Since the start of this year, LeTV's market share has not been overtaken by other Internet firms, but rather been eroded by traditional Chinese and international color TV manufacturers. Similarly, in the color TV market, LeTV isn't the only one struggling. Companies like Xiaomi, Weico, and Storm have also found themselves caught in homogeneous competition.
With real estate developer Sun Hongbin, chairman of Sunac China, stepping in to replace Jia Yueting as the chairman of LeTV, a company listed on the stock exchange, the music dream that Jia Yueting once envisioned has now transformed into seven dreams of ecology—whether they signify change, shock, or even breakdown. At the same time, as the core business of LeTV, the video streaming service will bid farewell to the era of continuous financial losses and blind expansion under Jia Yueting's leadership, seeking to rebuild a competitive system and business model based on sustainable profitability.
People are concerned about what new chapter LeTV will write without Jia Yueting. Since the first half of this year, LeTV has faced no shortage of challenges in China's color TV market: a year-over-year decline in capital dividends, a weakening competitive edge in the face of market fluctuations, and uncertainty among business partners in the upstream and downstream industries. Meanwhile, Internet TV brands under traditional TV companies like Hisense, TCL, and Skyworth, as well as Internet TV firms like Xiaomi, Weico, and Storm, have collectively eaten into LeTV's market share in the first-tier markets.
Didn’t Jia Yueting or LeTV fail? As a real estate developer, what new energy will Sun Hongbin bring to LeTV? This is the key question regarding LeTV’s future trajectory.
In fact, since the onset of the LeEco crisis, Liang Jun, an operator of LeTV, replaced Jia Yueting with the backing of Sun Hongbin, becoming the general manager of LeTV, the listed company. Following this, as the LeTV crisis escalated, she became a major shareholder of LeTV. Jia Yueting was forced to step down from his position as chairman and was replaced by Sun Hongbin, who has gradually moved from behind the scenes to the forefront.
Looking ahead, whether or not Jia Yueting continues to serve as the chairman of LeTV, the ecological model and business practices he established during his tenure will not undergo fundamental changes in the short term. Of course, LeTV will also embark on a recovery process.
On one hand, as the operator of LeTV Super TV, Liang Jun has transitioned from being the head of LeTV.com to a trader, aiding in better collaboration between TV hardware and content platforms. On the other hand, LeTV already boasts a scale of nearly 10 million units, making it impossible to continue the strategy of low-cost hardware pricing and content profitability. They must adapt.
However, in the short term, despite having been distanced from the company’s management structure by its founder Jia Yueting, LeTV remains entangled in business partnerships and related-party transactions. Much of this stems from Jia Yueting’s earlier efforts to ensure that LeTV’s Super TV hardware incurred losses while aiming for content profitability through numerous personal control company-related transactions. Now, the company faces ongoing fragmentation and rebuilding.
Clearly, the challenges facing Sun Hongbin and Liang Jun’s new leadership are immense. The most pressing issue is restoring LeTV’s market sales to a healthy path as soon as possible to achieve self-sustaining profitability. This requires rebuilding trust in the upstream supply chain and creating robust downstream distribution channels and user confidence. Additionally, given the inability to sustain losses on hardware sales, how can LeTV find new ways to differentiate and stay competitive?

Since the first half of this year, LeTV, which has been burdened by the broader LeTV crisis, hasn’t managed to reclaim some of the market share lost to Internet firms like Xiaomi, Weico, and Storm. Instead, it has swiftly lost ground to traditional Chinese and international TV manufacturers.
The issues LeTV faces aren’t isolated. This includes problems specific to LeTV itself as well as broader challenges faced by the entire Internet TV industry. Specifically, without a viable hardware loss and content profit model, and given that product hardware still dominates industrial competition, Internet TV companies have needed to rewrite their business models over the past few years.
Over the last few years, the rise of the Internet TV sector has relied on two main factors: extremely low or even free hardware prices and users' curiosity about trying new products. Although there have been improvements in smart TV operating systems, content offerings, and user experiences, these gains are being rapidly matched by traditional color TV companies, leaving little room for differentiation.
This year’s heightened crisis in the color TV market has impacted not only LeTV’s standing and share but also the overall performance of Internet TV companies. Firms like Xiaomi, Weico, Storm, Look, Popular, PPTV, and others are under significant growth pressure. Conversely, Thunderbird TV and CoolTV, operated by traditional color TV companies, have been gaining attention and investment in the capital markets.
As a new force in the current color TV market, Internet companies cannot afford to view LeEco's crisis as the sole threat, ignoring the decline of LeTV as the leader of the Internet TV sector. Many companies like Xiaomi and Weico haven’t truly challenged this sector with new business systems beyond the LeTV model. It could be argued that Internet companies are adrift, searching for solutions.
Take Xiaomi TV’s recent move to introduce a thousand-yuan machine, entering the low-end Red Sea market, as an example of confusion. Or consider the once high-profile micro-whales and storms, which are now experiencing a downturn and even returning to the old road of traditional TV companies' display technology. Essentially, they are all mired in chaos, struggling to find clarity.
It’s absolutely impossible for all Internet TV companies to succeed in this chaotic environment!
