Definition

ATV is a new form of advertising �that allows advertisers to address the right message to the right household

Linear TV = context based

ATV = audience based

Interest

from a broadcasters’ point of view

  • Re-create value vs. inventory scarcity & necessity to reduce advertising pressure

Use Cases

Nick Piggott

30 of 55

Use Case #1

As a broadcaster I want to replicate the geographical targeting of advertising I have across individual FM transmitters into a larger digital radio coverage (single frequency network)

31 of 55

Geo-targeted advertising

West�97.2MHz

North�96.6MHz

East�96.8MHz

South�97.0MHz

DAB�Single Frequency Network

or

Use "coarse" geo-information (GPS, Mobile Network) to locate and geo-target receivers

32 of 55

Use Case #2

As a listener I want to hear localised information about traffic and weather when I am listening to a national radio service

33 of 55

Localised Content

National Radio Network

or

Use "coarse" geo-information (GPS, Mobile Network) to locate and geo-target receivers

34 of 55

Use Case #3

As a broadcaster, I want to offer the same kind of personalised advertising to broadcast radio listeners that we can offer online

35 of 55

Use Case #4

As a listener, I would like to switch the current song with one I like more, and then go back broadcast when it's finished

36 of 55

Personalised / Targeted Content

Broadcast Radio Coverage

or

Use "coarse" geo-information (GPS, Mobile Network) to locate and geo-target receivers

Use personal information (through login?) about a user to target content to be delivered

37 of 55

Existing Use Cases

The method to replace audio is the same

The data used to decide which audio to replace differs

  • Coarse location information
  • Detailed location information
  • Passive user data capture
  • Active / detailed user data sharing (login)
