  • Media Ownership Chart

    Media Ownership Chart

    In 1983, 50 corporations controlled the vast majority of all news media in the U.S. At the time, Ben Bagdikian was called "alarmist" for pointing this out in his book, The Media Monopoly . In his 4th edition, published in 1992, he wrote "in the U.S., fewer than two dozen of these extraordinary creatures own and operate 90% of the mass media" -- controlling almost all of America's newspapers, magazines, TV and radio stations, books, records, movies, videos, wire services and photo agencies. He predicted then that eventually this number would fall to about half a dozen companies. This was greeted with skepticism at the time. When the 6th edition of The Media Monopoly was published in 2000, the number had fallen to six. Since then, there have been more mergers and the scope has expanded to include new media like the Internet market. More than 1 in 4 Internet users in the U.S. now log in with AOL Time-Warner, the world's largest media corporation. In 2004, Bagdikian's revised and expanded book, The New Media Monopoly , shows that only 5 huge corporations -- Time Warner, Disney, Murdoch's News Corporation, Bertelsmann of Germany, and Viacom (formerly CBS) -- now control most of the media industry in the U.S. General Electric's NBC is a close sixth.

Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/13s698mx Journal Global Societies Journal, 1(1) Author Elouardaoui, Ouidyane Publication Date 2013 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California The Crisis of Contemporary Arab Television | 100 The Crisis of Contemporary Arab Television: Has the Move towards Transnationalism and Privatization in Arab Television Affected Democratization and Social Development in the Arab World? By: Ouidyane Elouardaoui ABSTRACT Arab media has experienced a radical shift starting in the 1990s with the emergence of a wide range of private satellite TV channels. These new TV channels, such as MBC (Middle East Broadcasting Center) and Aljazeera have rapidly become the leading Arab channels in the realms of entertainment and news broadcasting. These transnational channels are believed by many scholars to have challenged the traditional approach of their government–owned counterparts. Alternatively, other scholars argue that despite the easy flow of capital and images in present Arab television, having access to trustworthy information still poses a challenge due to the governments’ grip on the production and distribution of visual media. This paper brings together these contrasting perspectives, arguing that despite the unifying role of satellite Arab TV channels, in which national challenges are cast as common regional worries, democratization and social development have suffered. One primary factor is the presence of relationships forged between television broadcasters with influential government figures nationally and regionally within the Arab world.
  • How Cable News Reshaped Local Government$

    How Cable News Reshaped Local Government$

    How Cable News Reshaped Local GovernmentI Sergio Gallettay, Elliott Ashy yETH Zürich Abstract Partisan cable news broadcasts have a causal effect on the size and composition of bud- gets in U.S. localities. Utilizing channel positioning as an instrument for viewership, we show that exposure to the conservative Fox News Channel shrinks local government budgets, while liberal MSNBC enlarges them. Revenue changes are driven by shifts in property taxes, a key tool for local redistributive policy. Expenditure changes are driven by public hospital expenditures, an important discretionary public good provided by lo- cal governments. We also find evidence that Fox exposure increased privatization (while MSNBC decreased it). An analysis of mechanisms suggests that the results are driven by changes in voter preferences, but not by changes in partisan control of city governments.

This case involves Viacom’s abuse of its market power over access to commercially critical networks – its highly popular Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, BET, and MTV networks – to force Cablevision to license and distribute over scarce bandwidth some dozen other Viacom networks, which Viacom calls Suite Networks, that many Cablevision subscribers do not watch and for which Cablevision would prefer to substitute competing networks. Viacom strong-armed Cablevision into carrying Suite Networks by threatening to impose a near $ billion penalty if Cablevision licensed only the Viacom networks Cablevision wanted, networks Viacom calls its Core Networks. Stated differently, unless Cablevision agreed to distribute Viacom’s Suite, Cablevision would pay nearly as much for just the Core (which includes commercially critical networks) than for the Core and Suite 1 Case 1:13-cv-01278-LTS Document 9 Filed 03/07/13 Page 2 of 60 combined. Viacom’s diabolical and coercive scheme, which harms competition, consumers, and Cablevision, constitutes tying and block booking in violation of the Sherman Act and New York law.

    PBS Engineering Technology Advisory Committee ATSC 3.0 Position Paper

    PBS Engineering Technology Advisory Committee ATSC 3.0 Position Paper Introduction The PBS Engineering Technical Advisory Committee (ETAC)* has created a working group focused on the pending ATSC 3.0 broadcast transmission standard and its impact on PBS member stations. The ETAC ATSC 3.0 Working Group is made up of Public Television station technology leaders with support from PBS. The current digital broadcast technology was developed in the early 1990s by a large group of industry professionals with overall leadership from the FCC Advisory Committee on Advanced Television Service and the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC).* The standard was published in 1995 and then adopted by the FCC in 1996. In July of 1996, WRAL TV in Raleigh, NC became the first North American television station to broadcast a digital service. In time, the standard we now refer to as ATSC 1.0 was introduced across the country. With the demise of analog television broadcast, it became the operating standard in 2009. ATSC 2.0 was an enhancement of ATSC 1.0, adding new technologies such as advanced video and audio coding and new features such as second screen and Conditional Access. While ATSC 2.0 did become a standard, it was not widely adopted. Many of the capabilities 2.0 enabled, however, were used and expanded on in ATSC 3.0. Technology changes rapidly and the need for an advanced broadcast standard not hampered by the backwards compatibility restraints of ATSC 1.0 is clear. Given consumers’ rapid adoption of mobile and handheld devices for video consumption, it is clear that broadcasters need to adapt to meet current consumer demands and ensure scalability for future needs.

    COMEDY CENTRAL Records Releases Ryan Stout's "Touche" Debut Digital Album on December 6

    COMEDY CENTRAL Records Releases Ryan Stout's "Touche" Debut Digital Album on December 6 NEW YORK, Nov. 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Ryan Stout tends to say the wrong thing – in exactly the right way. Or, maybe, it's the right thing in the wrong way! In any case, COMEDY CENTRAL Records releases Ryan Stout's debut digital album, "Touche" on Tuesday, December 6. Recorded live at Acme Comedy Company in Minneapolis, MN, "Touche" is packed with complex twists, unexpected turns, and sharp punch lines. Exploring morally repugnant subject matter with smart and sterile objectivity, Stout's delightful insincerity and self-righteousness make this digital album both witty and wicked. To assure his brand of "offensive humor" stays on an intellectual level, he generally keeps profanity out of his act, even while touching on such subjects as sexual assault and abortion in his own clever manner. Ryan Stout has toured the globe with his extremely well-crafted stand-up for more than ten years. When he was only 22 years old, he won first place in the Boston International Comedy Festival's Stand-up Comedy Competition. Many opportunities soon followed, including performances at "The Comedy Festival" in Las Vegas, at HBO's "U.S. Comedy Arts Festival" in Aspen, and at the prestigious "Just for Laughs" International Comedy Festival in Montreal. In the world of television, Stout has hosted various series and specials for MTV, including the iconic "MTV's Spring Break." He has appeared as a regular guest on "Chelsea Lately," made his late-night stand-up debut on "Conan,"
