  • 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.

Hyundai will be the official car of the WUSA, which will air on TNT and CNN/Sports Illustrated beginning in April 2001 . “As the first official sponsor of WUSA, Hyundai receives unprecedented brand association with a hot, new franchise that already has a large, loyal fan base,” said Cutler. “The broad scope of the sponsorship affords Hyundai maximum exposure nationally and locally, both on­air and off­air.” “Once Hyundai had experienced the excitement of the Women’s World Cup in the United States, we knew that women’s soccer had the potential to become an important part of the American sports scene,” said Hyundai Motor America Director of Marketing Paul Sellers. “We’re proud to be the first sponsor of the Women’s United Soccer Association.” “We’re very excited to have Hyundai on board as our first national sponsor,” said Lee Berke, Acting President of the WUSA. “We're glad that Hyundai will receive great value and exposure from their involvement with the WUSA.

  • The Economic Framework for Assessing Comcast's Exclusionary Conduct
    -77- FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION A. The Economic Framework for Assessing Comcast's Exclusionary Conduct 122. Antitrust economics considers exclusionary conduct to be anticompetitive if it impairs a rival's efficiency or its ability to impose price discipline. Such conduct can occur by raising a rival's costs, by degrading a rival's quality of service,256 or by depriving rivals of economies of scale.257 Anticompetitive effects may be realized regardless of whether the rival is driven out of the market entirely;258 they require that the rival faces increasing marginal costs or large upfront costs or both. If the conduct forces the rival to operate on a higher portion of its marginal cost curve, then such conduct would achieve partial foreclosure, and the rival would not be able to constrain prices as effectively. In the extreme case, when the conduct prevents the rival from covering its average variable costs, the conduct would induce exit and thereby achieve complete foreclosure. 123. Exclusionary strategies can take several forms, and such strategies can be used to extend monopoly power from one market into another, or to maintain monopoly power in a !pven market. When the markets in question are vertically aligned, exclusionary conduct is referred to as "vertical restraints," and the effect of such conduct is called "vertical foreclosure.',259 Because regional sports programming, national sports programming, local broadcast affiliates, and online programming are inputs in the production process of video 256. See Steven C. Salop & David T. Scheffman, Cost-Raising Strategies, 36 J. IND. ECON. 19 (1987). 257. See, e.g., Richard A Posner, Vertical Restraints and Antitrust Policy, 72 U.
