Definition:
Traditional TV Advertising refers to ad spending on moving image formats broadcasted via traditional transmission channels such as terrestrial and digital terrestrial (DTTV, DTT, DTTB) TV, cable TV, satellite TV, and linear TV delivered via Internet Protocol television (IPTV). Terrestrial television uses traditional antennas that transmit analog signals. Analog terrestrial TV has undergone a digital switchover (DSO) to digital terrestrial TV in most parts of the world. For digital terrestrial TV, television broadcasting stations transmit TV content through radio waves to televisions in households in a digital format. Internet Protocol television (IPTV) refers to the delivery of television content via Internet Protocol networks. IPTV is used in subscriber-based telecommunications networks via set-top boxes or other customer-premises equipment (IPTV is included in the cable revenue split here). Traditional TV Advertising covers all ad spending on pay-TV operators and networks as well as free-to-air networks and free-to-air spin-off digital channels from terrestrial network operators. Usually, the distribution of advertising time in television programs is either carried out by the broadcasters themselves or by marketing agencies.

Structure:

Cable TV signals are transmitted through coaxial or fiber-optic cables directly to each household without the need for external antennas.
Satellite TV includes television programming with the use of communication satellites that transmit to satellite dishes. A dedicated satellite receiver (external set-top boxes or built into TV sets) decodes the television program.
Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT), sometimes known as direct-to-terrestrial television, is a type of television reception in which a signal is transmitted directly to a viewer's antenna rather than through a cable or satellite system. As a rule, HDTV signals are available through digital terrestrial television, and this type of television also makes better use of the radio spectrum.

The Traditional TV Advertising market in Ireland has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences and local special circumstances.

Customer preferences: Irish consumers still have a strong affinity for traditional TV, with many households having access to a wide range of channels. This has created a large and diverse audience for advertisers to target. Additionally, the Irish population spends a significant amount of time watching TV, making it an effective medium for reaching consumers.

Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the Traditional TV Advertising market in Ireland is the shift towards targeted advertising. Advertisers are increasingly using data-driven insights to tailor their messages to specific audience segments, ensuring that their ads are more relevant and impactful. This trend is driven by advancements in technology and data analytics, which allow advertisers to better understand their target audience and deliver more personalized advertisements. Another trend in the market is the rise of programmatic advertising. Programmatic advertising refers to the use of automated systems to buy and sell ad inventory in real-time. This allows advertisers to reach their target audience more efficiently and effectively, as ads can be served to specific demographics or based on user behavior. Programmatic advertising also offers greater transparency and accountability, as advertisers can track the performance of their campaigns in real-time.

This has led to a highly competitive advertising market, with advertisers constantly seeking innovative ways to capture the attention of consumers. Additionally, Ireland has a vibrant creative industry, with many talented professionals working in advertising and marketing. This has contributed to the development of high-quality and engaging TV advertisements in the country.

Ireland has experienced strong economic growth in recent years, leading to increased consumer spending and confidence. This has created a favorable environment for advertisers, as companies are willing to invest in advertising to reach potential customers. Additionally, Ireland has a relatively young and tech-savvy population, which is receptive to new advertising formats and channels. In conclusion, the Traditional TV Advertising market in Ireland is developing rapidly due to changing customer preferences, such as targeted advertising and programmatic advertising. Local special circumstances, such as a competitive advertising industry and a vibrant creative industry, have also contributed to the growth of the market.

Television changed the world; now technology is changing television. After a pandemic-related decrease in ad spending in 2020, global television ad spending has since returned to growth over the first half of the 2020s but has not succeeded in going back to its pre-pandemic figures. At the same time, TV’s share of global ad spending has been decreasing year-after-year. TV’s global deceleration is mostly attributable to a slowdown in linear TV investments, while spending on digital TV is showing no signs of slowing down. Connected TV (CTV) ad revenue worldwide is expected to almost double between 2022 and 2028, as more and more viewers ditch linear TV in favor of devices connected to the internet.
