The New Face of Broadcast industry
New Digital Broadcast Ecology
• Disruptive, and Evolutionary
• New broadcasting value chain segmented into two:
• broadcaster and
• signal distributor and multiplexer
• New services/new Business models
• New regulatory practices & procedures Required
• A new digital mindset: for regulators & operators
Digital Switch-Over – Plan Nigeriana
The following Policy Decisions were taken by Government in the implementation of
the Transition from Analogue to Digital Broadcasting in Nigeria:
 There will be a separation of functions in the Broadcast Industry,
 The Broadcaster will be responsible for the Content of the Broadcast
while
 A Signal Distributor or Carrier will be responsible for the Transmission
of the Signals to the Viewers at home
 3 Signal Distributors or Carriers are to be Licensed, one of which is
to evolve from the Nigerian Television Authority – NTA,, known as
ITS
 NBC already licensed 2nd BSD
 Digital Content Offering: Offered BON/IBAN Consortium
Freeview/Freesat License for FTA content brand aggregation
 The Transmission Standard shall be the DVB-T2 Format with MPEG-4 AVC
Compression Format.
 Set Top Boxes to enable existing Analogue Television Receivers to
continue Receiving the Digital Transmission after the Switch Over Date will be
manufactured in Nigeria.
Managing the SwitchOver: NBC’s challenge
• NBC to effectively manage this change &
limit its impact ..
• On the Broadcast Industry & stakeholders.
• & Provide focused attention on the overall benefits of the digital switch over
to the broadcast industry, and the nation at large.
• Four key elements for success:
• Broad stakeholder involvement, deep collaboration between and amongst all
important key players, especially of existing analogue broadcasters, government
and regulators as well as advertisers, content producers, etc;
•
Focus on the benefits of the new digital broadcasting ecosystem to each
stakeholder group, and the National economy
•
Funding to drive process, and;
•
Effective focused leadership and change management by Regulator/Govt.
