RE:Radio InterviewInteresting indeed. Wagner comes on at 17:00 and the interview concludes at 32:00. The discussion centers on digital streaming versus broadcasting (tv) and the monetization of media rights, currently assessed at about $20 billion. One element that is still being developed by various entities is how to quantify digital versus broadcast viewing time in order that advertisers can watermark their spend on each platform. Neulion is working with Nielsen on such a measure. He also discussed the differentiation between the packaging of live events by the networks versus the digital programs and why the former may be dropping in favour of the latter. This also applies to archived events, for which there is little interest for the broadcast version but much more for the streamlined digital version, which can be tailored to the viewers’ wants. Wagner mentioned one thing that was surprising to me. He said that the subscription model, which includes things as mundane as bowling (amongst the 68,000 events that Neulion streamed last year) and which no one seems to value too highly…may generate revenues of $100 billion worldwide by 2019. Neulion is seeking to capitalize on that, given their broad global footprint. Lastly, he discussed on demand programming, which younger people seem to prefer and which is easier for the digital platform to provide in a compelling format. Given Neulion’s partnership with both the media rights holders and with the leading technology companies, the foregoing would suggest that Neulion is going to prosper as all of this unfolds.
