Media Partners Asia's ampd Analytics has released new data about how YouTube is reshaping the Japanese media ecosystem, with the platform accounting for more than 65% of digital VOD hours viewed in the country, led by news and baseball.

Media Partners Asia's Dhivya T delivered an excellent presentation at APOS today on Southeast Asia's "attention map," highlighting how consumers across this heavily mobile-first region spend their digital time.

APOS's impressive agenda will feature the AsiaPac heads of Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, and HBO Max on a panel discussing how they're navigating the region's streaming sector.

The entertainment economy is operating against a backdrop where “the most valuable companies in entertainment are not entertainment companies,” resulting in APOS’s most future-facing edition to date, Vivek Couto, executive director of Media Partners Asia, tells ScreenMDM Talks in our latest podcast.

Taking place in Bali from June 16 to 18, APOS, convening executives from across the entertainment and technology spaces to explore trends in the AsiaPac region, has unveiled another tranche of speakers, with the full agenda to be released early next month.
