MIPTV Conference 2014: Multichannel networks-interaction stake claim to the future of TV

Stuart Dredge
The Guardian, Monday 14 April 2014

YouTube and the importance of 'fanbases' as opposed to 'audiences' came to the fore at the MIPTV conference in Cannes.

There are new fanbases to be found on YouTube for digital producers and traditional TV firms alike. YouTube loomed larger than ever before at this year's MIPTV programme market and conference, dominated since it was first held in Cannes in 1965 by broadcasters and producers but which now has a heavy input from multichannel networks (MCNs), digital producers and individual YouTubers.

Trends included a shift in the language and key metrics of YouTube. Alex Carloss, its global head of entertainment, suggested the online video giant's power is less about audiences and more about fans. "An audience tunes in when they're told to, a fanbase chooses when and what to watch. An audience changes the channel when their show is over. A fanbase shares, it comments, it curates, it creates," he said.

Michael Stevens of science network Vsauce agreed: "You can build a really big audience on YouTube: they show up, they listen. But a fanbase is going to subscribe and watch everything you make in the future, and tell their friends about you."

MCNs and YouTubers haven't stopped boasting about their view counts, but there was more emphasis on subscribers, comments and shares, and average viewing time for videos: a focus on how engaged YouTube users are, particularly teens and twentysomethings. TV producers are following the migration of these "millennials" to online video.

"Every year it gets harder to launch a successful show that attracts a younger demographic, so we have to find them elsewhere. Looking to digital content is crucial," said Keith Hindle, X Factor co-producer FremantleMedia's digital and branded entertainment boss.

This is fuelling new partnerships: Vice Media and Fremantle launched a food-focused online video channel called Munchies at MIPTV, for example, which eschews studio cook-offs and familiar TV chefs. "The reason young people are leaving TV is they don't do things like this: take chances, switch things up, and give the cameras over to 24-year-old kids. TV missed the boat on this kind of content," said Vice CEO Shane Smith.

MCN Maker Studios said at MIPTV that of its 380 million subscribers on YouTube, 80% are aged 13-34, with 40% watching on mobile devices. This demographic is creating equally youthful stars from within. "Fans, hobbyists, creators are the new publishers, and they are the new distribution," said René Rechtman, Maker's international president. That was clear from the series of "Digital Fronts" sessions at MIPTV, designed to highlight popular shows, channels and personalities from the online video world. They included British twins Finn and Jack Harries, who have 3.4 million subscribers to their travelogues channel, and a new series about riding rickshaws across India that attracted sponsorship from Skype and Sony.

Another Brit, gamer Joseph Garrett, has 2.3 million subscribers and 845m total views for his Stampy channel, where he posts daily videos shot within the Minecraft game for a fervent fanbase of children. Garrett is spinning off a second channel with Maker that will focus on education.

The Digital Fronts also showed there is no longer an obvious quality gap between the best drama, comedy and current affairs shows on YouTube, and shows on traditional TV. It seems likely that many more YouTube shows and stars will be making the leap to TV, with a number of shows already being packaged for sale to broadcasters. Vice already makes a news programme for HBO, for example, and wants to take more of its online output to TV. "Our strategy is to run these franchises online, but when we have a linear partner we'll make original content that's exclusive to the linear channel in a window," said chief creative officer Eddy Moretti.

MCNs and online media companies were in confident mood in Cannes, to put it mildly. "I'm not going to be the next CNN, I'm not going to be the next ESPN, I'm not going to be the next MTV. I'm going to be 10 times CNN, I'm going to be 10 times ESPN and 10 times MTV, because the number of video views are now in the billions," said Vice's Smith.

Maker's Rechtman added:

"Networks like Maker are now becoming more important than the traditional cable players. According to Nielsen if you want to reach the millennials, you have to come to us, or other players like us."

There was optimism, too, about the potential of YouTube and rival platforms to generate business and creative opportunities for traditional TV firms. Fremantle's Hindle said that his company's channels had 7bn YouTube views in 2013, generating revenues "on the scale of a major broadcast partner around the world, purely from YouTube". With many of those views coming from clips of TV shows, it's a relatively low-risk business, although Munchies represents a bigger bet. And it's these kinds of risks that producers may be taking more of, as they eye competition from the digital firms.

"The production company has to risk, has to invest. The companies that will be most successful in future are the companies that will fail more now," said Marco Bassetti, CEO of Banijay Group. He was backed up by Charlie Muirhead, CEO of online video firm Rightster.

"Every time there's a change in an industry, you can either sit on the sidelines and let it happen to you, or get properly engaged, and have a place in that disruption. This is a market going through a lot of disruption, and people need to get involved."

iLINK2MUSIC Fans Wake Up to Michael Blackson

BURBANK, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 03/31/14 --

iL2M International Corp. (the "company" or "iLink2Music.com") (OTCQB: ILIM), an emerging music entertainment and social media company announced today that it has signed Michael Blackson as the Company's new morning show personality for its first commercial radio station.

Blackson has been called one of the most original stand-up comics in the country.

Blackson, aka, "The African King of Comedy," has entertained audiences across the country and around the globe for more than a decade.

Inspired by the standup comedy of Eddie Murphy, Blackson began to develop his comedic talent in 1992 in the comedy clubs of Philadelphia.

Blackson's comedic appeal grew from his involvement with BET's ComicView series, HBO's Def Comedy Jam, Showtime at Harlem and Live in Hollywood.

However, it was in a Los Angeles comedy club where Blackson got his big break.

He was performing at the Comedy Store where actor/director Ice Cube was in attendance to see comedian Mike Epps perform.

But after experiencing Blackson's performance, Ice Cube invited the young comic for a reading and the rest is smash hit history. Blackson's outstanding and unforgettable performance in the hit comedy, Next Friday, drew praise and a major fan following.

After his scene stealing performance in Next Friday, fans wanted more, and in 2005, Blackson released his top-selling sketch comedy CD titled, "Modasucka, Welcome to America."

Along with special guest appearances on some of the hottest music videos, Blackson stole the stage on P. Diddy's Bad Boys of Comedy on HBO and starred in a commercial for the Chappelle Show on Comedy Central.

Along with his film and television endeavors, Blackson continues to entertain his fans as the headliner for live shows at comedy clubs, universities and special events, bringing his one-of-a kind, must-see stand-up performance to audiences all across the country and around the world.

iLINK2MUSIC Appoints Jerry Blair and GEM to Facilitate Entertainment and Artist Management

BURBANK, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/07/14 --

iL2M International Corp.(the "Company" or "iLink2Music.com") (OTCQB: ILIM), an emerging music entertainment and social media company, announced today that it has retained Mr. Jerry Blair and his firm, Global Entertainment Management, "GEM", to collaborate with the Company's Entertainment and Artist Management division.

A seasoned music and entertainment industry executive, Mr. Blair and his GEM team will collaborate with iL2M's Entertainment and Artist Management Division by working with the Company's artists and facilitating management, touring, publishing, merchandising, and recorded music.

"We are very excited to have Jerry and his team as part of our growing company,"

said Sarkis Tsaoussian, president of iL2M.

"Jerry brings over 25 years of artist management experience and will help us develop and promote new and emerging artists," said Tsaoussian.

Founded in 2009, GEM is a powerhouse multidisciplinary talent and management company based in New York City.

GEM's mission is to provide outstanding professional management services and distinguished instruction to their clients throughout the music, entertainment and digital industries.

The passion and professionalism behind GEM led the company to a joint venture with Primary Wave Music Publishing in 2010.

In its five years, the company has tripled its roster of talent, which now includes a comprehensive partnership with Wyclef Jean, and the management of superstar producer/writer Aaron Pearce, and Top 40 pop artist Chris Wallace.

GEM has continued its success in 2014, entering into a strategic partnership with ThinkSay Records, the #1 independent pop label home to Chris Wallace.

Their most recent partnership is with Top Independent Rock label Fat Lady Music, home to emerging artists such as Devour The Day.

Jerry Blair, founder of GEM, has been involved with the music industry's top recording labels and artists who have defined popular culture and radio airwaves for over 25 years.

During the height of the 80s, Jerry headed the west coast office of Chrysalis Records working with leading artists such as Huey Lewis, Pat Benatar, Billy Idol, Jethro Tull and Blondie.

He went on to spend the next 11 years at Columbia Records Group, which remained the dominant recording label in the music industry throughout the 90s. While at Columbia, Jerry served as the Executive Vice President for the label and personally oversaw the career development of music superstars Mariah Carey, The Fugees, Destiny's Child and Jessica Simpson.

He additionally rejuvenated Aerosmith's career by pairing the group up with Diane Warren. The result was, "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing," Aerosmith's first single to top the charts at #1.

He orchestrated the promotional and marketing campaigns of legendary artists Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel which resulted in bringing some of the greatest grossing record sales and concert tours in their careers.

Mr. Blair was the catalyst of the Latin pop explosion by launching Ricky Martin's U.S. career.

Starting with his show-stopping performance at the 1999 Grammys to "Livin' La Vida Loca" skyrocketing to #1 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart, Blair's foresight opened the door for numerous other Latin artists, including Shakira, Marc Anthony, Jennifer Lopez and Enrique Iglesias to crossover into the English market.

He was later hired to serve as the Executive Vice President at Arista Records. There he was instrumental in developing the careers of Usher, Outkast, Pink and Dido. Pink's debut album, "Can't Take Me Home," produced three massive radio hits which went top 10 in the US, driving domestic sales of over two million and more than five million dollars worldwide.

Mr. Blair went on to re-launch the career of Mariah Carey as her partner in Monarc Music.

He secured a worldwide distribution deal with Universal Music for Carey which resulted in enabling her to re-capture her place among the top selling pop charts and concert tours and to maintain her current success.

Continually respected industry wide as a leading multi-cultured music-promoter and lifestyle-marketer specialist, Blair has created another superstar with Mika, who he signed.

As a result of his management, Mika received a Grammy nomination and in 2007 was the number one selling new artist selling more than six million units worldwide and he continues to enjoy his consistent position at the top of the charts as a multi-platinum artist around the world.

iLINK2MUSIC Signs Veteran Executive Producer Jeff Schimmel

BURBANK, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/01/14 --

iL2M International Corp.(the "company" or "iLink2Music.com") (OTCQB: ILIM), an emerging music entertainment and social media company announced today that it has signed Jeff Schimmel as the executive producer of the Michael Blackson morning show, which will soon air on the Company's first commercial radio station.

Schimmel began his 25 year career in the entertainment industry by selling Archangel, a Cold War spy thriller, to a Hollywood production company while still in law school. After earning a Juris Doctor degree, Jeff teamed with Rodney Dangerfield and Harold Ramis to write the full-lengthWarner Brothers animated movie, Rover Dangerfield. This quickly led to a screenplay assignment for Orion Pictures/20th Century Fox and his first TV writing job on the top 10 ABC sitcom, Full House.
After writing and producing a series of short films called The Schimmel Papers for the Fox TV series The Sunday Comics, Schimmel became a writer on the groundbreaking Emmy Award winning sketch comedy series In Living Color, worked on the fledgling WB Network's first sitcom, and then served as a producer on the last NBC TV special starring the legendary Bob Hope.

Soon after, Schimmel sold To See You Again, a World War II film project, to Steven Spielberg'sDreamworks/SKG Studios, wrote the comedy feature True Blue for Oscar winner Martin Landau's Pentagon Pictures atMGM/UA, performed script consulting services on numerous TV and film projects, and even contributed his comedy writing skills to an NBC/Pax TV game show, Balderdash.

Over the years, Schimmel wrote and produced one hour and half-hour comedy specials for HBO, Showtime, and first run syndication -- and has appeared on camera in many of them.

More recently, Schimmel spent three seasons as supervising producer and writer on Comedy Central's controversial Mind of Mencia, and also produced No Strings Attached, a highly rated, one hour Comedy Central TV special that sold over a million copies on DVD.
As writer/producer, Schimmel worked for Warner Brothers, BET, CMT, Caravan Pictures, Canada'sParagon Entertainment Group, the government of Bermuda, and a new TV production company in Israel.

In addition, Schimmel worked extensively with radio industry giants Clear Channel, AM/FM, Radio One, and Emmis Communications as the creator, writer and executive producer of many top rated radio morning shows around the country.

His own company, Comedy Quest, provided original material to radio stations in the U.S.

Also in the recording industry, Jeff wrote and produced tracks for three CDs from multi-platinum rap artist Busta Rhymes and was Executive producer on the comedy CD titled Reserection.

iLINK2MUSIC Begins Construction of First Commercial Radio Station

BURBANK, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 18, 2014) -

iL2M International Corp. (the "company" or "iLink2Music.com") (OTCQB: ILIM), an emerging music entertainment and social media company, announced today that it has commenced construction of its first commercial radio station. The station is located at the company's main offices in Burbank, an entertainment mecca just outside of Los Angeles, California.

With construction underway, iL2M has tapped radio industry veteran Damion "Damizza" Young, who was recently hired to head up the efforts to launch the new venture.

"There is an old saying in radio that you're only as big as your stick. With this station, we'll be broadcasting over the biggest stick of them all -- the Internet," said Damizza, Director of New Media Development.

"By taking traditional radio programming methodology and marrying it with the new opportunities afforded by the Internet, iLink2Music is hoping to create a dynamic experience that listeners will demand!"

"We are building a complete commercial radio station with all the bells and whistles. With the rise of streaming music services providing listeners with computer-based programming, there is a growing sense of disconnect from the magical moments that radio delivered in the past. While computer algorithms can select the next song to play, nothing replaces real human interaction. It's these personalities that create experiences and connections that build a strong sense of community," states Mr. Sarkis Tsaoussian, President of iL2M.

The Company is currently finalizing station format and overall direction, and expects to launch the station in Q2 2014.

iLINK2MUSIC Appoints Radio Icon Damizza as Director of New Media Development

iL2M International Corp. (OTCQB: ILIM) Appoints Mr. Damion "Damizza" Young as Director of New Media Development and Content Strategy

BURBANK, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 3, 2014) -

iL2M International Corp. (the "company" or "iLink2Music.com") (OTCQB: ILIM), an emerging music entertainment and social media company, announced today that it has appointed Damion "Damizza" Young as Director of New Media Development and Content Strategy.

When asked where he got his start, Damizza credits his rise to meteoric success to his grandmother.

"My Grannie has been my rock," he says. "She's the single biggest influence on my life always telling me I could do anything I put my mind to."

By the age of 12, Damion was the youngest part-time commercial disc jockey in the world; by 17 he was program director of KHTY FM in his native Santa Barbara, and helped develop what is now popularly known today as the "Alternative Radio" format. Along the way Damion is credited with helping bring then-unknown acts such as Nirvana, Hootie and the Blowfish, Fiona Apple, Collective Soul, Garbage and others to the world stage.

Prior to joining iL2M, Damizza moved to Los Angeles as the Senior Director of Programming and Artist Relations for the Los Angeles hip-hop station Power 106.

Less than two years later, it was the hottest hip-hop station on the planet, and Damion was named the fourth-most-powerful-person in hip-hop by The Source magazine.

And no wonder:

He helped Jay-Z find an international audience, he helped Janet Jackson rekindle her career and most remarkably, reunited Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg for their smash Chronic 2001 record and tour.

He was also tapped by Dr. Dre for advice on 'how to break the white kid from Detroit' and introduced the world to Eminem.

With Power 106 at the height of radio success under Damion's musical direction, his keen ear and instinct for what music fans wanted to hear crossed barrier after barrier.

He was also asked to begin producing records for some of the biggest stars of the day, including Ice Cube, Snoop, Korn, Nate Dogg, Ludacris and Mariah Carey. Mariah's No. 1 smash "I Still Believe" was one of Damion's highest-profile achievements as a remix producer. It was during that record, in fact, that Mariah coined the nickname "Damizza" for the man who would get her career back on track.

"After the success of bringing Jay-Z to an international audience based on his affiliation with Mariah, and Mariah to the street audience, she hired me full time after what happened with Glitter," he says.

"I was asked to be the architect of her re-emergence and the rebuilding of her career that kicked off with her singing the national anthem at the super bowl after 9/11."

Damizza was sent to rescue Power 106's New York sister station, Hot 97, which was embroiled in major clashes and boycotts by industry heavyweights at the time.

Almost overnight, he was widely credited as one of the leaders of the movement bringing an end to the East Coast/West Coast beef, pairing rappers such as Jay-Z and Snoop Dogg, Biggie and Snoop, Puff Daddy and Xzibit, and others.

After bringing back success to New York's #1 Rhythm Station, Damizza focused on his nascent Baby Ree record label.

Surprising many, he abruptly announced his "retirement" and resigned from Power 106 and the industry. He wasn't yet 30 years old. Six months after he was gone, Power dove from No. 1 to No. 12 in the ratings and has yet to recover in the rating wars.

Since then, Damizza has produced and done projects with singing legends Eric Burdon, Terry Reid, P.F. Sloan, Bob Geldof and his Baby Ree Recordz distributed the highly acclaimed L.A. Blues Alliance produced by TV theme master Mike Post (Law & Order, NYPD Blue, The Rockford Files, L.A. Law, Magnum, P.I., Hill Street Blues, etc.). The album featured Keb'mo, W.G. Snuffy Walden & Stanley Barhens.

In between his work for charitable organizations, including the United Nations' World Food Programme: Fighting Hunger Worldwide, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Teddy Bear Cancer foundation, Jim Brown's Amer-I-Can Foundation, among others, Damizza decided to tell his life story with writer J. Marshall Craig. GUILTY BY ASSOCIATION shook the music world when it became tabloid fodder, courtesy the National Enquirer's front page, described it as a "tell-all" outing intimate secrets of, particularly, Mariah Carey. "It was nothing of the sort, of course," Damizza says. "I just wanted to tell my story about how a small-town kid's dreams came true, largely thanks to the grandmother who raised me."

So what does the future hold?

Damizza says,

"I'm working with iL2M, Sarkis and his team of genius programmers and business people on a social network and internet radio platform that re-invents how people access music and engage on the web.

This will be my most enjoyable work.

I'm exactly Where I Wanna Be!"

I feel an immediate personal and emotional connection to iL2M being both an avid music fan and technology evangelist."
