MEDIA & ENTERTAINMENT

The Media & Entertainment (M&E) industry consists primarily of 14 major segments. These segments include:

• Filmed Entertainment
• TV Networks: Broadcast and Cable
• TV Distribution: Station, Cable, and Satellite
• Recorded Music

The forecast for the global M&E market is estimated at $1.8 trillion by 2009 from $1.3 trillion in 2004. The Filmed Entertainment segments global forecast is estimated at $119 billion by 2009 from $84 billion in 2004 and the Television Distribution forecast is estimated at $210 billion by 2009 from $146 billion in 2004.

The M&E industry has been pursuing new avenues and premium-services in an effort to increase revenues and lower costs by executing a variety of tactical initiatives such as new airtime-models, advertising, subscriptions, cost per-session fees and new content licensing & publishing models. But such initiatives are just not enough to increase revenues and sustain growth due to a slew of business challenges such as complex pricing models, content & territory and media rights, complex licensing, publishing, financing costs, profit participations & residuals models and the enabling technologies.
