  • 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.

  • By Placing Its Thumb on the Scale of Competition, the Commission by This
    ....@-- by placing its thumb on the scale of competition, the Commission by this Rule has distorted and restricted competition in other ways affecting pro­ gram producers, syndicators, independent stations, new networks, and network affiliates. The Rule has come to be seen largely as a measure to promote the fortunes of independent and UHF stations. The evidence shows that today many independent stations are more profitable than affiliates. Further, UHF affil­ iates of ABC, CBS and NBC are victims of the Rule, yet on average are fi­ nancially weaker than UHF independents, intended beneficiaries of the Rule. Furthermore, any "handicapII affecting independent UHF stations in the past has been reduced or eliminated, due to forces other than PTAR. The economic costs, penalties, restrictions and consumer harms caused by PTAR cannot be justified by an increase in diversity, because PTAR has not increased diversity. The number of outlets for local broadcast programming is unchanged by the Rule. The number of sources of programming avail­ able to those outlets is reduced by the terms of the Rule. There is no basis to believe that the Rule enhances the diversity of prime-time broadcast program content (or the variety of viewpoints), and there are some reasons to believe that diversity has been reduced. In any event, the flowering of new media alternatives makes irrelevant whatever marginal change in broadcast network affiliate content diversity, if any, can be attributed to the Rule.

Jalal Abdul Naser Bhuiyan Abstract Bangladesh is a moderate Muslim country. But it is highly influenced by the Indian society and culture. Different ruling parties tried to resist this Indian influence. Because of geographical nearness, they failed to do it. With the emergence of satellite television after 1992, this Indian influence or the so called Indianisation became overwhelming. This influx of Indian Hindu culture was a shock to some fundamental Muslim and also some Highbrow. Western TV Channels to some extent replaced the Indian influenced. Especially, the Highbrow and the Lowbrow with High Taste embraced this Western culture. For some conservative Muslim, it was like an eye opener.

  • 1. Matter of Competition, Rate Deregulation and the Commission's Policies Relating to the Provision of Cable Television Servic
    Coalition for Competitive Access to Content (CA2C) Vertical Integration Relevant to Program Access Legislation Draft of 1990, 1994, 2006 Comparison The resources for this summary comparison were: 1. Matter of Competition, Rate Deregulation and the Commission’s Policies Relating to the Provision of Cable Television Service, Report, 5 FCC Rcd 4962 (1990) (“1990 FCC Cable Report”). 2. Annual Assessment of the Status of Competition in the Market for Delivery of Video Programming, First Report, 9 FCC Rcd 7442 (1994). 3. The CA2C 2006 Draft Summary of Vertical Integration This summary document compares vertical integration from 1990, before the program access rules were passed, 1994, after they were enacted, and the current profile. The CA2C does not present this data in the belief that all relevant data is either here or fully accurate. We do believe that this represents a fair starting point to understand an expanded portrait of the industry structures we are working with and how they have changed over time. We again request that the Commission share this information with the referenced cable companies and other major media conglomerates for their review, validation, correction, and expansion as appropriate. The CA2C would like to see this review process result in an accurate composite picture 1 that all parties will endorse as we continue to work on the relevant policy issues. Coalition for Competitive Access to Content (CA2C) Vertical Integration Relevant to Program Access Legislation Draft of 1990, 1994, 2006 Comparison • A “yes” means the programming was subject to vertical integration. • A “Blank” means the programming was cancelled or we have lost track.
