After many months of work, I am pleased to announce that the 2011 Big Broadcast Survey (BBS) has been completed, and that reports from the study will be published soon.

If you’re not familiar with the BBS, it’s an annual demand-side study of the global broadcast industry. BBS reports help readers improve their strategic decision making, customer engagement, marketing strategy, product planning, and sales execution.

More than 8,000 broadcast professionals in 100+ countries participated in the 2011 BBS, making it by far the largest and most comprehensive market study of the broadcast industry.

Three types of reports are available:

  • The BBS Global Market Report is the broadcast industry’s first global demand-based study of the purchasing habits of technology buyers.  This report examines industry trends, major projects being planned, products being evaluated for purchase, current and future plant infrastructure and operational structure, broadcast technology budgets, and HD upgrade plans for a wide variety of products.

 

  • BBS Global Brand Reports are available for more than 100 broadcast technology vendors.  These reports provide deep insight into how each company is perceived by the market, along with comprehensive benchmarking of broadcast technology vendors on a wide variety of metrics, through a series of league table rankings

 

  • Twenty-six separate 2011 BBS Product Reports provide detailed vendor brand ranking for individual product categories. These reports enable users to benchmark their brand directly against specific competitors through a detailed understanding of the opinions of technology buyers who purchase, specify or use each product type.  

.

If you would like information about these reports and how they can help your business, please get in touch.

In addition to these paid-for reports, we will also be publishing highlights from the study on the Devoncroft website.  These articles will be posted on a semi-regular basis, so please check back often.   

You’ll also be seeing information from the 2011 BBS in a wide variety of other industry websites and trade magazines.

The tables below show the product categories and broadcast technology vendor brands covered in the 2011 BBS.

Devoncroft Digest: A Busy Week for Broadcast Technology Suppliers

In a week when many in the broadcast industry were busy following up from the NAB show (and quite a few volcano-stranded travelers still struggling to make it home from Las Vegas),  there was quite a bit of activity among broadcast suppliers.

Here are a few highlights:

* Barco reported that the company has “returned to profitable growth.” In the company’s earnings announcement, CEO Eric Van Zele said he is “cautiously optimistic” about the remainder of 2010.  The company also published a 20 page quarterly report in e-book form.

* Avid reported their Q1 FY10 earnings this week.  Losses narrowed on y/y revenue improvement, but the stock was still downgraded by JP Morgan.   Avid also announced that it has completed the acquisition of audio console vendor Euphonix, which was announced last week at the NAB show.

* Storage vendor Isilon released their Q1 FY10 numbers, which saw revenue increase 5% sequentially and 46% versus the previous year.  The company’s stock shot up on the news.  Isilon also filed its 10Q with the SEC.

* Wegener was delisted by the NASDAQ and will now trade on the OTC BB

* Privately held UK-based broadcast systems integrator TSL was ranked #77 in the Sunday Times “Profit Track 100.”  According to the poll, the company’s profits have grown at 47% to £4.28m.

* Harmonic was sued by Arris over VOD patents
