7 Television broadcasting Operating revenues in the television broadcasting sector reached $7.5 billion in 2011, up 5.4% comparatively from Pay and specialty television continued to climb, with operating revenues increasing 7.9% year over year to reach $3.7 billion. Operating revenues for private conventional television reached $2.2 billion in 2011, an increase of 0.3%. Operating revenues of public and non-commercial television increased to $1.6 billion, an increase of 7.1%. In 2011, the profit margin for private conventional television was 7.2%. This follows smaller margins posted in 2009 and 2010 (-5.7% and +0.2%, respectively). The profit margin before interest and taxes in 2011 was at its highest level since The profit margin before interest and taxes for private conventional television has been improving for the past two years in part because of greater expenditure control. In 2011, Private conventional television broadcasters decreased their programming and production expenses by 11.3%. In 2010, the year-over-year increase of these same expenses was only 1.7%. These growth rates were the lowest of the past 10 years, except in 2007 (0.7%). The combined effect of the expenditure control, the increased advertising revenues, and revenues from the Local Programming Improvement Fund in the past two years helped these television broadcasters regain their profitability. In 2011, pay and specialty television posted a profit margin before interest and taxes of 24.9%, slightly down from 2010 (25.3%). The profits before interest and taxes for pay and specialty television reached $930.5 million. In 2011, advertising revenues for conventional television (private, public and non-commercial) showed slower growth (1.7%) than for pay and speciality television (10.9%). Conventional television has been losing ground in the television advertising market for several years. In 2011, conventional television captured 65.5% of the television advertising market, compared to 72.9% five years earlier. The advertising market shares for public and non-commercial television have remained relatively stable in the past few years, at 10.7% in Private conventional television saw its advertising market shares fall from 62.2% to 54.8% in five years. In 2011, television advertising revenues as a whole were $3.6 billion.

21 Data quality The statistics presented in this publication are for the following categories of the 2007 North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS): Television Broadcasting (51512) and Pay and Specialty Television (51521). The annual surveys on which this publication is based target all organisations licensed by the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to operate conventional radio or television programming undertakings and specialty and pay television service operators. The survey targeting conventional broadcasters is conducted jointly by Statistics Canada and the CRTC. The Broadcast Analysis Branch of the CRTC manages the survey targeting the specialty and pay television operators. Statistics from both surveys are presented here to provide a more complete picture of the structural changes affecting this sector. The data presented in this publication are of very good quality and can be used with confidence. This assessment is based on available data accuracy measures and the judgement of the analysts involved in this survey. These statistics are, however, subject to revision. Revisions are usually the result of late receipt of information, of re-filing by respondents of previously submitted data, or of detection of errors after publication of data. They typically do not have a material impact on the preliminary results. Past revisions accounted for less than 1% of the value for key variables such as total revenues, salaries and wages and of employees. Users interested in learning more about the concepts, methodology and data quality of the broadcasting surveys can visit Statistics Canada s websiteatwww.statcan.gc.ca. Definitions, data sources and methods are available for most surveys. The survey title is Radio and Television Broadcasting Survey (ID 2724). Statistics Canada Catalogue no X 19
