Then the Company has filed its responses to this notice and has also deposited a sum of Rs. 610.8 million under protest pending final resolution of the matter.

INDUSTRY

 

The Indian media and entertainment (M&E) industry is one of the fastest growing industries in the country. Its various segments—film, television, advertising, prints media and music among others have witnessed tremendous growth in the last few years. The industry grows with each passing day and plays a significant role in creating awareness on many issues that impact the masses. India's population which is over 1.2 billion give the M&E industry in India a tremendous opportunity for growth. The alignment of entertainment, information and telecommunication is increasingly affecting India's overall M&E industry. Launch of more advanced media devices over the last decade has facilitated access of the same content on a variety of media platforms. This is helping in emergence of new business models and revenue streams, not only for content providers, but also for a variety of new players becoming a part of the new media ecosystem. With all these factors well in place, the M&E sector certainly is marching towards new horizons of growth. Evolution of sophisticated digital production and post-production techniques, along with the factors such as entry of international corporate houses across the film value chain, growth of digital distribution and exhibition, primarily through increasing penetration of multiplexes are majorly influencing the sector in India. Moreover the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) introduced several initiatives with a view to harness the power of technology and create a framework to drive growth in the existing broadcasting landscape in India. Regional media in India has demonstrated strong growth over last few years and continues to have a positive outlook. Given the size and diversity of the Indian market, media owners and advertisers are increasingly adding a regional element to their strategies. As a result, regional markets have grown in size and importance. Key media players are focusing and expanding their presence in regional markets based on higher rates of advertising revenue growth, and better insulation from the slowdown.

 

In television industry several regulations including the ad cap and notifications around aggregators were announced, that will likely change how the industry does business. Digitisation has yet to deliver its promise with set top boxes seeded in Phase I and II cities but with packaging and ARPU increases yet to kick in. The future looks promising, with efforts being made to introduce channel packaging, implement subscriber management systems and raise the ARPU initiatives that are likely to benefit all the stakeholders in the television ecosystem.

 

The Radio industry outperformed all other traditional media segments. Currently, clients are being forced to evaluate their media mix as their advertising budgets are constantly under pressure. There has been a tendency to shift focus from nationwide pure brand-building to more tactical, local, focused promotional targeting.

 

Sun TV Network Limited (Sun Network) maintains its dominant position in the southern states of India as one of the largest television and radio entertainment Company in India with a portfolio of Satellite Television Channels spread across four languages and in genres of GEC, news, music, action, life, movies, kids and comedy. Sun Network also has a large network pan India in the FM Radio broadcasting segment along with its subsidiaries. Sun Network continues to consolidate its leadership position, built over the years, by fortifying its hold over key aspects of pricing and access to quality content. Sun Network has a distinct advantage in the southern regional markets on account of its insightful understanding of the regional preferences and with key competitive strengths including that of a large movie library of regional languages. Sun Network is the preferred choice for content providers as it is the only player with maximum reach in the areas it operates.

 

OUTLOOK

 

Sun Network with its presence across genres like general entertainment, movies, music, news, kids, action, and life and with a dominant market share in the four southern states of India (Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh) ensures continued and sustained viewership and prominent role in the Media and Entertainment Industry. A steady flow of highly popular programs and a dominant share of audience viewership have given the network tremendous pricing power vis-a-vis competitors.

 

The drive initiated by Government towards digitalisation and addressability for cable television would help Sun TV Network, being the largest regional television network to be one of the major beneficiaries of the recent growth in the DTH space, it is expected that this new stream of revenue for the Company arising from the increased DTH subscriber base in South India would maintain a positive momentum in the coming years.
