A tip Disney executive told a
Congressional subcommittee Wednesday that a association does not need distributors to lift low-rated networks in sequence to benefit entrance to renouned ones. But a DirecTV executive pronounced there is an
element of bundling concerned in negotiations, including with invasion requirements.

“I’ve sealed 3 affidavits attesting to a fact that we do not occupy what is commonly
known as tying,” pronounced Ben Pyne, boss of tellurian placement during Disney Media Networks.

Without referring to Disney in particular, DirecTV Executive Vice President Mike Palkovic
said vast programmers offer a satellite user a singular cost for all of their channels (including internal stations). If it wanted to lift comparison ones, it would not be economical, he said.

“I consider that’s dictated … we finish adult with situations where even if we could emanate a package for consumers that was affordable, that usually had in that package enough
programming to support a cost indicate they would want, we’ll run afoul of invasion obligations in those agreements,” Palkovic told a subcommittee. “So we can do it, though we end
up possibly carrying to stop offering that package, or we have to compensate by a nose to a programmers for violating those terms.

“It’s not usually a restraining of all a channels. There [are]
penetration obligations on a some-more renouned channels that accumulate to a rest of a apartment of services. It’s a tough conditions currently to understanding with.”

The conference by a House Energy
Commerce subcommittee was directed during exploring reauthorization of legislation that impacts satellite operators DirecTV and Dish Network, though dealt with a accumulation of issues.

Amy Tykeson,
the CEO of a most smaller Oregon distributor BendBroadband, told a subcommittee that programmers are requiring operators to place networks on tiers that lift prices for customers. “I have
to put these channels in these wide-penetrated tiers, and business don’t wish them,” she said. “My packages are apropos approach too expensive, and it’s usually not satisfactory for my
customers.”  

As justification that is does not bundle, Pyne offering that 15% of wire systems usually lift ESPN and ESPN2, dual of Disney’s some-more renouned networks. (He might have
been referring usually to networks within a ESPN family, that also embody ESPNU and ESPN News, given a association also operates a Disney Channel, ABC Family and internal ABC stations.)

Walt Disney‘s (DIS) ESPN skeleton to pause a 3D sports radio channel by year’s end, traffic a abrasive blow to a nascent 3D TV market.

ESPN announced a preference in a Twitter post on Wednesday.

“Due to singular spectator adoption of 3D services to a home, ESPN is discontinuing ESPN 3D,” ESPN mouthpiece Amanda DeCastro pronounced in a statement. “Nobody knows some-more about sports in 3D than ESPN, and we will be prepared to yield a use to fans if or when 3D does take off.”

ESPN is changeable a resources to other services, including experimenting with ultra high-definition or 4K TV, she says.

The sports network launched a ESPN 3D channel 3 years ago this month, with a live broadcast of a opening compare of a 2010 FIFA World Cup.

The dwindle dispatcher for 3D radio now is 3net, a corner try of Discovery Communications (DISCA), Imax (IMAX) and Sony (SNE). It distinguished a second anniversary in February and is carried by DirecTV (DTV) and Comcast (CMCSA).

But it’s expected to be subsequent on a chopping block, says Phillip Swann, boss of TVPredictions.com.

“Discovery’s not unequivocally doing most (with 3D) anymore and now ESPN, that pronounced they were going to be in it for a prolonged haul, is gone,” Swann told IBD. “So what does it all mean? 3D was 3DOA. It was passed on attainment day one. Anyone with any common clarity knew it, given no one was perfectionist it.”

3D TV was pushed by a TV makers, not a video calm and use providers, Swann said. TV makers simply wanted to sell new high-end sets with a latest technology, he says.

Consumer wiring companies were prohibited for 3D TV in 2010 and 2011, though their unrestrained cooled as manufacturers fought over opposing record standards (active vs. pacifist glasses) and bemoaned a miss of 3D calm for home viewing. Hollywood studios eventually offering 3D cinema on Blu-ray Disc. But sales of 3D TV sets unhappy as consumers resisted carrying to wear special eyeglasses to watch TV and compensate some-more for content.

TV manufacturers such as Samsung, LG and Sony have given incited their courtesy to ultra high-definition television, that is 4 times a pixel fortitude of today’s HD video, and to Internet streaming video. It’s still early days for ultra HDTV, and there’s no calm for such sets yet. Streaming video use Netflix (NFLX) recently pronounced it’s operative on 4K TV.

Ultra HDTV expected will attain eventually given consumers have always elite a sharper, some-more picturesque picture, Swann says.

The shutdown of ESPN 3D is associated to Disney’s new operational examination of a sports programmer, that resulted in ESPN expelling scarcely 400 jobs, Variety reported.

ESPN 3D is carried by Cablevision Systems (CVC), Comcast, Cox Communications, DirecTV and Verizon (VZ) FiOS, among others.

Tells Congress that high-value calm depends on remuneration for carriage

By John Eggerton — Broadcasting Cable, 6/11/2013 11:49:47 PM

Disney Media Networks tellurian placement boss Ben Pyne skeleton to tell Congress that theretransmission agree regime is operative good as a approach to protection MVPDs recompense broadcatsers for a value fundamental in their signal–“the lion’s share of a many watched programs on television,” internal news and puncture information–and to concede broadcasters to continue to be means to yield peculiarity content.

That is according to Pyne’s prepared testimony for a Jun 11 conference in a House Communications Subcommittee on a reathorization of STELA, a law substantiating a mandatory permit for carriage of dependent TV hire signals.

“Quality calm is costly to produce,” he said. “Last year, we spent approximately $3 billion producing  programming for ABC and a owned stations.”

Pyne argues that retrans impasses are comparatively rare. “Over a years thousands of secretly negotiated agreements for retransmission agree have been reached with intensely few interruptions of service.”

Pyne pronounced Disney wants a programming to be carried by cable, satellite, and telco video providers, though also suggested there were other avenues.

As if expecting a doubt about broadcaster antithesis to a Aereo TV hire vigilance online delivery service, Pyne says that Disney is committed to improving a spectator experience, including creation TV stations accessible online around WatchABC, a just-launched use that allows viewers in New York and Philadelphia to watch their internal hire online, on intelligent phones and on tablets in their home market, a use he pronounced will enhance to other markets this summer. He pronounced Hearst also skeleton to launch WatchABC on a ABC affils.

He also forked to ABC’s partial tenure of Hulu, and a calm deals with Netflix, Amazon, Streampix and “even” X-box.

But while it has a lot of new play dates in a multichannel world, ABC still values that MVPD outlet, pronounced Pyne. “While all of these new forms of placement are vicious to a future, we continue to place a really high value on distributing calm by a MVPDs,” he said. “We trust that monthly video subscriptions purchased by a strenuous infancy of American households continue to be a extensive value.”

The pivotal to all those distributors, Pyne forked out, was that any allows for a lapse on investment.

We would adore your feedback!

Disneyland 2013 Update: Disneyland tickets might not be as costly as expected, even amidst a new Disney cost travel that has done one-day adult tickets cost as most as roughly $100 with tax. According to thesis park insiders, visitors looking to go to a park can find countless bonus deals accessible online.

The Disneyland sheet cost travel took outcome final week, and now tickets to both Disneyland and Disneyworld are some-more costly than before. A one-day adult sheet to Disney World jumped to $95 before taxation and $89 for children underneath 10 years old.

Disneyland tickets also increasing in cost by $5, so adults who wish to revisit a thesis park will have to compensate during slightest $92, while children compensate during slightest $87.

Despite a new cost hike, there are choice ways to squeeze Disney thesis park tickets during a reduce cost, according to Robert Niles, who is a editor from Theme Park Insider.

Niles suggested Disneyland visitors, “Don’t indispensably assume that a sheet cost that is being charged during a front embankment is a lowest accessible sheet price.”

Apparently, reduce Disneyland sheet prices can roughly always be found online, and Niles suggested, “The initial place to check is a park’s possess website.”

For people who wish to save income while visiting Disneyland, a central Disney website offers bonus deals in and with AAA or other certified sheet sellers.

Other than discounts that are accessible online, Niles also suggested visitors to check with a tellurian apparatus dialect of their jobs and for college students to ask for ignored tickets during a tyro kinship or credit union.

If people devise to revisit Disneyland during slightest several times a year, annual passes are a improved deal, given those passes not usually cover a opening fee, though also yield discounts on food, snacks, souvenirs, and parking.

According to Niles, “Two categorical areas where you’ll find parks charity discounts are military, and also people attending conventions. That’s one that gets ignored a lot.”

On Tuesday, Viacom and Amazon announced an extensive, multiyear understanding that includes extenuation Amazon disdainful rights to Nickelodeon’s preschool shows. The agreement, estimated to be value several hundred million dollars, is Amazon’s biggest streaming understanding nonetheless and signals that a exhilarated conflict for online rights has increasingly changed to television’s youngest viewers.

In April, Netflix pronounced it would concede a understanding with Viacom to expire. Then final month Netflix struck a understanding with a Walt Disney Company to benefit disdainful rights to tide Disney Jr. array like “Jake and a Never Land Pirates” and Disney XD’s “Tron: Uprising.” In 2011, Netflix introduced a “Just for Kids” menu with a preference of shows and cinema directed during children, or relatives looking to perform them.

That put vigour on Amazon to secure children’s programming for a Amazon Prime subscription service, that it hopes will contest with Netflix and Hulu in a streaming video market.

Amazon has a smaller streaming assembly than Netflix, though for Viacom a arrangement presents a event to have tie-ins with a consumer products that Amazon sells, like DVDs, “Dora” backpacks and “SpongeBob SquarePants” beach towels.

“They’re a really consumer driven association and they also bond a Nickelodeon calm to products,” Philippe Dauman, Viacom’s arch executive, pronounced in a write interview.

As partial of a understanding announced on Tuesday, Amazon also cumulative a rights to tide shows that are initial promote on Viacom’s Comedy Central and MTV, including some episodes of “Jersey Shore” and “Teen Mom 2.” But a pivotal to a agreement is creation Amazon’s Prime Instant Video subscription use a disdainful opening for pre-school-age children to watch aged episodes of shows like “Dora a Explorer,” “Go, Diego, Go!” and “The Backyardigans.” Since children do not mind reruns as most as adults do, deals for these forms of shows mostly cost reduction than array directed during adults.

Bill Carr, Amazon’s clamp boss of digital video and music, pronounced in a matter that children’s programming was “one of a most-watched TV genres on Prime Instant Video.”

In a minute to customers, Jeffrey P. Bezos, Amazon’s arch executive, pronounced a understanding gave Prime Instant Video some-more than 250 TV seasons and some-more than 3,900 episodes from Nick Jr., Nickelodeon, MTV and Comedy Central. “We have increasing by 55 percent a array of episodes accessible to tip Prime shows for kids,” Mr. Bezos wrote. The deal, he said, combined “400 episodes of new shows like ‘Team Umizoomi,’ ‘Bubble Guppies,’ ‘Victorious,’ ‘Big Time Rush’ and ‘Drake Josh.’ ”

Amazon Prime members compensate $79 a year for two-day giveaway shipping, monthly Kindle e-book rentals and video streaming. The association has pronounced it has millions of Prime subscribers though has declined to give an accurate figure. Netflix has 27 million streaming subscribers in a United States. Hulu’s subscription service, Hulu Plus, has about 4 million.

In a past, Viacom has had a difficult attribute with subscription video on-demand services like Netflix. After an astonishing ratings dump during a Nickelodeon channel final year, analysts partly blamed a bolt of aged episodes accessible to Netflix for cannibalizing a wire channel’s ratings. Children increasingly watch shows around streaming, though income from digital syndication deals still does not come tighten to that supposing by advertisers who compensate to strech viewers a out-of-date way.

In a entertain that finished Mar 31, promotion income during Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. rose 2 percent as a network rebounded with preschool audiences. Mr. Dauman pronounced a uninformed tube of shows had softened Nickelodeon’s ratings. As promotion income grows on a wire channel, Mr. Dauman has shielded deals with digital subscription streaming services as good for both parties.

“Our pursuit is to grow a pie,” Mr. Dauman said. “And carrying all these opposite income streams grows a altogether pie.”

Viacom will need to make an additional $125 million to $150 million in streaming deals in mercantile year 2013 to accommodate a idea of 10 percent associate growth, according to Bernstein Research.

Amazon has fast built a streaming use to contest with some-more determined services, namely Netflix and Hulu. The Viacom understanding is a latest instance of a online retailing giant’s swooping in to benefit streaming rights after deals with Netflix expire.

After Netflix declined to replenish a rights to renouned wire array like “Pawn Stars,” Amazon jumped in. In December, Amazon struck a understanding with Time Warner to benefit a disdainful streaming rights to TNT’s “The Closer” and “Falling Skies.” Netflix got disdainful rights to TNT’s “Dallas.”

Amazon and CBS have a understanding that will let Prime subscribers watch “Under a Dome,” a new scholarship novella array formed on a Stephen King novel, 4 days after episodes are promote on CBS commencement Jun 24.

Intel is peaceful to compensate large income to get calm onto a arriving TV set tip box. The company, according to Reuters, is charity to compensate a 75 percent reward to calm providers.

The chip builder is formulation on going low into digital media by releasing a set tip box that will tide radio and film calm after this year. One of a biggest jump for any association competing in a digital TV attention is distinguished deals with calm providers such as Disney, Time Warner, and Viacom.

Intel’s is reportedly courting CBS, News Corp, and Viacom for calm deals, according to Reuters’ sources who sojourn anonymous, though has nonetheless to indeed strike one.

Because Intel’s product is not launched yet, a association will be forced to compensate a reward for this calm because, simply, a calm providers don’t know how large of an assembly a shows will indeed get. Content providers mostly assign per subscriber per month. The premium, according to these sources, ranges between 50 to 75 percent aloft than final year’s normal subscriber fees, as supposing by researcher organisation SNL Kagan. Disney hold a record for a top per subscriber price final year during $5.15 per subscriber.

It’s a duck and a egg problem for Intel. It needs good calm in sequence to get subscribers, though it needs a lot of subscribers to get reduce prices on content.

Intel’s (INTC) talks to buy calm from media companies for a new TV use are advancing, and a chipmaker is charity to compensate as many as 75 percent some-more than normal wire rates, people informed with a talks said.

But Intel has nonetheless to tighten any programming deals, pronounced a sources, who requested anonymity given they were not certified to comment.

CBS, News Corp and Viacom have reached agreements with Intel on certain sum over how their calm would be distributed on a use a chipmaker skeleton to start after this year, one chairman informed with

the conditions said.

Comcast’s NBC Universal is stability a talks with Intel though a negotiations are not as modernized others companies, pronounced another source informed with a matter.

Intel has changed almost on subscriber fees it is peaceful to compensate given a negotiations began, one source said.

It has also suggested preventing viewers from skipping commercials on a initial run of a show, pronounced another source.

Representatives for Viacom, NBC, CBS, News Corp, Disney’s ABC and Time Warner declined to comment.

Media companies typically give improved prices to operators with some-more viewers, such as vast wire companies, and assign aloft prices to smaller or newer entrants. Since Intel’s TV use has nonetheless to start,

and therefore has no viewers, it can design to compensate a premium, all a sources said.

SNL Kagan, a investigate organisation that measures and publishes a normal subscriber fees wire and satellite TV operators compensate for radio networks, available final year’s tip fees were $5.15 per subscriber per month and were charged by Disney’s ESPN.

While it was not transparent accurately what amounts Intel had creatively offering for specific channels, sources pronounced a tech association was basing a 50 to 75 percent reward on listed normal SNL Kagan subscriber fees.

Having missed a mobile series and depressed behind in creation chips for smartphones and tablets, Intel comparison executives are fervent to be on a heading corner of destiny consumer technologies.

Intel sees a vital room as a intensity battleground, where a modernized chips, used in set-top boxes and to energy “cloud” information centers, can give it an advantage and assistance set a customary for other home party products.
