VOD GROWING BIGGER BY THE DAY

The integration of TV and internet is surely giving birth to revolutionary high breeds like the VOD (Video On Demand) services that have taken over like nothing short of a rage for the people who simply swear by it. If there is the IPTV Youview that is dominating the market big time, then the other leading broadcasters like Sky and Virgin have also come up with VOD services of their own.

Sky has already started with its Sky Anytime Plus VOD and even Virgin Media is out with its TiVo presentation. Amidst all this there are indie film makers who are trying to make the fullest use of this platform since they majorly have to deal with budget constraints. This is since they are getting lesser and lesser theatrical releases and DVD sales. One may as well see signs of this already beginning to happen. Weinstein Co purchased as many as 25% stakes in Starz Media which was got from Liberty Media Corp. An entrepreneur, Mark Cuban owns an independent and relatively small Magnolia Pictures. Even he is trying his hands out with the VOD format. They have actually potently released films on the VOD format before even the film sees hitting it to the theaters. The company is thus looking at doing so more and more in the coming times.

Looking at the combined growth in market shares of the top six studios, it has not been as impressive as it should have been. People spending on Theatre tickets as well as purchasing DVDs are going down in numbers. At the same time, Apple Inc iTunes Stores or for that matter even Amazon.com Inc. has seen a growth of a solid 16% in 2010 and touched the $683 million mark. For once, it can be safe to say that the production houses are looking at getting greater revenues from the medium of VOD on the near future.
