Advertising - Content or Clutter?
S102 Tuesday, June 7, 2:40 pm - 3:20 pm
As the business models of television change, the role of advertising is sure to change. Put in the right context, advertising has the potential to add value to content. It is clear that revenue obtained from various forms of advertising will increasingly represent a significant portion of an operators top line. This panel will look at the role of advertising in the success of operators providing bundled services. Panelists will discuss how advertising products need to be integrated across services, creating a greater value than stand-alone offerings of directory pages, Internet ads and television spots.
