SESSION 3: Technology Innovations: Driving Broadcasting to New Horizons

Day 1 – Tuesday 24th May 2011, 1130 – 1230

With stiff competition and demanding audiences, broadcasters are using social media to generate content and create excitement that will attract and retain viewership. Twitter, Blippy, You Tube, Flickr, Blogs, MySpace and Facebook are changing how viewers are developing their own personal broadcast and getting engaged with media and the community. Are TV programmes, particularly in news and public affairs, adapting well to social media? What are some winning strategies to engage viewers who can now create their own content, read information and watch programmes on their own time? What are their implications?

Day 1 – Tuesday 24th May 2011, 1430 – 1600

As the broadcast industry migrates to digital, it is seeing technology shifts and innovations that impact audience reach, content production, and business models. Multiple delivery platforms are offering broadcasters new ways to interact and engage with audiences. How prepared are broadcasters in tapping technology innovations such as IPTV, open Internet television, HDTV, 3DTV, and mobile television? Is TV going to be the web or vice versa? Which one is appropriate and cost effective? Which one delivers maximum outputs?
