    The current U.S. broadcast and cable television industry, growing at an average annual rate of 6% with a small number of large companies in the market, is in the mature stage of the industry life cycle.

    A Financial Analysis of the Comcast Corporation

    Roughly a decade ago, the dawn of the “On Demand” feature in television broadcasting brought about a change to the broadcasting industry. For the first time ever, audiences were no longer forced to make their schedules around their favorite programs. Companies such as Comcast and one of its primary competitors, Verizon Communications, found success in the early days of the “On Demand” feature primarily due to its convenience. As time progressed however, alternative products entered the marketplace that challenged the success in which the television service providers were experiencing. Netflix Inc., a web-based service provider, directly challenged the “On Demand” feature by rolling out a product in which consumers had the option to watch a variety of shows or movies online by subscribing to their network. As the popularity of products released by Netflix and other competitors increased, mass media organizations such as Comcast and Verizon realized that they could no longer rest on the laurels of the “On Demand” feature, and had to look for ways to add value to their respective products.…

    Provision of Television Broadcasting in the Modern Age

    I start with the second question and consider whether broadcasting policy should be directed to “give the public what it wants”? In the UK, the tone of the debate about public service broadcasting was set in the earlier radio era. John Reith, the first Director General of the BBC, wrote,3 “the preservation of a high moral tone is obviously of paramount importance.” And “[t]here is no harm in trivial things; in themselves they may even be unquestionably beneficial, for they may assist the more serious work by providing the measure of salt which seasons.” Coase (1950, page 177) remarked that…

    The Media Networks division at Walt Disney is the highest revenue earner and also the division that faces the highest level of competition in the media industry. Competition is intensified by the fact that media network sells a preference to a customer and not an actual tangible commodity. A customer’s preference might be influenced by multiple factors such as genre of content that is aired, time of day and moods. Customers also have a variety of substitute choices for entertainment and can opt to play video games, watch a movie on DVD or browse the internet. As a result Disney is affected by diminishing advertisement revenues that directly impact finances. Disney counters alternate and substitute competition in an aggressive approach that involves acquisition and adoption of new technologies.…

First mover advantage is huge, and high quality experience rules the success. The movie industry, however, is characterized by ‘nobody knows anything’ rule, where there is no sure formula for a hit.
