  • The Welfare Effects of Vertical Integration in Multichannel
    The Welfare Effects of Vertical Integration in Multichannel Television Markets∗ Gregory S. Crawfordy Robin S. Leez Michael D. Whinstonx Ali Yurukoglu{ PRELIMINARY AND INCOMPLETE September 10, 2014 Abstract We investigate the welfare effects of vertical integration of regional sports networks (RSNs) in U.S. multichannel television markets. Vertical integration can enhance efficiency by aligning investment incentives and/or reducing double marginalization, but can also harm welfare due to foreclosure and raising rivals' costs incentives. We measure these competing effects in the carriage, channel placement, and pricing decisions of regional sports networks (RSNs) by affil- iated and unaffiliated cable and satellite television distributors. We first carry out descriptive analyses that compare integrated and non-integrated RSNs and distributors' prices and car- riage, and viewership ratings. We then estimate a model of viewership, subscription, distributor pricing, and input cost bargaining. We use the estimated model to analyze the welfare effects of simulated vertical mergers and de-mergers, and the \terrestrial loophole" introduced in the 1992 Cable Act by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission. 1 Introduction The welfare effects of vertical integration is an important, but controversial, issue. The theoretical literature on the pro- and anti-competitive impacts of vertical integration is vast (c.f. Perry (1990); Riordan (2008)), and typically contrasts potential efficiencies related to the elimination of double marginalization (Spengler (1950)) and the alignment of investment incentives (Willamson (1985); Grossman and Hart (2001)) with the potential for losses arising from incentives to foreclose rivals and raise their costs (Salop and Scheffman (1983); Krattenmaker and Salop (1986); Hart and Tirole (1990); Ordover et al.

  • Competitive Advantage: the Actions Espn Must Take in Order to Maintain a Leadership Position in the Wake of Cable Un-Bundling
    197 EDWARDS (DO NOT DELETE) 11/22/2016 12:45 PM COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE: THE ACTIONS ESPN MUST TAKE IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN A LEADERSHIP POSITION IN THE WAKE OF CABLE UN-BUNDLING “What’s going on here is we’re redefining the nature of choice.”1 The words of Laura Martin, entertainment & internet analyst at Needham & Co., sum up the direction of television programming in the United States. For decades, pay-TV consumers have been subjected to the reality of the “bundle.”2 Monthly over-charges and consumer choice limited to very similar bundles have both been par for the course.3 Content distributors are unable to compete on price in a meaningful way because the contracts they have with content creators essentially dictate their own bottom lines.4 The emergence of millennials in the marketplace, coupled with heightened animosity towards the anti-competitive structure of the way pay-TV is developed and distributed to consumers, paint the picture of an industry on the brink of drastic and certain change.5 Whether it be through anti-trust litigation, legislative action, FCC intervention, or the eventual decay of the current business model by consumers who independently choose to “cut the cord” with cable, a new landscape of content distribution will emerge.6 Currently, sports programming accounts for much of a pay-TV monthly bill regardless of whether a consumer has any interest in sports.7 A Los Angeles subscriber, for example, is charged roughly $5 per month for Dodger 1.
