Checking in on a changing scene
It may not be ready to run just yet, but it looks like digital content distribution is starting to take baby steps towards viability. Don't get us wrong: Linear broadcast is still the biggest opportunity going, and content owners aren't getting rich selling digital multi-platform rights. But unlike two years ago when KidScreen first examined the non-linear distribution scene, sustainable business models are emerging for some platforms, broadcasters and program buyers are recognizing distinct rights in some cases, and actual cash has started changing hands.
