He asks him to clarify his company name, and Ring says Ring Digital can be found at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringdigital.tv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"RingDigital.TV.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RingDigital.TV.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cSo what does RingDigital.TV do these days?\u201d Fore-Siglin asks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPrimarily go-to-market and product marketing services,\u201d Ring replies. \u201cAnd one of the things that I do that\u2019s special, I do a quarterly research report. It\u2019s proprietary research. I research things that I want to find out about, and it\u2019s called <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringdigital.tv\/futureoftv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"FutureOfTV.Live\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FutureOfTV.Live<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d He continues, \u201cI try to dive into the TV user experience and what consumers want.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ring describes a recent survey that featured an open-ended question for Roku users asking about their favorite show. \u201cI got an incredibly interesting result out of it. I got a word cloud that taught me several things. Number one, not everybody has a favorite show. Some people do just dive in. They want to browse genres, for example. Of course people do have favorite shows, but also people confuse platforms. \u2026 And so this is a beautiful visual that teaches us to step back and think about the different clusters of people and how they sit down and watch TV.\u201d He\u2019s excited that his next survey has five open-ended responses as part of his 10 questions. \u201cAnd I\u2019m confident that we\u2019re going to have a different view of TV viewership out of these.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Studying FAST<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ring wants to learn more about the behavior around FAST channels. \u201cOne of the things that I think everybody in our industry is puzzled by is that none of us really know people that watch Samsung TV Plus. We know they\u2019re very high numbers. We know these services are generating a lot of viewership. And so in this next research report, I asked people that specifically selected Pluto, for example, what is your favorite channel on Pluto?\u201d LLMs make this process easier, he says. \u201cSo we\u2019re going to see where that leads us, but I think it\u2019s going to generate additional insights. And for FAST channel providers, they want to be able to distribute their content. And so the idea of opening up a new research path and new insights I think is really important for the industry. Everybody complains about not having data. And the truth is, with some effort, we can actually capture some really interesting data that can help drive business.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fore-Siglin replies, \u201cOne of the things that\u2019s intrigued me about FAST is, it came out of nowhere a couple years ago and then it seemed we had a massive glut of FAST. Are we on the cusp of right-sizing that or are we going to have a lot more niche FAST channels that are viewed by smaller and smaller groups of people?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ring ponders, \u201cI definitely think the lower end of the FAST channel curve is not as healthy as the very top providers. If you have a massive catalog and you just put out 20 channels with all your great stuff on it, you\u2019re going to make some money. So I do think there\u2019s a lot of content out there and there will be somewhat of a shakeup, but I don\u2019t think FAST is going away.\u201d He compares media history developments with the transition from radio to TV\u2014TV was \u201cadditive\u201d to radio. \u201cBut there are certainly a lot of people that would argue\u2014particularly some of the broadcasters that aren\u2019t all-in on FAST\u2014that this is an unhealthy behavior that we\u2019ve seen again and again where people rush to get some cash and then in a few years hence figure out that, wow, that other model was actually more profitable. But it\u2019s here to stay and we\u2019ve got to figure out how to use it and how to use it in conjunction with paid media,\u201d he believes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Terms Beyond FAST<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fore-Siglin wonders what to call the era we\u2019re in now, where \u201cyou could pay for a subscription and have no ads to now you\u2019re paying for a subscription and you still have ads. What do we call that? Because it\u2019s not free ad-supported, it\u2019s subscriber ad-supported.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ring says there\u2019s no set term: \u201cEven [with] FAST, some people think AVOD is included. Other people think, no, we\u2019re just talking about the linear streams. And you\u2019re a hundred percent right. It probably will become a little bit of a dated term over time as we all realize that you\u2019ve got no ads, some ads, [and] full ads stacks.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe example for me is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Amazon_Freevee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Freevee\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freevee<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,\u201d Fore-Siglin explains. \u201cFreevee was completely independent. The idea was, you watched it and there were ads in it. Then Amazon with Prime started putting ads in. Now they\u2019re rolling Freevee into Prime. Where\u2019s the differentiation there?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ring adds, \u201cRoku actually launched a service called <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/therokuchannel.roku.com\/browse\/howdy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"roku Howdy\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Howdy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is $2.99 a month, no ads. So [they\u2019re] zigging where everyone\u2019s zagging. And I think it\u2019s to your point that the term FAST might be dated, but I think if you ask folks in the FAST business, they will sort of speak to the fact that no, it\u2019s part of our business model and it\u2019s holistic.\u201d He continues, \u201cAnd some people also will talk about apps that they have where they\u2019re running linear channels inside those apps, but you can\u2019t access them without paying. So you\u2019re right, we\u2019ve got a million different models. It\u2019s very fragmented.\u201d Fore-Siglin builds on that by mentioning the experience his children have had\u2014they\u2019re used to on-demand viewing, but they do watch some content on linear channels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Predicting the Future<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fore-Siglin asks Ring to imagine two years into the future, when he\u2019s done more research. \u201cWhere do you think we\u2019re going to land in the industry at that point?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ring muses that there may be a top tier of 30\u201340 channels. \u201cI think on a lot of platforms you\u2019ll have hundreds of channels, but I do see a little bit of a shakeout, I would say.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fore-Siglin wonders if there will be aggregation models for the disparate channels, similar to cable, and Ring is noncommittal, noting that it\u2019s all up in the air due to consolidations and financial changes. \u201cI think the general consensus in the industry is that the big tech platforms are really, they\u2019re at scale, and if you\u2019re anything smaller, you\u2019re not at scale,\u201d he notes. \u201cBut at the same time, if you look at the internet, for example, everybody has a website. It certainly does make sense if you\u2019re publishing content to have something of your own app, something where you can have your own data and then also feed experiences to users.\u201d He does think \u201ca better bundle\u201d needs to exist. \u201cAnd so maybe we\u2019re headed towards that. \u2026 But right now, yeah, I have to admit there\u2019s a few too many choices. I think that\u2019ll narrow down a little.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fore-Siglin brings up the example of the NFL, whose content is split across different platforms; he\u2019s noticed that during a game, he\u2019ll see ads for other platforms besides the one he\u2019s watching. He wonders if the NFL is doing that to remind viewers to seek out games in different places. Ring isn\u2019t sure if that will be the norm. \u201cThe crystal ball is pretty hazy on how it all shakes out,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fore-Siglin brings the conversation full-circle: \u201cAnd that\u2019s why you do research, right?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAbsolutely,\u201d Ring says. Channels can use it to find out about their audience. Research complements the data they\u2019re already getting. He believes there will be increased usage of LLMs to do the research analysis\u2014\u201cit\u2019s a matter of cleaning it and making it apples to apples.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Gathering the Data<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fore-Siglin shares that he\u2019s been speaking to people about how to \u201cmassage the data to get it into a standardized form.\u201d He says, \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.streamingmedia.com\/Articles\/Editorial\/Short-Cuts\/Ex-Disney-Tech-Ops-Expert-Sarge-Sargent-Talks-AI-ML-and-Building-Better-Dashboards-171982.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"ai ml and building better dashboards\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Somebody<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> brought up a really interesting point. We\u2019ve had so many dashboards that were sort of dashboard overload. What you really need the machine learning system to do is take all that data and then build a custom dashboard on the fly that gives you what you actually want to see so that you\u2019re not having to compare five dashboards to each other to make a real-time decision.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ring has some words of caution: \u201cThe media business has always been winner-take-all.\u201d There\u2019s a \u201cnatural hits-driven dynamic that\u2019s going to happen in the business. And so it\u2019s one of those things, [that] the lesser-tier content providers are going to have to work harder to get big brands associated with it. You\u2019re going to have to work a little harder, provide a little more evidence, maybe take some risks,\u201d he notes. \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.streamingmedia.com\/Articles\/Columns\/Ad-Sense\/Doubling-Down-on-Live-Linear-Programmatic-Advertising-169125.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"doubling down on live linear programmatic advertising\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Programmatic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is great, but if the fill rates are too low, there must be better things we can do with that inventory.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fore-Siglin calls back to the original question they discussed: \u201cSamsung TV: How many people actually watch it? We see the numbers, but do we know somebody who watches it?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to this next report to see exactly who these people are,\u201d Ring says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Solving Consumer Confusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of confusion in this business from the consumer perspective. Another thing I found on this is, just [as] an example, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxsports.com\/live\/fs1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"FS1, Fox Sports 1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FS1, Fox Sports 1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, they do not have a FAST channel, and yet, they have Fox Sports, or there\u2019s some brand of Fox Sports that has a FAST channel, and they syndicate FS1. And then so people think they\u2019re watching FS1.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fore-Siglin shares, \u201cThere was a book years ago called <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Interface-Culture-Technology-Transforms-Communicate\/dp\/0465036805\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Interface Culture by Steven Johnson\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interface Culture<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by Steven Johnson<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. He was a Brown professor, and he posited that as medias get replaced by other medias, that the legacy media starts to reflect and mimic the newer media. And he gave examples of radio plays with sponsors and how that moved into television with sponsors in the beginning.\u201d He goes into other examples seen on the early internet, regarding niche sports, and with the Peacock takeover of the Olympics. \u201cIt\u2019s that tease to get you to go pay for their OTT platform when the over-the-air is essentially mimicking what the OTT is doing to a much bigger extent.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ring and Fore-Siglin continue to offer examples of content that starts on linear and moves to streaming or an app. \u201cThe key is to do it quickly and efficiently and get them watching. They\u2019ll still be pretty PO\u2019d, but if they get into the content and start watching it, then it fades away pretty quickly,\u201d Ring says. \u201cI think some of that is not intentional. It\u2019s because they\u2019re having game times that overrun. They have too many games on the schedule.\u201d He believes the services that make it the easiest for consumers to use them as their home base will be most successful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.streamingmedia.com\/Conferences\/Connect2025-Dec\/Default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Join us December 9-11 and tune in for more great conversations at Streaming Media Connect!
