Both MipTV and the wider TV business are currently facing challenges amidst a changing landscape. The audiovisual production sector is feeling the strain as pay-TV revenue decreases, streaming growth slows, and consumers reach saturation with subscriptions, creating a tough economic environment. In response to these obstacles and increased competition, MipTV is in the process of redefining itself.
This year's MipTV event, scheduled for April 8-10 in Cannes, will take place in a market undergoing significant transformation. Following a more streamlined approach in 2023, the upcoming edition will see the return of MipDoc and MipFormats sessions to their traditional premarket dates on April 6-7. The event will feature a keynote from Trilogy Film founder Dawn Porter, discussions on the state of unscripted content, and insights into commissioning trends.
