"Pressure is building for the TV industry to find a winning model for advertising-supported on-demand TV," noted Josh Bernoff, Forrester principal analyst, earlier this month (May 5, 2005) in a research report entitled: The Advertising Model For Video On Demand. "Because as DVR penetration and VOD usage grow, consumers will get used to watching programming on their own schedule and traffic will flow to on-demand viewing. At the same time, marketers are beginning to see on-demand as a vehicle for taking TV ads beyond simple brand awareness. All that's missing is an advertising model."
