3) Investment in DAB radio has significantly harmed the UK radio industry by diverting funds away from content production.

Which?, a UK consumer advocacy organization, published a briefing paper in February 2011 titled "Digital Radio Switchover in 2015? Consumer Led Or Not At All". The paper argued that the transition to digital radio in the UK must be consumer-led, not industry-led, in order to succeed. Which? set out several criteria that must be met before a digital radio switchover date can be announced, including minimum DAB uptake levels, coverage equivalent to FM, and DAB being standard in new cars. However, the UK government's current digital radio policy does not fully align with Which?'s consumer-focused recommendations.

The document discusses CBC's plans to expand its mobile app capabilities to better reach youth audiences and establish long-term listening habits. It notes that 61% of Canadians listen to internet audio for over 7 hours a week and streaming is increasingly popular, especially among younger demographics. The proposal suggests a partnership with Bell Media to develop a new app that would provide customized, exclusively Canadian content while allowing local user interaction and curation. This would give Bell access to usage data and enable targeted mobile advertising to help make the app financially sustainable.

- LTE plan prices have generally decreased since December 2013, though some operators increased prices or reduced data allowances.
- Innovative service offerings remain limited, with operators focusing more on price competition.
- Average per GB prices varied significantly by country and data allowance amount, with prices generally higher for smaller data buckets.

The document discusses several topics related to future media technologies:
1) Cell phone technologies are advancing with touchscreens, internet access, apps, and changes like morphing designs and color-changing cases. HD radio allows AM/FM stations to broadcast additional digital programming.
2) The movie and video industry contributes over $16 billion to California's economy and is expanding to other states. Major studios produce hundreds of films annually alongside many independent productions.
3) Television is transitioning to HDTV while DVRs allow time-shifting of live programming. Streaming online content from networks will grow in popularity. The future of media technologies remains focused on portability, interactivity, and accessing more content on more

This document provides evidence from Grant Goddard to the Select Committee on Communications regarding digital switchover of radio broadcasting in the UK. Goddard believes complete digital switchover is unlikely due to factors such as the robustness of the existing FM radio system, shortcomings of DAB that is intended to replace FM, and lack of consumer interest in DAB. While television viewers were dissatisfied with limited analog choices and willing to pay for satellite content, radio listeners are satisfied with FM choices and there is no evidence they will pay for exclusive digital content. As a result, FM radio is likely to remain dominant, supplemented by internet radio for specialized content.

This document summarizes the state of digital radio in the UK, focusing on the Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) platform.

Recently many digital-only radio stations on DAB have closed down or reduced services. The viability of the two national DAB multiplexes, operated by Digital One and the upcoming Channel 4 multiplex, are now in serious question as the commercial radio groups reduce their commitments to DAB. The future of DAB and digital radio is uncertain, with a government working group tasked with addressing the issues.
