The report has found that broadcast rights for film, sport and TV formats and
series together generate some $40 billion in revenues globally each year. The
report's author Adam Thomas says, "The rights market has now returned to
some stability following the collapse of Kirch, which sent shockwaves through
the business. That upheaval, combined with the demise of the network premiere,
has radically altered the prices being paid for content and the types of deals
being struck. Free-to-air channels now prefer to buy single titles, rather than
sign up to output deals which bundle in mediocre content of little interest to
their viewers." |
