  • Comcast/NBC Universal Merger CASE STUDY
    Comcast/NBC Universal Merger CASE STUDY Client In 2010, US cable company Comcast, a Multichannel Video Programming Distributor, and NBC Universal Inc (NBCU), a broadcast and for-pay programming provider, sought BLOOMBERG TV government approval for their proposed merger. During the merger review, Bates White Partner, Duke University professor, and former FCC chief economist Leslie M. Industry Marx submitted a report on behalf of Bloomberg TV, a video programming provider that had concerns about the merger impeding its effective competition in this market. COMMUNICATIONS Professor Marx suggested a number of remedies that were subsequently imposed on the merging parties by the FCC. Professor Marx showed how the integration between NBCU-owned CNBC, the dominant business channel, and Comcast, the dominant programming distributor in areas where demand for financial news is highest (e.g., New York and Chicago), would greatly increase the merged firm’s ability and incentive to anticompetitively foreclose Bloomberg TV from accessing end users (TV viewers and Internet users). After explaining the economic theories that led to a conclusion regarding competitive harm from the merger’s vertical integration, Professor Marx empirically measured the extent to which the merged firm could distort competition in the provision of financial news programming. Among other avenues, competitive harm could come from Comcast’s refusal to include Bloomberg TV in some of its programming bundles. This action would place Bloomberg TV in a tier with fewer subscribers, thereby disadvantaging Bloomberg TV and making end users more likely to turn to CNBC. Professor Marx also proposed conditions that could alleviate the anticipated competitive harms she had identified.

  • Achieving "The Franchise": the Comcast-Nbc Universal Merger and the New Media Marketplace
    ACHIEVING "THE FRANCHISE": THE COMCAST-NBC UNIVERSAL MERGER AND THE NEW MEDIA MARKETPLACE Thomas Curtint I. INTRODUCTION In 1997, then-Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC" or "Commission") Reed Hundt delivered a speech to the leaders of the cable industry in which he described the future of cable television in terms of what he called "the Franchise."' According to Hundt, this model "consists of the core package of the most popular TV channels and the most popular way to deliver them." Hundt acknowledged that the cable industry "has made huge inroads on the delivery side," and classified broadcast television as "the other side of the Franchise." 2 The Chairman further forecasted that "the core pro- gramming package may or may not be possessed by local broadcasters in the future."' Nearly thirteen years after Chairman Hundt foretold an all-in-one entertain- ment content and delivery service, the Comcast Corporation ("Comcast") is on its way to realizing this vision of "the Franchise," as the media delivery giant undertakes efforts to merge with NBC Universal.' If successful, the merger would give the nation's largest cable corporation control over NBC Univer- t J.D. Candidate, May 2011.
