BKMP NEW DD - A technological knockout

Andy Holloway
Canadian Business Online, February 17, 2006

The digital gold rush hardly has traditional media companies shaking in their boots. After all, most of the big players, such as CHUM, Astral Communications and even the CBC, have invested a few million or so into digital (what the CRTC calls "Category 2") television or satellite radio stations. And why not? Despite initial skepticism that sub-dividing consumers into ever-narrower niches would ever pay off, it's becoming clear that there is not only an audience willing to pay a few extra bucks to get more of whatever their current audio obsession is, but also an advertising community that sees the value of knowing pretty much who's watching.

Take the Fight Network. In the pre-digital era, dominated by a handful of networks and a few specialty cable channels, a television station with the tagline "All fights all the time" wouldn't have made a lot of sense. High start-up costs combined with a limited viewing audience would have kayoed anyone foolhardy enough to do it. But in the on-demand digital universe, with entire stations dedicated to horror, books and pets, it's a wonder no one launched something like Fight Network before last October, when the fledgling station hit the air. Fighting fans are rabid about their chosen sport — be it boxing, wrestling or mixed martial arts (a catch-all that includes everything from Thai kickboxing to "ultimate" fighting). And they're a pretty homogeneous bunch of guys — although Mike Garrow, the Gloucester Ont.-born entrepreneur behind the station, says it might surprise people how many women are into the sports as well.

Fight may not have the rights to major events such as World Wrestling Entertainment (commonly known as the WWE) or heavyweight boxing championships, but it does boast a fairly impressive lineup, including Pride Fighting Championship, K1 kickboxing and Showtime Championship Boxing — three properties Garrow believes are the fight world's equivalent of having the NFL, NBA and Major League Baseball. "We're the source for everything to do with combatant sports," says Garrow. "We're not a digital retread. We're showing programs that haven't been seen before in Canada."

Advertisers seem to like it, too, says Garrow. Sure, the station's main corporate fans are specialty product companies like Xyience (energy supplements), Fairtex (fighting apparel) and Cobra Energy Drink, but Molson Coors Brewing Co. and Sony Pictures are also on board. Part of the appeal is knowing who's watching. In this case, viewers are primarily 18-to-44-year-old males — a pretty lucrative demographic for any media outlet to lay claim to. But Garrow says digital channels are less restricted in what else they can offer aside from the standard 30-second spot. For example, Xyience sponsors the Knockout of the week, Fairtex has a calendar listing that is integrated with the Fight Network's web site, and quick Cobra ads pop up into regular programming — something that might offend regular television viewers. The trick for stations such as Fight, says Garrow, is "you have to offer compelling content to keep viewers interested and then come up with creative ways to help the advertisers."

But Fight isn't a one-punch platform. It also has a talk radio show called Live Audio Wrestling: No Holds Barred!, which is syndicated across the country through Broadcast News. And, like most media, Fight uses its web site to cross-promote its programs and offer related information and clips, but it also has three premium web service that costs subscribers $5 to get a look at behind the scenes interviews, profile reports, online chats and interactive games. So far 3,000 people have signed up for the premium web content.

The company won't divulge current subscriber numbers for the network, but chairman Sandy Winick believes Fight could capture 20% of the digital market in five years. If it had that level of penetration today, Fight would have roughly one million viewers, given that nearly 5 million people are now hooked into either digital cable or satellite offerings. "There are a lot of different revenue options available to us," says Winick. "We're not just stuck with the linear television model."

That's probably a good thing. While Fight has built-in options to show roughly 80% of its content in the United States, it wouldn't be a surprise if someone with bigger pockets came along and tried to emulate the station's business model. Armed with the content and a deal with Canadian Satellite Communications Inc. that gives them access to all cable, satellite and telco providers throughout North America, Garrow has plans to take Fight south before that happens.

Imagine that? A Canadian media company fighting the good fight in the south. It could happen, but only because the technology allows it to.
