Welcome to Pan-Regional TV in Asia 2009, the launch initiative of ATAC, the Asia Television Advertising
Coalition, an industry alliance dedicated to generating new advertising revenue streams for subscription
television across 15 Asian markets with 315 million Asian subscribers.
ATAC, working with CASBAA consultants Julie Petersen and Craig Harvey, has been specifically designed
to support media buyers using regional TV.
The stakeholders in ATAC, all leading members of the Cable & Satellite Broadcasting Association of Asia
(CASBAA), are Turner International, Discovery Networks Asia, Sony Pictures Entertainment, FOX Networks,
STAR Group, CNBC Asia, Bloomberg Television, National Geographic Channel and NBC Universal. As
media research sources continue to develop and improve across the region, advertisers and agencies
are better able to demonstrate the value of subscription TV in the media mix, specifically to reach
specific target audiences and high-worth consumers.
However, Pan-Regional TV in Asia 2009 comprises much more than input from broadcasters. At the
heart of this guide lies vital analysis provided by the advertising agencies, our clients and the research
organizations who recognize that television of all kinds will remain a vital part of the Asian media scene
for decades to come.

subscribers in 32 countries with 21 feeds and programming in 10 languages.
The breadth of Discovery’s brands enables advertisers to effectively reach their
customers while targeting different demographics. We believe in providing

Subscribers to pay television make a personal financial commitment to watching

better programming, and this correlates strongly with their willingness to spend
on other products and services. Bloomberg Television's audience of decision-

proposition for international marketers. In addition,

Through the Agency Prism
As the chill winds of economic downturn blow across the region, advertisers
and their media agencies are evaluating and re-evaluating investment
decisions in a process driven by a focus on value, flexibility and effectiveness.
The pan-regional television networks offer a host of attributes which position
them well to meet the challenges posed by client needs in this climate, and
which will continue to position them as important communication platforms
into the future.
From a value perspective, the pan-regional channels demonstrate an ability Matthew Turl
to stretch investments across multiple formats. In addition to conventional Regional Client
Services Director -
television delivery, online and increasingly mobile are offered along with ZenithOptimedia
capabilities to create events which bring advertiser and consumer face to
face. Their ability to tailor on-screen content around an advertiser message
and offer their own personalities as part of a package to enhance that
message adds significantly to the level of value on offer.
T
he flexibility of multiple channels,
delivering segment and interest-
specific content is compelling, as
the pursuit of relevant and empathetic
environments is also a driver of advertiser
investment decisions.
ZenithOptimedia’s own proprietary study, TouchpointsTM illustrates the
continuing ability of television to influence brand choice across Asia. The
pan-regional channels, high-profile and influential brands in themselves,
combine this power with the ability to deliver millions of consumers across the
region. Case studies and new initiatives to substantiate their effectiveness
will only add to these compelling credentials.
Through the Agency Prism
As penetration of cable, satellite and IPTV continues to grow across Asia, the
pan-regional TV brands' ability to reach valuable audiences across multiple
platforms is now more than ever an important part of the advertiser's media
mix.
The pan-regional TV channels' innovative and creative solutions to our clients'

advertising needs is a testament to the investment the networks continue to
make in their people, who really have an in-depth knowledge of television

ith continued investment

in content and consumer
understanding, the regional TV
sector will carry on growing.
Regional TV is the ideal media for an advertiser who wants multi-market

coverage with a limited budget. However, it goes much further than that.
Regional TV media owners are often much more open to being creative
than their local equivalents. This can manifest itself in content creation, cross-
platform deals and beyond. The fact that the effort and investment put into
these projects is being spread over multiple markets makes it easier to justify.

Subscription
Television in Asia
Penetration for subscription TV now stands at 315 million households across Asia-Pacific or 44% of all TV
households, an increase of 24 million homes compared to 2008, and an 8% year-on-year increase. While
China and India are driving growth in Asia-Pacific, countries such as Pakistan, Thailand and Vietnam are
also contributing high numbers of new subscription homes.
Subscription TV appeals to both the masses and affluent targets. According to Synovate PAX, which
covers 10 million affluent Asians across 10 countries*, regional TV has the ability to reach 3.8 million of these
high-value individuals that regional print simply cannot.
As technology, leisure time and the individual's demand for more choice increases, so does the ongoing
demand for subscription and multi-platform TV solutions. Subscription TV is evolving to a world of advanced
interactive services and applications to meet the needs of the consumer at home and outside the home.
This audience for subscription TV is more affluent, more receptive and more likely to respond to advertising
messages. The more sophisticated the audience becomes, the more sophistication they expect.
Subscription TV continues to deliver innovative content that keeps pace with the demands of its audience.
Subscription-TV viewers are likely to be the first to buy new products or gadgets, reflected in a higher rate
of ownership of plasma and flat-screen TVs, hybrid mobile phones, PDAs and MP4 players.
A recent study by the Council for Research Excellence shows that, despite the growing popularity of
viewing television content online, most adults still prefer to watch television on traditional TV sets.
The share of viewing by subscription-TV channels and the potential reach of the medium vs other
traditional media options continues to grow at a faster rate than subscription-TV household penetration.
Driven by the ability of both network broadcasters and platform operators to deliver niche channels to
specific audiences provides advertisers with increasingly cost-effective marketing solutions.
In terms of advertising expenditure, television remains the dominant medium of choice for advertisers.
According to agency data, television accounted for 56.4% of all advertising expenditure in North Asia
and 54.6% in ASEAN in 2008.
The introduction of satellite and digital TV, as well as viewing live programming via the Internet and mobile
TV, is bringing considerable change to TV audience measurement. With increased viewing opportunities,
more commercials and a greater choice of programming, the industry needs reliable information now
more than ever.
* PAX 2008: all markets except Tokyo

There is no doubt that TV provides a platform for effective
audio- visual presentation of a message. For international
brands, pan-regional TV enables an efficient means to
reach out to multiple-market audiences with consistent
voice.

CASBAA Audience Clusters
Broadcasters and media agencies often use cluster analysis to target specific groups of consumers who
cannot be defined in simple demographic terms.
Using the Telmar Cluster program, CASBAA has conducted an analysis that groups people together into
similar attitudinal and behavior types.
The analysis is based on time spent viewing any international channel in the past week, ownership of high-
tech items and personal attitudes. It covers all PAX markets except Tokyo and was based on the Q1-Q4
2008 database.

Twice a year we update our global forecasts for measured media spending
in a report we call 'This Year, Next Year'.
Given the current economic turbulence it seems that many companies are
thinking more along the lines of 'This Week, Next Week'. 2008 saw a small
growth in overall advertising spend across Asia-Pacific, with a drop in Japan
spend that was more than made up for by significant 'Olympic' growth from
China.

spend, and an incredible 62% spend in China. The outlook for 2009 is
understandably cloudy right now, but we are forecasting a modest drop in
total revenues across the region, with China seeing slight growth, TV holding
its share of total spend, and internet spend to continue with double-digit
growth.

TV on Mobile
Ever-evolving mobile handsets, Smartphones and improving network data
speeds have stirred up people’s appetites for richer entertainment and
information services on their mobile phone.

Improving technology and great operator experience are proving to be the
catalyst in driving not only increased adoption but more importantly, greater
programme viewership.
The industry has woken up to the reality that well-established, popular TV brands
add significant credibility to the mobile-TV offering. Basically, branded content
Eric C. Mallia sells!
Managing Director,
Brand Tectonics Asia
For example, Hong Kongers have an insatiable appetite for news and finance. So
it’s no surprise to find most subscribers watching live, 24-hour news and finance
channels on their mobiles from the likes of BBC World, CNN International, Bloomberg and CNBC.
A host of other branded channels from the traditional subscription-TV arena have found their way on to
mobile too, Animax, E! and Cartoon Network to name just a few.

Winning mobile-TV propositions are those that have paid particular attention to the customer-viewing
experience. Mobile TV has got to be very different, but at the same time borrow from traditional TV
content. Innovations such as remote-control-like consoles for ease of use, allow viewers to interact with
certain channels and content. An example of this is being able to bet on horses or download a music
video for storage on the handset. An electronic programme guide that allows the user to plan their
viewing and receive reminder SMS alerts is also driving growth.
Now that the mobile industry has begun to make headway with mobile TV, what further stimulus is needed
to really achieve critical mass?
Of course, programming and content has to continue getting richer, more inventive and in some cases
exclusive for mobile. At the same time, a move towards revenue share for many channels will continue.
The operators must continue to invest in network quality, capacity and speed, as well as product
innovation.
Mobile operators must further build brand equity in their mobile-TV propositions too, to form a closer
emotional bond to their viewers. This will enable them to better convince customers to subscribe without
having to continually erode prices and therefore margins. In addition, the operators must continue to
engage and stimulate customers to form deeper and wider viewing habits. Operators can still learn
many lessons from their terrestrial counterparts – they must become smarter and sharper in spotting
trends, gaining insights and marketing “in the moment”.
The future for mobile TV will be bright if all are willing to invest resources.

Australia
The number of subscription homes in Australia continues to rise, standing at 31% in April 2009. The share of
subscription viewing in national-subscription TV homes averaged 59% in 2008 and increased to 61% in the
first quarter 2009, reaching 5.6 million people every week.
Australia's advertising market was worth A$13.6bn (US$9.4 billion) in 2008, an increase of 3.7 per cent over
the previous year. Revenue in the online advertising and subscription-TV markets rose by 27.1 per cent
and 15 per cent respectively, while revenue from metropolitan terrestrial TV advertising was down 2.4 per
cent.
The three major subscription-TV players are FOXTEL, Optus and AUSTAR, accounting for the majority
of subscription-TV homes. ASTRA is the industry organization representing over 100 channels on these
platforms.
FOXTEL’S iQ2 and iQ are now in 540,000 households, 24% of subscription-TV households (as at
March 2009). Subscription TV launched 10 new channels in 2008 (five of which
are HD), with 20 new channels to be launched this year.
Audience measurement is owned by OzTAM and conducted

by AGB NMR. The OzTAM national-subscription panel measures
viewing in subscription-TV homes (including viewing to free-
to-air) whilst the metropolitan panel reports ratings for all TV
homes in the five metros. Finally, the regional TAM TV service
reports ratings for the five aggregate markets.

China
China is the world’s largest TV market with over 380 million TV households and a cable penetration of 43%,
reaching more than 160 million homes. Digital penetration will reach around 70% of cable homes within
the next five years. International channels are only granted full landing rights in Guangdong Province
or certain hotels and foreign residential communities throughout China. However, foreign-programme
blocks are distributed via locally owned channel partners delivering strong audience figures.
Despite the Olympics, TV dramas continued to dominate Chinese television in 2008, accounting for 24.1%
of the content broadcast on all TV channels and 33.9% of audience ratings.
Ad revenues grew by 15% in 2008, up from 9% the previous year. According to CTR, TV took the lion’s
share of ad revenues at 76%, an increase of 16% year on year. CTR forecast the market will grow between
5% and 8% in 2009 with Toiletries, Business, Beverages and Pharmaceuticals as the top four advertising
categories.
CSM Media Research operates the world’s largest TV and radio audience-measurement panel, covering
the 1.3 billion people in China with access to TV. The operation covers 228 individual markets (comprising
the national entity, 26 provinces and 201 cities), with 178,800 panelists participating in the measurement
of over 1,336 main channels every day of the year using a combination of diaries and Peoplemeters. CTR

Hong Kong
In Hong Kong, broadcasters TVB and ATV dominate the TV landscape with just four terrestrial TV channels.
However, the two major players in the subscription-TV arena, Hong Kong Cable and NOW Broadband TV,
have now reached over 70% of the total TV market and are attracting a sizeable audience share.
In 2009, the TV universe consists of 2,230,000 households including 1,596,000 subscription homes. CSM
recorded an increase of about 8% in time spent viewing subscription TV in 2008. Overall share of viewing
still hovers around 20% in all TV homes, rising to 36% in subscription-TV homes. Figures also show an increase
in adults 35+ and those in more affluent homes.
admanGo reports that total advertising in Hong Kong reached US$317 million in 2008, a 12.1% increase
year on year. HSBC, McDonalds and GSK were the top advertisers whilst Banking, Pharma and Toiletries all
showed strong growth. TV and newspapers still capture more than half of the media revenue combined,
making up 35% and 31.1% respectively. Interactive expenditure is still very low (delete comma) at 3.56%.
Advertising revenue to subscription TV is calculated to be around US$45
million annually.
Audience measurement is conducted by CSM, which monitors

all available channels via a 650-TV-homes Peoplemeter panel
(approximately 2,000 individuals) reporting minute-by-minute
channel viewing.

India
Subscription-TV penetration continues to grow and now reaches 85% of urban India. The most recent
estimates of subscription-TV penetration are 90 million connections, 64% of all TV homes. The Indian TV
industry has an outlook that the rest of the region can only marvel at. In the DTH space, over 2.5 million
subscribers are being added every quarter.
TV sustained a 40% share of advertising spend in 2008 and is expected to maintain that level. Forecast
growth in TV-ad spend for 2009 is 7%. Advertisers seem divided on how they will utilize the media mix but
TV and digital will continue to erode print’s position as the number one medium.
According to TAM’s Adex service, in the past ten years, there has been an 89% rise in the number of
advertisers using television, with Hindustan Lever maintaining the number one spot. In an increasingly
fragmented environment, the top ten advertising sectors contribute 45% of overall revenues compared
to 76% in 1999.
State broadcaster Doordashan’s share of viewing in households is falling and, although the subscription
landscape is dominated by Hindi General Entertainment, viewing of pan-regional international channels
across all India remains robust at around 10%.
Audience measurement is dominated by TAM Media Research with a Peoplemeter panel of 8,000 homes,
making India one of the biggest TV-audience panels in the world.

Total subscription-TV users were estimated at just under 1.2 million as of Q1 2009. There are three main
players, with a further nine companies with subscription-TV licences. DTH operator Indovision holds a 68%
market share but overall growth is slow, combined with a high churn factor and the declining value of
the rupiah.
According to GroupM, TV remains the dominant advertising medium, accounting for 63.3% of total
revenues, around US$1.6 billion in 2008, and forecast to rise to nearly US$2 billion in 2009. The Internet has
been slow to take off at only 1.9% of total.
TV audiences are measured by AGB NMR but the subscription-TV panel is limited to Indovision
and is exclusive to that platform. According to AGB NMR, in the 10 cities monitored,
the total TV population is 43 million individuals with a subscription-TV universe of
445,000 monitored by 150 Peoplemeters.
Synovate’s PAX survey is restricted to Jakarta but the data shows that 34% of
the top tier of society have access to subscription TV and 21% are watching
regional channels on a daily basis. Nielsen’s Media Index covers nine cities
and reports an 82% weekly reach in subscription TV homes.

Until recently, the major ad agencies relied on the massive media reach of terrestrial networks, but are
now starting to take cable and satellite media more seriously.
According to Dentsu, total advertising expenditures declined for the first time in five years in calendar
year 2008 by 4.7%. Spending was comparatively strong during the first half of the year, but was down
during the second half despite a boost from the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
Terrestrial-television advertising expenditures fell by 4.4% as regular programme sponsorship and spot
advertising declined. Falls were recorded in most major categories such as Finance/Insurance, Beverages/
Cigarettes and Information/Communications.
Satellite media-related advertising expenditures increased by 12.1% in 2008 but still only represent 1% of
total advertising expenditure.
Dentsu-controlled Video Research first introduced Peoplemeter services to measure

cable and satellite TV in Japan early in 2008. These ratings are not widely released.
Media research in Japan is limited due to the prohibitively expensive cost of

conducting such research. PAX provides a welcome, though not
totally extensive, insight into the market and, amongst its highly
affluent respondent base, reflects a subscription-TV audience
that travels extensively internationally with a far higher monthly
household income than the average respondent.

Malaysia
Growth in subscription TV remained robust in Malaysia in 2008 with 2.65 million homes or 50% of TV
households subscribing to digital satellite services from the Astro platform. The share of viewing for
subscription TV in Astro homes rose to 75% in 2008 and represents about 35% of viewing of TV.
Malaysia’s advertising market in 2008 grew an overall 13% to finish the year at RM6.2 billion (US$1.7 billion
rate card). This was thanks to strong performance in the first half of the year, which helped to counter the
effects of the economic slowdown in the second half.
Television ad spend hit RM2.2 billion (US$600 million) for 2008. Increases were driven by growth from
categories such as Mobile Interactive Services, Mobile Line Services, Toothpaste and Tonics/Vitamins.
Subscription-TV airtime is mainly sold by Astro or, in some cases, by the individual channel’s dedicated
sales teams. There is a 10-minute-per-hour limit on commercials and some restrictions on content such as
alcohol and tobacco.
Advertising revenues reached RM150 million (US$43.92 million) in 2008, around 12% of total TV-advertising
revenue and growth projections remain strong.
‘All TV’ audience measurement is conducted by AGB NMR via a Peoplemeter panel of 1,000 homes.
However, there is some discontent in the advertising community regarding the size of the sample measuring
subscription TV. Currently, 400 Peoplemeters are measuring over 110 channels in a very diverse market.

New Zealand
SKY is New Zealand's pre-eminent subscription-television company and continues to be one of the fastest-
growing subscription-TV networks in the world. As of December 2008, SKY had 764,069 subscribers. SKY is
now in 53% of New Zealand TV homes.
The SKY platform accounts for 90% of subscription-TV users, and TVNZ has recently announced that its two
formerly free-view exclusive channels, 6 and 7, will now be available to SKY subscribers, along with HD
versions of TV One and TV2.
Terrestrial broadcasters are gradually losing viewers to the SKY network’s subscription-TV platform. TVNZ
has been worst affected, dropping from 63.5% in 2002 to 51.9% in 2008. There are 60 channels available
and, in 2008, television-viewing habits hit an all-time average high: three hours and eight minutes a day,
up 8.6% on the year before.
In 2008, total television-advertising turnover in New Zealand dropped just over 1% to US$1.33 billion. Radio
lost US$3.5m and newspapers, while still the top earner overall, lost US$38.2m.
AGB NMR has provided television-audience measurement services

to the New Zealand broadcasting and advertising industries on a
continuous basis since the introduction of competitive television
broadcasting in 1975. A nationally representative panel sample
of 500 homes is equipped with Peoplemeters.

TV viewership has undergone an amazing transformation since the arrival of satellite TV, and is currently
available in about 45% of all TV homes.
Channels are accessed mainly via cable operators at a relatively low cost. In the past five years, TV
viewing has risen considerably and varies dramatically by region. Increased availability at a relatively
low cost has also led to higher consumption of satellite channels of both local and international origin.
In a recent survey conducted by Gallup, 35% of respondents claimed to have watched STAR Plus in the
previous week vs a 57% reach for subscription TV in all TV homes. In subscription-TV homes, channels such
as STAR Plus and Geo News regularly reach 60%.
Total advertising-expenditure revenue has increased by 10% in the last fiscal year from Rs22.76 billion
(US$289 million) to Rs25.05 billion (US$318 million). This is significantly lower than the 62% increase in 2005-06
and the 32% increase in 2006-07.
TV ad spend (revenue) has increased by 13% (from Rs10.55 billion to Rs11.91 billion), around 47% of total
ad spend in the last fiscal year. This is also lower than the 88% increase in 2005-06 and the 55% increase in
2006-07. In terms of share of spend, however, TV’s share has increased by just 1%.
Medialogic has installed a panel of approximately 600 meters across Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi and
Islamabad to gauge second-to-second viewership data for more than 4,000 individuals residing in
metropolitan Pakistan. Medialogic has teamed up with Telecontrol GfK to bring Peoplemeter technology
to Pakistan.

Philippines
The subscription-TV industry in the Philippines remains a market of considerable potential. There are 14
million TV households, but only about 1.2 million households legitimately subscribe to subscription TV. An
accurate estimate of the total number of subscription-TV households is, however, difficult to come by
because of chronic under-reporting by operators. Government charges are levied on the number of
viewers, so it is in the operators’ interest to downplay their viewing figures. CASBAA estimates that as many
as 1.7 million subscription homes exist in total.
Group M estimates gross advertising expenditure at US$1,038 million. Of traditional media, TV takes the
largest percentage of revenues at 77%, with print at just 6.8%.
TNS Media Research Philippines officially released its national television-audience measurement data
in February 2009. The panel, composed of 1,370 representative households, covers urban Philippines
and reports on seven sectors. AGB NMR also maintains a Peoplemeter panel of 1,720 homes monitoring
programmes and breaks for 11 free-to-air channels and 25 cable channels.
Synovate’s Media Atlas Survey has been in the field since Q2 2006. Coverage is across
the Greater Manila area and covers the majority of the population across all
social groups using a combination of face-to-face interviews and CATI. The
PAX survey covers the top end of the market and highlights the tendency of
an elite group of cable subscribers to partake in the finer things in life such as
foreign holidays, LCD TVs and designer gear.

StarHub remains the leading subscription-TV platform, carrying more than 150 channels. The Media
Development Authority has made it mandatory for subscription-TV operators to carry free-to-air channels,
giving free-to-air TV an automatic foothold in this market. While StarHub carries the entire suite of
MediaCorp's TV channels, SingTel's IPTV service Mio TV carries MediaCorp's HD5 (High Definition TV). Mio
TV also launched its VOD service in August 2008. Customers are now able to watch the latest episodes of
US prime-time shows within 24 hours of US broadcast.
Data shows that subscription TV achieved a 38% share of all adult (25+) viewing, reaching nearly 50% of
all TV homes by end 2008.
Advertising spending in Singapore fell 6.4% in the last quarter of 2008 year on year. According to the
Nielsen Company, total ad spend for TV, print, outdoor and cinema, but excluding Internet, in those three
months amounted to S$525.1 million (US$364.2 million), down by S$35.8 million (US$24.8 million). Amid the
global recession, some experts predict this year's advertising budgets may shrink by 15% to 20%.
Audience measurement is provided by TNS Singapore. Data from the panel shows the audience tending
towards a male upscale. Total cable viewing reached 39% of upscale adults every month in 2008.
Synovate’s PAX survey also shows an upscale profile to subscription-TV audiences.

South Korea
In South Korea, subscription TV is now available in almost all TV homes, reaching 17 million households, or
97%.
Nielsen reports ad revenues in South Korea fell by 50% in the first two months of 2009, with TV, radio,
newspapers and magazines suffering significant declines. According to Nielsen, TV-advertising revenues
in January and February were US$80 million down from US$200 million a year ago.
Print media also suffered heavy losses, with newspaper expenditure falling from US$393 million in the first
two months of 2008 to US$152 million in the same time frame this year. Magazine advertising was also
down from US$33 million to US$13 million, and radio-marketing spend fell from US$26 million to a total of
just US$7 million.
Advertising revenues for subscription TV are the highest in Asia but estimates and definitions vary wildly
across markets and differ by source. Industry estimates of subscription-TV revenues for 2008 are just under
US$1.2 billion.
The PAX survey suggests that, for any regional campaign trying to target South Koreans, subscription TV far
outperforms any regional print option, with 68% reach in the past month, 42% in the past seven days and
16% yesterday. In comparison, regional print reach ranks at 8% for all publications.
Both AGB and TNS provide audience measurement for up to 300 TV channels. Viewing to subscription TV
is significantly younger with a skew towards male audiences. Channel share (TNS) for young adults (16-24)
in cable homes tops at 48%.

Taiwan
At 93%, Taiwan claims one of Asia’s highest subscription-TV penetration rates. It is also one of the most
complicated markets for commercial airtime trading. With the exception of the top-rated programmes,
most deals are conducted on a cost-per-rating basis.
Subscription-TV viewing has over three-quarters of audience share, 79% in all TV homes, rising to an 86%
share of viewing in subscription-TV homes. Subscription TV’s share of viewing is consistently high across all
demographic groups, but significantly peaks among business professionals. Male professionals have the
largest audience share of 90% in all TV homes, which increases to 93% in subscription-TV homes. There is
also a bias towards a younger audience, especially the 20- to 29-year-old segment.
AGB NMR (Taiwan) has been providing TAM data to the industry since
1994, currently based on a panel of 1,800+ TV households (or 6,500+
individuals) distributed throughout the country. The panel includes
1,600 subscription-TV homes and covers 77 channels. Commercial
spots are logged and there are many sophisticated software solutions
available for planning.
Because of the high penetration, subscription-TV profiles are fairly

flat, although Synovate does conduct the PAX survey in Taipei which
shows that 96% of all respondents have watched a regional cable or
satellite channel in the previous month. Ownership of luxury items is
also very high as are financial-services and priority-banking products.

Thailand
The subscription-TV market in Thailand is growing at a phenomenal rate, more than doubling in the last
two years and currently standing at approximately 22% of all TV households. The penetration rate of cable
TV in Thailand should reach 35% by 2012.
Piracy continues as a major problem for the subscription-TV industry in Thailand. The market is divided
between the only fully legitimate operator (True Visions) with around 1.2 million homes in 2008 and local
cable and satellite making up the balance.
Thailand ad spend shrank in 2008 to US$2.27 billion last year from US$2.34 billion in 2007, with all media
except radio and transit seeing declines. TV media dropped by 4.4% to US$1.3 billion.
A breakdown by TV stations shows that individual broadcasters still reported positive growth and the
decline was largely the result of the removal of the commercial TV station iTV in 2008.
Top spenders were Unilever, Procter & Gamble, Toyota Motor Thailand and L'Oreal (Thailand).
AGB NMR measures audience data from a panel of 1,200 homes and has recently released some data
relating to viewership of local cable. No viewing data is available at present but local surveys such as
PAX, Media Atlas (Synovate) and Media Index (Nielsen) show that the profile of viewing is upscale and
younger than average.

Vietnam has the second-youngest population in Asia, with 60% under 25. Subscription-TV penetration is
growing at a phenomenal rate, reaching over three million homes at the end of 2008.
TV is the dominant medium, accounting for 72% of all ad spend in monitored areas. In 2008, the share of
viewing reached a record 37% for young men (16-24) in subscription-TV homes; all the more astonishing
compared to just 2% in 2004. The audience profile is skewed towards the upscale with young men
accounting for the largest share of viewing across all segments followed by upmarket men at 31%.
The TNS Media Habit Survey is a comprehensive study covering all types of media – television, radio, print
and Internet – and is offered twice a year for four key markets, Hanoi, Danang, HCMC and Cantho, and
once a year for Haiphong and Nhatrang. Product penetration and consumption are also much higher
in subscription-TV homes with a higher consumption of luxury items such as digital cameras (29%) and
personal computers (59%).
Audience measurement is conducted by TNS Media Vietnam in the six major cities, although subscription-
TV homes’ penetration varies enormously by city, with Ho Chi Min the highest at 74.8%. Continuous
television-audience measurement (TAM) is available in four of the key markets in the
country: Hanoi, Danang, HCMC and Cantho. In addition, a TAM service is
offered once a year for Haiphong and Nhatrang.
