TV Network Loyalty Survey Equity Research Industry Note October 2, 2013 Industry Update Media: Entertainment Barton Crockett 212-632-6625 3rd LCM network loyalty survey reaffirms content [email protected] leverage over distribution William Bird, CFA 212-632-6440 Highlights: Working with online survey specialist Clear Voice [email protected] Research, LLC, we've completed our third TV Network Loyalty Howard Ma Index, gauging networks' leverage to extract retransmission and 212-632-6012 affiliate fees from pay TV providers. Like before, we measure this [email protected] by asking over 2,000 consumers if they would cancel or switch Thomas Le, CFA 212-632-6852 pay TV providers if a network were dropped. Once again, we find [email protected] that content has sizable leverage. Average cancel intent across the group was little changed at 19%, with broadcast networks Companies Mentioned near or above 40%. ESPN at 33%, Discovery at 28%. We added Ticker Price Rating Price Target regional sports and premium networks to the survey and found CBS $55.76 BUY $61.00 they garner loyalty comparable to or higher than ESPN. DIS $64.83 BUY $76.00 ■ While strong, seasonality lowered loyalty. We conducted DISCA $83.23 BUY $110.00 the survey over the week leading into Labor Day, a seasonally FOXA $33.98 BUY $42.00 slow period for TV that was further impacted by a high profile STRZA $29.02 NEUTRAL NM blackout of CBS-owned TV stations on Time Warner Cable. TWX $66.68 BUY $75.00 Yet average cancel intent across the group was little changed, 19% this time, vs. 20% in December 2012 and 19% in May VIAB $84.33 BUY $101.00 2012. Respondents were similar to national averages in key demographic categories. The survey has a margin of error of +/- 2%. ■ Broadcast, ESPN and Discovery retain loyalty leads. Broadcast networks retained their loyalty lead, topped by CBS at 44%, followed by NBC, ABC and Fox at 43%, 42%, and 37%, respectively. Average loyalty for RSNs was on par with ESPN's 33%. Premium nets garnered an average 38% cancel intent, but since only 33% on average subscribe, weighted average loyalty was 13%, topped by HBO at 17%. ■ Football bolstered CBS' leverage over Time Warner Cable. We asked Time Warner Cable subscribers if they would cancel or switch because of the CBS blackout, and 44% said they had or would, with 41% of those potential cancellers saying they would act if the blackout lasted into the start of the NFL season. So we don't think it's a coincidence that the dispute was settled right before NFL started on CBS. ■ Program fee shift potential. While this is more a theoretical exercise than a statement of what's likely to happen, if affiliate and retransmission fees were allocated according to loyalty as tallied here, Discovery's fees could more than triple while Disney's could fall over 50%. SEE PAGES 24-25 FOR IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES AND ANALYST CERTIFICATION Effective May 10, 2005, Lazard Frères & Co. LLC ("LF&Co.") transferred its capital markets business (which includes equity research, syndicate, sales and trading) to a new privately-held company, Lazard Capital Markets LLC, which is neither owned nor controlled by LF&Co. LF&Co., which is part of publicly-traded Lazard Ltd, has retained, among other things, its investment banking business (including its mergers and acquisitions and financial restructuring practices). SURVEY SAYS THE POWER OF CONTENT IS GROWING For the third time, we have used Clear Voice Research LLC for an online survey of over 2,000 consumers to gauge loyalty to TV networks, and the leverage that network owners have to extract more fees from cable and satellite TV distributors. In all three surveys, we presented consumers with a list of 53 basic cable and broadcast networks, and asked, “If this network were dropped by your pay-TV service, would you cancel or switch providers?” On top of that, in this survey for the first time, we also queried consumers about loyalty to 35 leading regional sports networks (RSNs) and the three leading premium networks, HBO, Showtime and Starz. Survey respondents were broadly similar to U.S. averages in income, age, sex, race and geographic dispersion (Exhibit 22). This survey was carried out from August 24- 29, while the second one was conducted from December 18-31, 2012 and the first one was done from May 15-22, 2012. Average cancel intent across all networks of 19% was a tad lower in this survey than the 20% average in December, but on par with the 19% in May. We are in the early stages of repeating this survey, and believe the variance could be tied to seasonality. People were less interested in TV in late August as they start back to school or wind up their summer vacations, and the new fall shows had not yet started, nor had the NFL and college football. The encouraging point for content owners is that many Americans say they would cancel or switch TV service providers if a network were dropped. We believe it’s hard for a cable or satellite TV service provider to absorb a potential loss of 19% of their subs, given substantial fixed costs. This, we believe, leaves them little ability to stop the current trend of high single-digit growth in content costs. Pain for cable and satellite TV in this instance is a gain for content, supportive of our positive stance on CBS, Viacom, Discovery, Disney, 21st Century Fox and Time Warner, all of which are covered by Lazard Capital Markets with BUY ratings. TV NETWORK LOYALTY INDEX In Exhibit 1, we show the cancel or switch responses for this survey, compared to the other two. We find it notable that the relative ranking of networks was little changed. The results do suggest seasonality, and that Americans like TV more in December, as the Super Bowl approaches and the NFL moves towards playoffs, than at other times of the year.

Entertainment 3 In Exhibit 2, we highlight the change in loyalty by network. The network with the largest gain was Fox Soccer Channel (rebranded to FXX on September 2, after the completion of our survey), up 8% to 18%. That could be correlated to the start of the English Premier League on August 17, shortly before our survey was conducted. Otherwise, we observed modest loyalty declines (average of 1%) at nearly every network, to levels observed in May 2012. The largest declines, of 300 bps to 400 bps, were at the broadcast networks.

  • THE COLOR of NEWS: How Different Media Have Covered the General Election
    THE COLOR OF NEWS: How Different Media Have Covered the General Election When it comes to coverage of the campaign for president 2008, where one goes for news makes a difference, according to a new study. In cable, the evidence firmly suggests there now really is an ideological divide between two of the three channels, at least in their coverage of the campaign. Things look much better for Barack Obama—and much worse for John McCain—on MSNBC than in most other news outlets. On the Fox News Channel, the coverage of the presidential candidates is something of a mirror image of that seen on MSNBC. The tone of CNN’s coverage, meanwhile, lay somewhere in the middle of the cable spectrum, and was generally more negative than the press overall. On the evening newscasts of the three traditional networks, in contrast, there is no such ideological split. Indeed, on the nightly newscasts of ABC, CBS and NBC, coverage tends to be more neutral and generally less negative than elsewhere. On the network morning shows, Sarah Palin is a bigger story than she is in the media generally. And on NBC News programs, there was no reflection of the tendency of its cable sibling MSNBC toward more favorable coverage of Democrats and more negative of Republicans than the norm. Online, meanwhile, polling tended to drive the news. And on the front pages of newspapers, which often have the day-after story, things look tougher for John McCain than they tend to in the media overall. 1 These are some of the findings of the study, which examined 2,412 stories from 48 outlets during the time period from September 8 to October 16.1 The report is a companion to a study released October 22 about the tone of coverage overall.
