    Vertically Challenged Will cable and telco TV distributors buy content to compete in the new OTT order?10/10/2016 8:00 AM Eastern By: Mike Farrell Share7 Marshawn Lynch, a retired Seattle Seahawks player, scales a mountain on an episode of NBC's 'Running Wild With Bear Grylls.' BEN SIMMS/NBC TakeAway With OTT upending TV’s distributor-content producer relationship, media companies are taking a new look at an old idea: vertical integration. As Wall Street still waits for more consolidation among video distributors, many such companies are eyeing deals to buy content assets that they had jettisoned just a few years ago to unlock hidden value. So-called vertical integration, the marriage of distribution and content under one corporate roof — owning the pipe and the water — has always looked better on paper than in practice. For pay TV providers, owning a large block of the content they make available to customers would seem to lead to lower programming costs and greater exclusivity. But operators found out the hard way several years ago that isn’t necessarily the case. As the industry grew, Federal Communications Commission programming- access rules made it virtually impossible to have truly exclusive content. With that need to make carriage deals as arm’s-length transactions, limiting any possibility for deep discounts, there was little value in keeping programming and distribution together. Several companies cut the vertical cord by spinning off content assets over the past two decades, including AT&T and Liberty Media in 2001; Cablevision Systems (now Altice USA) with both MSG Networks (2010) and AMC Networks (2011); Viacom and CBS in 2006; and Time Warner Inc.
