I'll be participating in 2 complimentary upcoming webinars that will be of interest to VideoNuze readers.

First, on Thurs, Sept. 24th, Colin Dixon, Senior Partner at The Diffusion Group and I will present "The Terror of Terminology: Demystifying Broadband TV." Colin is one of the smartest broadband analysts around, and we periodically compare notes on the market. In an effort to clarify some of the confusion we continually hear around certain terminology in the market, we're going to discuss 5-6 different concepts and try to clear away the fog. Expect a fun and educational conversation, with plenty of time for audience Q&A. Learn more and register.

Then on Wed, Sept. 30th I'll be participating in a Brightcove-sponsored webinar, "New Video Distribution Strategies - Taking Video Beyond the PC." Other speakers include Chris Little, Technology Director at Brightcove and Rich Ezekial, Director of Strategic Partnerships, Connected TV, Yahoo. Accessing online video on other devices like TVs and smartphones is one of the hottest areas of the broadband video landscape, and we'll be digging in to key trends, best practices and monetization opportunities. In particular, we'll hear specifics about Yahoo's Connected TV strategy. Learn more and register.

I look forward to seeing you on one or both of these exciting webinars!

Early bird registration will open soon. At the last VideoSchmooze in March, we had 270+ attendees, so if you're interested in joining us, I encourage you to register early to secure a spot.

Then on Monday morning, October 26th, VideoNuze will host its second "Broadband Video Leadership Breakfast" at the CTAM Summit, this year in Denver, CO. thePlatform is the lead sponsor of the breakfast, with Akamai, ExtendMedia and KickApps currently on board as supporting sponsors.

You can expect to hear an in-depth and data-driven discussion of TV Everywhere, walled-garden vs. open video distribution strategies, paid vs. ad-supported business models, changing consumer viewing preferences and behaviors, viability of "over-the-top" competition and recent technology/convergence device developments.

I look forward to seeing you at one or both of these exciting industry events!

Please join me for a complimentary webinar thePlatform is hosting next Tues, Aug. 18th at 10 am PT / 1pm ET, "How Broadband Video Players Can Align Business Requirements and User Experience."

Next Thursday, July 23rd at 12pm noon ET, I'm going to be moderating a teleseminar for CTAM, titled "Understanding Viewers' Multi-Screen Migration." We'll be digging into the impact of 3 screen (TV, PC, Mobile) user behavior and what the implications are for the cable industry specifically and the media industry in general. CTAM has recently released new proprietary research on 3 screen usage which we'll be using to guide the discussion. With broadband video consumption surging and the iPhone sparking significant mobile video interest, the teleseminar is very timely.

Panelists include Amy Banse, President of Comcast Interactive Media and SVP, Comcast Corporation, Dallas Clement, SVP, Strategy and Product Management, Cox Communications, David Evans, SVP, Broadband, Rainbow Media and Perkins Miller, SVP, Digital Media, NBC Universal Sports & Olympics.

The teleseminar follows a unique format; I'll be moderating from Fuse TV's studio in NYC in front of a live audience and the session will be uplinked via satellite for simultaneous viewing at over 35 CTAM chapter locations around the U.S. and Canada. Questions will be taken from both the studio audience and the remote viewers. It promises to be a fascinating discussion.

Below is the 13th edition of the VideoNuze Report podcast, for April 10, 2009.

This week will discusses lessons that the broadcast TV networks might draw from the decline of U.S. newspapers, in order to avoid a similar fate. It is based on this post from Mon, April 6th. Meanwhile, Daisy speculates on the question of whether, with the explosion of iPhone apps, we're starting to witness iPhone app overload. Coincidentally, this week comScore reported that the top apps are games (no surprise there) and that major media companies are not experiencing much success with the apps they've launched.

Below is video of last Tuesday night's VideoNuze Broadband Video Leadership Evening. Many thanks to PermissionTV for shooting and editing....As a reminder, my takeaways from the discussion are here. Enjoy!

A highlight of the this past Tuesday's Broadband Video Leadership Evening was our panel discussion with Albert Cheng (Disney-ABC Television), Daina Middleton (Moxie Interactive/Publicis Groupe), Greg Clayman (MTV Networks), Karin Gilford (Comcast) and Dan Beldy (Steamboat Ventures) sitting in for John Edwards.

As moderator, I was trying to listen to panelists' answers, formulate the next question, and scribble down notes. We'll be posting a video of the discussion soon, but in the mean time, here are a few of my key takeaways (also pictures are here):

For ABC, no economic parity for broadband-delivered shows vs. traditional on-air delivery yet, but progress is happening - Albert opened the discussion with an update on ABC.com's profitability. He said that broadband-delivered programs are profitable on a gross margin basis, but that they are not yet as profitable as when viewed on-air. He resisted using the "analog dollars, digital pennies" reference, instead saying it's like comparing "a teenager to a full-grown adult." (I'm still trying to decode that as well)

Albert noted that ABC thinks of itself as a multiplatform entertainment company, with numerous distribution avenues, not simply a traditional broadcaster any longer. That's a distinction that it believes will keep it from facing the dire situation newspapers are now in. Albert said that newspapers trouble began because they didn't pay sufficient attention to changing consumer behaviors and respond effectively, whereas broadcast networks are proactively trying to stay out in front. One example he provided is that in the U.S. where ABC's programs are available online, it has measured file-sharing at just 4% of overall views. Preempting the file-sharing alternative is big win for preserving its ad model.

Cord-cutting not happening, cable's subscription value proposition to grow - "Cord-cutting" or dropping your cable/satellite/telco service in favor of online-only viewing, has become part of the market's mythology. Even some cable CEOs have propagated it. Yet Karin echoed recent Comcast statements that cord-cutting is not yet happening in any significant way. Comcast (and others) will build more value into the subscription by offering online access to cable programming. That's a "natural extension to their business," which was a key theme I heard from all panelists. Cable networks should be excited about this plan, and Greg reminded us there's a strong "culture of collaboration" in the cable industry.

2009 will be a tough year for standalone aggregators - There was strong consensus on the panel that online-only aggregators will struggle in '09 (this was one of my year-end predictions as well). The reasons for this included not getting a big enough share of the ad pie, not having an existing business to grow from, not being able to differentiate, etc. This was a very hot space for investors just a year ago, now it looks like it's going cold.

The "democratization of video" only goes so far - The panel cautioned that the appeal of broadband's openness allowing everyone to be video producer and reach their audiences only goes so far. The realities are that it's difficult to build audience and generate ad dollars. A goal for many independent broadband producers will still be to get on TV, where most consumption happens. A side conversation I had with someone who's very involved with various indies confirmed much of this and predicted a shakeout in this space will be coming as well.

Broadband ad model has a lot of maturing to do - While the broadband ad model has come a long way, it has a lot further to go. Daina provided lots of insights on the challenges of shifting TV ad dollars to broadband. She noted that many agencies still split their online and TV media buying and research teams, making integrated pitches and pricing difficult. Greg described the "happy place" everyone is striving for where broadband ad revenues become large enough to really augment traditional ad revenues, but quickly reminded us that day is a long ways off. He and Albert agreed there needs to be more collaboration among content providers to demonstrate the value of the broadband medium.

There was lots more, but I'll leave it at this for now. If you attended and have other observations, please leave a comment!

Over 250 people came out last night for VideoNuze's Broadband Video Leadership Evening in NYC, with a great cross-section of media and technology companies in attendance. For me it was great to actually meet people in person who I've only known from email and phone exchanges.

A highlight of the evening was our panel discussion with Albert Cheng (Disney-ABC Television), Daina Middleton (Moxie Interactive/Publicis Groupe), Greg Clayman (MTV Networks), Karin Gilford (Comcast) and Dan Beldy (Steamboat Ventures) sitting in for John Edwards.

The panel covered a lot of ground including how broadcast networks are trying to achieve economic parity for online viewing vs. on-air viewing of their programs, if/how/when more cable networks' programming will find its way online, what changes must occur for advertisers to shift more of their spending to broadband video, why it's hard and getting harder for independent video producers to succeed online and why '09 is going to bring a shakeout to video aggregators.

Today I'm at the Media Summit (waiting now for the Jeff Zucker keynote interview), so I'll hold off until later summarizing my conclusions from the panel. I also have plenty of pictures, and we'll try to get the video posted shortly as well.

I'm looking forward to seeing many of you tonight at VideoNuze's Broadband Video Leadership Evening at the Hudson Theater in NYC.

We'll kickoff at 6pm with our "VideoSchmooze" networking reception, and then at 7:30pm we'll begin our panel discussion with Albert Cheng (Disney-ABC Television), Daina Middleton (Moxie Interactive/Publicis Groupe), Greg Clayman (MTV Networks), John Edwards (Move Networks) and Karin Gilford (Comcast) and me moderating.

The session is titled "Broadband Video '09: Building the Road to Profitability" and we have tons of topics to discuss. I'm looking forward to hearing all of the panelists weigh in with their insights and experience. There will be ample time for audience Q&A as well.

If you're planning to attend, I encourage you to come early, as there are over 290 people now registered, and it's going to be a bit chaotic. For those of you unable to come, we'll be recording the entire event and will post the video as soon as possible. I'll also try to share some key takeaways and pictures in tomorrow's VideoNuze email.

We're less than a week away from VideoNuze's Broadband Video Leadership Evening, on Tuesday, March 17th in New York City. There are over 230 people now registered and I expect it to be a high-energy evening of networking with industry colleagues and learning from our panel of top-tier digital media executives. (And yes, in honor of St. Patrick's Day, Guinness will be available at the bar...)

Lots of great media and technology companies will have people in attendance. In addition to the list I posted last week, companies represented include: Akamai, Babelgum, blinkx, Clearleap, Dolby, FAST, 5Min, Google, HealthiNation, Hearst-Argyle, Kaltura, NeuLion, Ogilvy, Sezmi, Starz, thePlatform, Tremor Media and many others.
