Future of Music Coalition 7000 West Third Street 1615 L Street NW, Ste. 520 Los Angeles, CA 90048 Washington, DC 20036 August 25, 2014 1 REDACTED – FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION SUMMARY The proposed merger between Comcast and Time Warner Cable (“Applicants”) and the subsequent divestiture transactions between Applicants, Charter Corporation and SpinCo are not in the public interest. The merger of Comcast and Time Warner Cable will enhance the market power of Applicants as cable television and online content distributors. The lack of sufficient competition in both multichannel video programming distributor (“MVPD”) and Internet service provider (“ISP”) markets coupled with Applicants’ dominant market share in both content distribution platforms will have significant anticompetitive effects. Increased distribution power, combined with vertical integration into video programming, enhances Applicants’ incentive to engage in practices that harm upstream content markets. While Applicants may not compete directly in local markets, they are competitors in the market for video programming and this merger eliminates a key market participant. The increased concentration resulting from this merger will occur in a market where evidence provided by Applicants suggests that Comcast already has market power as a buyer, and this merger will enhance such power.

Future of Music Coalition 7000 West Third Street 1615 L Street NW, Ste. 520 Los Angeles, CA 90048 Washington, DC 20036 December 29, 2014 REDACTED – FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION SUMMARY The proposed merger between Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”) and Time Warner Cable (“TWC” or “Time Warner Cable,” together, “Applicants”) and the subsequent divestiture transactions between Applicants, Charter Corporation (“Charter”), and GreatLand Connections will harm competition, programming diversity, and consumer choice. There is broad consensus among industry participants that these transactions do not serve the public interest. Comcast’s proposed expansion of traditional and digital media distribution magnifies many of the harms identified by commenters and by the Federal Communications Commission (“Commission” or “FCC”) in the Comcast-NBC Universal (“NBCU”) merger and also raises new concerns. In Comcast-NBCU , the FCC found that the merger would have increased Comcast’s ability and incentive to discriminate against unaffiliated programming 1 and to hinder competition from online video distributors (“OVDs”) through “its exercise of control over consumers’ broadband connections.”2 Now, with the acquisition of TWC, Comcast can expand such harmful practices across a larger share of both the multichannel video programming distribution (“MVPD”) and Internet service provider (“ISP”) markets.

Sellers: Little direct competition from other studios at present. Disney is only a partial competitor. Universal is exploring but is likely to renew with HBO. Over the next two years, Paramount (if EPIX fails) and Fox may be shopping. 2. Buyers: EPIX: Interested in Sony, but they don’t have DirecTV carriage that they were hoping to get by way of a Viacom lawsuit. They may be in trouble. We would like to nail down a pay deal before EPIX implodes and floods the market HBO: Would be willing to talk to us if Universal falls thru, but that could take a year to determine. If Universal wants in, they will likely renew with Universal because they need carriage on Comcast Comcast: Interested in talking; need to be educated; not clear if they’d actually do the deal or if they are just fishing for market information Netflix: Interested in Columbia titles, less interest in Classics and Screen Gems titles Amazon/Hulu: Interest in a subset of pictures. Not clear to them what impact this will have on their subscribers / viewers so it may be difficult for them to know how to value the product for lack of experience.
