There are new moves in the copyright strategy of CCTV! Yunting obtained the exclusive right to operate the broadcast frequency live stream of the main station in the car networking system.
Recently, the General Manager’s Office of the Central Radio and Television General Station officially authorized Yangguang Media Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yangguang Media Group") to exclusively operate the broadcast frequency live stream of the General Station in the car networking system. This means that the existing radio frequencies owned, controlled and managed by the main station and the new radio frequencies in the future must be connected to the car-playing service (including live broadcast and delayed listening) through the "cloud listening" car system or through cooperation with Yangguang Media Group.
"Cloud Listening" is a new national 5G sound media platform launched by the Central Radio and Television General Station (hereinafter referred to as "the General Station") in March 2020. It is the only audio client under the General Station and bears the important mission of the strategic transformation and integration of the General Station’s broadcasting.
"Cloud Listening" began to lay out intelligent networked automobile business from the beginning of its launch, and jointly developed car networking products with mainstream automobile manufacturers and solution providers to meet the different listening needs of users in travel scenarios.
"Cloud Listening" leads the industry standard with high-quality content, and promotes the standardization of the mobile audio market. It continues to lay out multi-terminal and full-application scenarios such as mobile phones, cars, tablets and smart wearable devices, and provides users with high-quality sound products and services such as radio stations, audio books and audio programs.
This exclusive operation authorization will have a far-reaching impact on the standardized development of the intelligent networked automobile industry. In the future, only through the cooperation of "Yunting" or Yangguang Media Group can the live broadcast stream of the main station broadcast frequency be connected to the car networking system of the car brand and the after-loading car networking system developed by the after-loading product company, which is expected to end the situation that the radio station of the car networking system was used indiscriminately in the past and ensure the car owners to enjoy the rights and interests of safe and standardized content services.
In recent years, the main station has continuously increased its efforts in the protection and management of copyright assets, standardized the copyright market and communication order of the Internet audio-visual industry, and made full use of its own content copyright advantages to support the independent platform to become stronger and bigger. As early as 2019, the General Station issued the "Statement of the Central Radio and Television General Station on Strengthening the Protection of Copyright Assets", which clarified the copyright scope of the General Station, and said that it would strengthen the monitoring and maintenance of its copyright assets, take all effective measures according to law, and resolutely crack down on any infringement of the legitimate rights and interests of the copyright assets of the General Station.
The person in charge of "Yunting" said that the next step will be to continuously strengthen the platform construction, make full use of, develop and operate the audio content resources of the main station, organically combine copyright protection and operation, extend the audio content value of the main station, and enhance its influence, communication and market value. At the same time, it will give full play to the advantages of the new media platform of the main station with an open and integrated attitude, accelerate the cooperation process with car manufacturers and solution providers, promote the signing cooperation with radio stations all over the country, and provide high-quality broadcast live streaming and audio products and services for car companies and car owners.
