The case of AllTV ceasing the production of three flagship shows provides an
interesting background for examining product management. AllTV had high hopes of
success after hiring key people who were popular with voters. However, despite having
a large potential audience, AllTV failed to generate sufficient ratings and revenue,
leading to the decision to stop the production of three of its flagships shows. This
provides important lessons for product managers in the media and entertainment
industry.
One of the primary reasons for AllTV's failure was its poor production values. In
this day and age, audiences have high expectations when it comes to production
values, and anything that falls below that baseline is quickly dismissed. Product
managers must ensure that their products meet or exceed customer expectations,
especially in an industry as competitive as media and entertainment.
Another issue that AllTV faced was the lack of originality in their programming.
While it is acceptable to borrow ideas from other sources, it is essential to create quality
programming that stands out from the rest. AllTV failed to do this, resulting in a lack of
interest from audiences.
Additionally, AllTV's focus on big-name talent rather than building new stars over
time proved to be a mistake. Product managers must take a holistic approach to
building their products, ensuring that they have a feeder league of programming to
develop new talent and keep audiences engaged.
Finally, AllTV's failure to effectively market its products was another factor that
contributed to its downfall. Despite having a killer lineup on its new radio station, AllTV
failed to effectively communicate this to its audience. Product managers must ensure
that they have a clear and effective marketing strategy that effectively communicates
the value of their products to customers.
AllTV, a television network, has temporarily ceased tapings for three of its flagship
shows, citing poor ratings and a lack of advertisers. The network started with high
hopes by hiring key people who seemed to be the apple of the eyes of the adoring
masses who elected BBM back in May. However, despite having a famous frequency
and money behind the network, AllTV failed to attract viewers and advertisers. The
problems identified include:
As a result, AllTV failed to stand out and make its mark on local TV. To succeed, a
television network needs to take a lot of risks, set itself apart from the competition,
showcase big talents, and build a feeder league of programming to build new stars over
time. Product management could help AllTV identify the needs and wants of its target
audience, design and develop products that meet those needs, and market and
promote its products effectively to attract and retain customers.

In the case of AllTV, a temporary cease in tapings for three of its flagship shows was
caused by poor ratings and a lack of advertisers. The following is an overview of the
7Ps and how they relate to product management in the AllTV case:
Product: AllTV's programming was not particularly original, and the performers did not
have the talent to carry a show. To improve product management, AllTV should invest
in original and refreshing programming, as well as developing and nurturing new talent.
Price: The pricing strategy of AllTV was not mentioned in the case. However, it can be
assumed that AllTV's pricing strategy was not a factor in the temporary cease in tapings
for three of its flagship shows.
Place: AllTV had acquired a famous frequency, but this did not guarantee a following.
To improve place management, AllTV should invest in feeder programming to build new
stars and followings over time.
Promotion: AllTV did not invest enough in promotion, as evidenced by the lack of
awareness of their killer lineup on their new radio station. To improve promotion
management, AllTV should prioritize promotion efforts to build brand awareness and
attract new viewers.
People: AllTV should consider hiring key people with a track record of successful
programming to improve people management.
Process: AllTV's production values were poor, falling below the baseline of
expectations for production values. To improve process management, AllTV should
invest in higher production values to produce quality programming.
Physical Evidence: AllTV's physical evidence was not mentioned in the case.
However, it can be assumed that AllTV's physical evidence was not a factor in the
temporary cease in tapings for three of its flagship shows.
AllTV can focus on increasing the market share of its existing programs in its current
market. They can achieve this by investing more in marketing and promotion to reach a
broader audience.
Pros: This strategy are that it is less risky than other options and can generate quick
returns.
Cons: It does not address the root cause of the problem, and there is a risk of
saturating the market with too much advertising, which could negatively impact AllTV's
reputation.
AllTV can focus on developing new programs that appeal to its current market. They
can achieve this by conducting market research and developing new programming that
aligns with current trends and audience preferences.
Pros: This strategy are that it can attract new viewers, and if the programming is
successful, it can create a new revenue stream.
Cons: It is expensive and risky to develop new programming, and it may take some
time to see a return on investment.
ACA3 - Diversification
AllTV can focus on entering new markets or developing new products. They can
achieve this by acquiring new channels or expanding their online presence.
Pros: This strategy are that it can generate new revenue streams and reduce
dependence on a single market.
Cons: It is expensive and risky to enter new markets, and it may take some time to
establish a foothold.
