    Viacom, Comcast, Time Warner, And Disney

    America’s system of capitalism ensures that trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit. Because major profits depend greatly on media for their exposure in advertising, it is not surprising that American media companies are some of the most profitable and powerful in the world. As introduced in this project, the four media giants that own most of America’s media are Viacom, Comcast, Time Warner, and Disney. From these four companies comes a sort of illusion of separation throughout all familiar brands of media. This is an unfortunate reality that can be recognized in all of our nation’s trade and industry. When we investigate an array of products on any Walmart shelf, we will find that many of the different brands are produced by the same major brand. One interesting example of this in media is Viacom owning B.E.T. and C.M.T., two extremely different television networks. Each of these networks are designed to appeal to audiences that want a very culturally authentic form of entertainment and yet they are both owned by the same company. I found this particular example to be very entertaining because, the idea of authentic culture in our current time and place is almost comical in my opinion. Comical like DC Comics vs Marvel Studios or even more so like Democrats…

    The Big 6 Media Conglomerates

    The holdings of the Big 6 Giants clearly prove that the media industry is dominated by a few firms in oligopoly. I am sure that most people are unaware of the fact that only a few conglomerates dominate mainstream media. Nonetheless, it is clearly true—the nine current media conglomerates together own more than 90% of the media market. In determining how oligopoly in the media industry affects the messages that people receive, its necessary not only to look at the market share controlled by conglomerates in aggregate, but rather by each conglomerate. I contend that if a single conglomerate controls a substantial portion of the media market, it carries huge control over peoples perceptions and values as a whole.…

    Network effect is seen as a phenomenon where a network service (SNS or PNS) becomes more valuable as the number of users increase. This phenomenon encourages continually increasing membership within the network. This can happen when a user adopts a network service initially to connect with current users, or later, when “everyone” is using the network service.

    Adelphia Communications Corporation

    Adelphia Communications Corporation was one of the largest cable and internet providers in America prior to its declaration of bankruptcy in 2002 due to internal corruption. The executive officers of Adelphia inflated the stock price of the company by falsifying their financial records as well as funneling their debts into other smaller firms so that the large amounts of debt did not show on their financial reports. This lead investors to believe the company was performing significantly better than it actually was. The owners of the company used these investors’ money to take out personal loans for themselves that were backed by the company itself. They acquired homes in New York among other places, private jets, and even a majority ownership in the Buffalo Sabres professional hockey team. They also purchased the naming rights to the stadium of the Tennessee Titans professional football team in Nashville, Tennessee. It was renamed the “Adelphia Coliseum.”…

    Enron Corporation

    Enron Corporation was formed in 1985, led by Kenneth Lay, as a result from the merger of Houston Natural Gas and Internorth that specializes in natural gases and commodities. In 1990, the company hires Jeffrey Skilling to lead the trading of commodities under deregulated market and Andrew Fastow later that year (USA Today, 2002). Deregulation of the energy markets allowed companies to place bets on future prices, and Enron was poised to take advantage (Investopedia.com). Skilling developed a staff of executives that, by the use of accounting loopholes, special purpose entities, and poor financial reporting, were able to hide billions of dollars in debt from failed deals and projects (Wikipedia). The expose started on August 2001 when Sherron Watkins, an Enron Vice president, write and meet with Mr. Lay expressing concerns about Enron’s accounting practice to result to “Implode in wave of accounting scandal” and on October 2001, Enron reported a third quarter loss of $618 million and solicited help from the US government official which includes the Federal Reserve chairman, Alan Greenspan, Treasury Officer Paul H. O’Neil but they did not succeed on getting any help. (New York Times, 2013). In November 2001, Enron admitted it overstated its profits dating back to 1997 at $600M and agreed to be acquired by Dynegy at $9B but later was called off leading to Enron filing to bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the United State Bankruptcy code on December 2, 2001. SEC also extends investigation to cover Andersen. The bankruptcy led to the layoff of 4,000 employees wiping out their pension plans (theguardian.com, 2006). The company was on Fortune's "Most Innovative" in the United States listing for several years running and reached #7 on the Fortune 500 list in 2000. Its bankruptcy in December 2001 was the largest such filing in United States history (tshaonline.org,…
