Yet as they compete for $211 billion in global TV ad spend, how far do their interests match the television industry's? Broadcasters are developing Social TV integration to drive viewer tune-in and engagement, boosting live viewing and ad revenue. This means confronting Social TV’s challenges, particularly reaching mass audiences beyond the early adopters. Major advertisers want Social TV shows and interactive ad formats for innovative advertising. However, they also require Social TV providers to have scale.

Social TV startups are attracting millions of dollars of investment from media and tech giants such as BSkyB, Hearst, Time Warner and Google. How is this shaping the future of television? And which business models will prevail, for Social TV to build a profitable commercial future? Social TV is moving fast and organisations must move rapidly to realise its potential and remain competitive. Understanding the Social TV market, identifying key trends and adapting digital strategies have never been more important.
