Enabling targeting through selection of viewing channels and slots between specific programme
Role model advantage: here the advertisers have celebrities as endorsers. Celebes are role models of the youth and the youth always ape to be like them Creation of AIDA: advertising in TV attracts Attention that creates an Interest and Desire that can lead to Action in the form of final purchase.
order to make the campaign successful TV ads have to be supported with other media like print or radio. Ads are very short to provide any detail information. Statutory controls: the TV ads have to adhere to the I&B rules. Surrogate advertisements have been banned
Static media, not suitable for product demonstration Potential for poor reproduction, sometimes limited to black and white print Quality of paper used is not very effective and reduces the attractiveness of ads Possibility of an individual advert being lost on a page of adverts Short-life span, i.e. yesterdays newspapers become todays rubbish Informal reading: people may skip ads Radio Mass use of radio by audience, particularly in cars on the way to work and home. 90% of India has access to Radio which is unmatched by any other media Very effective for reaching the large rural audience.

Cinema
The Indian film industry, with over 3 billion admissions per annum, is the largest in the world, in terms of number of films produced per year. This industry, which was worth US$ 2.12 billion in 2006, is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 16 per cent to US$ 4.42 billion by 2011. The opening of the film industry to foreign investment coupled with the granting of industry status to this segment has had a favourable impact, leading to many global production units entering the country. For example, Walt Disney has partnered with Yash Raj Films to make animated movies, the Warner Group is funding the Sippys' film projects, Viacom has joint-ventured with the TV 18 group to form Viacom-18, and Sony Pictures Entertainment has co-produced Saawariya with SLB Films (Sanjay Leela Bansali FIlms). Simultaneously, advancements in technology along with a rise in consumer income and change in consumption patterns has led a massive shift in all spheres of the film industry -- production, exhibition, distribution and marketing. One perceptible change has been the rapid growth of multiplexes, which meets consumer demand for quality entertainment and has also helped boost production of niche films targeted at niche audiences.
Television
The television industry in India is currently at its prime, contributing the largest share in the total media and entertainment industry in the last three years. While India is the third largest cable television market in the world, the penetration levels of pay TV is still low which promises a huge untapped potential for growth. A report by PwC estimates that the Indian television industry's revenue will grow at a CAGR of 22 per cent to US$ 13.11 billion by 2011 from US$ 4.82 billion in 2006. The buoyancy of the Indian economy coupled with new distribution platforms like DTH and IPTV among others is likely to propel the growth of this industry. Significantly, there has been an increase in the growth of digital distribution platforms like DTH. A report by Ernst & Young estimates that by 2010, 28 per cent of the estimated 100 million pay TV households are likely to switch to digital platforms, with DTH at the top.
Music
12
The Indian music industry, which until recently was overwhelmingly dominated by film music, is now being propelled by non-film music as well. According to the PwC report, the Indian music industry is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4 per cent from US$ 1.81 billion in 2006 to US$ 2.19 billion in 2011. Significantly, the share of digital music is likely to increase, with an estimated growth rate of 25 per cent. Digital music sales exceeded physical sales of music for the first time in 2006, primarily driven by mobile phone platforms like caller ring back tones, ring tones and music clips. The surge in mobile sales has helped India emerge as one of the world's largest markets for mobile music. According to the Cellular Operators' Association of India, the size of the mobile music industry is likely to grow to around US$ 170 million by the end of 2007, from about US$ 115 million in 2006.
Radio
The cheapest and oldest form of entertainment, reaching 99 per cent of the population, this segment is likely to see dynamic changes, with the advent of private players (including foreign participation). Presently, 30 odd radio companies, having license to operate 266 private FM radio stations across 91 cities within the next 12 months, have already invested US$ 884.33 million. Simultaneously, the number of operational FM radio channels reached 120, by the end of October 2007. According to industry estimates, India will have 600 stations (250 All India Radio and 350 private) in 100-odd cities, this year. Looking ahead, this segment is likely to see a robust CAGR of 28 per cent, growing from US4 1.26 billion in 2006 to US$ 4.29 billion in 2011.
Advertising
The Indian advertisement expenditure is doubling every five years, boosted by robust growth in television and print campaigns, says a report by London-based Zenith Optimedia, the media planning and buying arm of advertising group Publicis. After growing at an average of 13-15 percent in the last three years, the Indian advertising industry is estimated to grow 61 per cent by 2010, with advertising spending growing from US$ 5.74 billion in 2007 to US$ 9.28 billion by 2010. Simultaneously, the share of advertising expenditure is likely to increase from 0.5 per cent of GDP in 2007 to 0.53 per cent of GDP in 2010. 13
The advertisement industry recorded robust growth in the current financial year. While television advertisement volumes recorded a growth rate of 33 per cent during the January-September 2007 compared to the same period in 2006, print advertising grew by 21 percent during January-September compared to same period in 2005.
Others
Segments like print media, animation and gaming are also likely to see interesting growth rates. According to Nasscom, the Indian gaming market is likely to grow 72 per cent from US$ 48.51 million in 2006 to US$ 429.54 million in 2010. Similarly, the Indian animation services industry is likely to grow at a CAGR of 25 per cent from US$ 354 million in 2006 to US$ 869 million in 2010.
Going Global
With the growing popularity of Indian content in the world market in general and South Asians in particular, Indian entertainment industry players are venturing abroad to tap this booming segment. For example, in the films segment, in 2007, of the top 20 foreign films in UK, 14 were Indian. These were part of a total 69 Indian films that constituted 13.7 per cent of all releases. In fact, according to a report by CII-AT Kearney, the share of international markets in total box office collections is estimated to increase from 8 per cent in 2006 to 15 per cent in 2010. Consequently, many domestic players like Yash Raj Films, RelianceAdlabs and UTV among others have set up distribution arms overseas. Not only films, other entertainment content areas like music and television also have a huge potential international market. One recent estimate puts the total value of Indian content sold overseas at over US$ 200 million. Further, this number is expected to grow over 20 per cent every year.
Government Initiatives
The Government has initiated major reform measures, which has had a cascading effect on the growth of the industry. Permitting 100 per cent foreign direct investment (FDI) through the automatic route for film industry and advertising. Allowing 49 per cent foreign holding in cable TV and DTH. Allowing 100 per cent FDI in non-news publications and 26 per cent FDI in news publications.
14
The FM radio sector was opened for FDI with a 20 per cent cap. Permitting setting up of uplinking hubs for satellite uplinking by private TV broadcasters from the Indian soil. Giving industry status to the films segment. Opening FM Radio operations to the private sector.
Global Majors
International media giants are all vying for a stake in the segment. In the last three years (2004-06), US$ 89.18 million of FDI has flowed into the sector. Sony Online Entertainment is all set to open a game development studio in India. Crest Animation Studios Ltd's US subsidiary, RichCrest Animation, had entered into a co-production and co-financing deal with Lions Gate Entertainment. Walt Disney has acquired UTV Software's Hindi-language childrens' channel Hungama. UK's Financial Times has acquired a stake in the Business Standard newspaper. Dow Jones owns a 26 per cent stake in The Wall Street Journal venture in India. Reliance Entertainment has struck an exclusive deal with the GWC, the IPR holders of iconic viewing and observation structures such as the London Eye and the Singapore Flyer to develop and operate great wheels and observation platforms.
With such investments flowing in, the media and entertainment industry is likely to grow at twice the rate of India's GDP. Consequently, the industry is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 18 per cent from US$ 11.03 billion in 2006 to US$ 25.26 billion by 2011.
