„YOU CAN EITHER MAKE PEOPLE CRY AND LAUGH, OR YOU CAN’T SUCCEED IN THE TV BUSINESS,“ SAYS CME CHIEF DIDIER STOESSEL

10. 8. 2022 | 7 min read CME Media Group CEO Didier Stoessel is one of the most influential figures in the domestic media business. The former investment banker with experience at HSBC and Merril Lynch is the top executive chosen by the PPF Group two years ago to bring the newly acquired CME Media Group back to the limelight. And Stoessel hasn’t held back at all - he has pulled creative producers and developers on his side („Having good content and a way to deliver it - that’s the name of the game these days“), hired triple the number of studios and is spending hundreds of millions on content production. On top of that, he has “revived” the then-stagnant Voyo, an online video library project, which he has made into one of the distinctive pillars of its strategy and which is now generating hundreds of millions in revenue a year. However, Stoessel still faces a number of challenges: competition in the market („Even though our biggest competition is sleep - that’s six to seven hours a day when you’re not consuming our content“), the economic slowdown or the steady decline in viewership of linear broadcasting. How does one of the most important Television executives in the Czech republic plan to deal with them?

THE REVOLUTION NAMED TELEVISION: THE HISTORY OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL MEDIUM OF THE 20TH CENTURY

5. 8. 2022 | 5 min read Let’s go back to the first half of the 20th century and explore an adventure called a television. A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT PICTURE The first ideas of a television combined two phenomena of their time - radio, that is, the transmission and reception of signals over longer distances, and cinematography, that is, moving pictures. However, it was not a mere combination of these two phenomena. What was needed was a revolution in the perception, or rather the nature, of the image. Cinemas used projectors that screened running strips of material on which images were captured chemically as a whole. With television, the image had to be broken down into individual points with specific coordinates and properties. In a television, this image is again composed and the points are assigned their features.
