The Impact of TV Everywhere?

"It’s doing exactly what pay-TV providers have hoped it would do… it’s cutting churn and leaving customers more satisfied with their overall service. Some 28% of pay-TV customers were more satisfied with their service (compared to 24% a year ago), and 33% said they were less likely to change providers, and improvement from 25%.

The real winner may be hybrid TV offerings. GfK said that among consumers who have a pay-TV service AND streaming services, 39% said they’re less likely to change providers and 35% are more satisfied with their pay-TV service." Read about the the study, “How People Use Media: TV Everywhere/VOD,” from GfK and the of the post here.

Social Television: How Social Media Changed The Way We Watch TV

"Social media has revolutionized the way we watch television. In the past few years, social media and Internet usage around the world has skyrocketed. Despite initial fears from some professionals in the TV industry who wondered if social media and the web would drastically reduce the amount of time people might spend in front of their television screens, the television industry has actually been able to effectively adapt to meet the needs of today’s social-savvy viewers. In fact, more Americans—and more of the world—are now turning to their TVs to watch shows and programs that offer unique, socially integrated viewing experiences.

In the following infographic, we’re outlining a few recent examples that illustrate how social media has changed the way television is made and watched, how social media is playing a role in televised political elections, how it is being used as a way to boost audience participation in popular voting shows like The Voice, and what’s in store for the future." via Visual.ly and BlueHost.
