Toronto – January 14, 2015 - The Keytrends Report 2015 - The Big Blur Challenge, which provides an in-depth look at the audiovisual industry in Canada and around the world, was published today following a presentation by the CMF at Forum Blanc in Grand Bornand, France.

Six key trends studied in this document:
- There are fewer entry points for a growing number of overwhelmed users;
- The blending of TV and online consumption continues;
- Game watching and e-sports hold a growing place in the entertainment industry;
- YouTube is leaving the age of “amateurism”, with some user-generated content achieving professional standards;
- There are fewer and fewer intermediaries in revenue generation, and fan labour is raising debate;
- Worldwide, a few giants hold a growing share of the media market and competition is intensifying.
