Panel: Setting the right framework and building a robust news ecosystem Subscription revenues and advertisement revenues have traditionally been the only sources of revenue for channels. With the onset of digitization, what are the other sources of revenue that can be exploited? In a crowded and extremely competitive news industry such as ours, how do news channels ensure balance? How can we ensure a robust news ecosystem in which each player can thrive? The next phase of DAS is expected to be flagged off from April 2013. In this scenario is the current framework that the news TV industry operates in good enough to encourage an ethical news TV business model? Does it need strengthening? Has DAS reduced carriage fees for news TV? Do we need another iteration or correction of DAS following the lessons the industry has learned over the past year? Is the current TRAI proposal to restrict airtime helpful or harmful? Do we need to make some changes in the way self regulation is being done? There are issues of corporate investments in TV news networks; cross media restrictions; interested party investments. A panel examines this apart from several other issues. Moderator: Paritosh Joshi Invited Panelists: Ashok Venkatramani, CEO - MCCS India |

Panel: Differentiating Prime Time News TV shows/content Primetime today has come to be characterized by the anchors who host the news shows on their respective channels. In fact, the anchor and his/her approach itself has becoming the differentiator for prime time news and draws viewers by the droves. What are the benefits? What are the pitfalls? Does this augur well for the news channels themselves? For the TV news anchors? A look at this trend. Moderator: Preet Dhupar, COO India, BBC Global News Invited Panelists: |
