    Comcast Corporation Case Analysis

    Comcast would add nearly 30 million subscribers and achieve a much higher penetration rate in the market, which also gives them the opportunity to increase price, and thus profitability. Nonetheless, Pay TV is declining and the rate of penetration decline is accelerating as viewing television content online become increasingly popular. Powerful competitive forces such as Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Hulu, and now CBS’s standalone product “CBS All-Access” and HBO’s partnership with Apple has formed strong threats to Comcast. With the changing consumer demands and the distinctive needs recognized regarding different customer segments, the question of whether its current business model will still be viable in the marketplace has…

    A Financial Analysis of the Comcast Corporation

    Roughly a decade ago, the dawn of the “On Demand” feature in television broadcasting brought about a change to the broadcasting industry. For the first time ever, audiences were no longer forced to make their schedules around their favorite programs. Companies such as Comcast and one of its primary competitors, Verizon Communications, found success in the early days of the “On Demand” feature primarily due to its convenience. As time progressed however, alternative products entered the marketplace that challenged the success in which the television service providers were experiencing. Netflix Inc., a web-based service provider, directly challenged the “On Demand” feature by rolling out a product in which consumers had the option to watch a variety of shows or movies online by subscribing to their network. As the popularity of products released by Netflix and other competitors increased, mass media organizations such as Comcast and Verizon realized that they could no longer rest on the laurels of the “On Demand” feature, and had to look for ways to add value to their respective products.…

    Case Study: the Evolution of Mtv and Muchmusic

    When they began, MTV and MuchMusic dominated their markets. In fact, one could argue that, MTV in particular, created a completely new market, a market that advertisers were willing to pay dearly to access. Yet today, competition for the ears, eyes, and minds of the youth is fierce and advertisers have many options to reach this fickle market. Aside from traditional sporting and entertainment offerings, MTV and MuchMusic are in bitter competition with websites, video games, cell phones, iPods and a host of other technologies; each of which are teeming with some form of corporate sponsorship. With their dependency on advertiser revenue and their obligations to their respective parent companies, an economic imperative long ago eclipsed any allegiance to music that may have once existed in the upper echelons of these two music broadcasters. MTV and MuchMusic are squarely in the business of providing advertisers access to a particular demographic, the nature of their programming is irrelevant, as long as it captures and holds the right audience. Through an endless cycle of focus groups, opinion polls, ratings reports, and schedule retooling, the former purveyors of…

    The Media Networks division at Walt Disney is the highest revenue earner and also the division that faces the highest level of competition in the media industry. Competition is intensified by the fact that media network sells a preference to a customer and not an actual tangible commodity. A customer’s preference might be influenced by multiple factors such as genre of content that is aired, time of day and moods. Customers also have a variety of substitute choices for entertainment and can opt to play video games, watch a movie on DVD or browse the internet. As a result Disney is affected by diminishing advertisement revenues that directly impact finances. Disney counters alternate and substitute competition in an aggressive approach that involves acquisition and adoption of new technologies.…

    Provision of Television Broadcasting in the Modern Age

    I start with the second question and consider whether broadcasting policy should be directed to “give the public what it wants”? In the UK, the tone of the debate about public service broadcasting was set in the earlier radio era. John Reith, the first Director General of the BBC, wrote,3 “the preservation of a high moral tone is obviously of paramount importance.” And “[t]here is no harm in trivial things; in themselves they may even be unquestionably beneficial, for they may assist the more serious work by providing the measure of salt which seasons.” Coase (1950, page 177) remarked that…

    The Power of Turkish Radio & Television and Satellite-Television in the Netherlands

    Television is a powerful medium. However, Turkish viewers ignore Dutch television and point their dishes to receive TV-stations from their home country. The commercial Turkish stations are more popular than the state broadcast TRT INT, receivable through cable.

    The ‘high-tech savvy’, fast paced video game industry where technology is money, is characterized by short product life spans (12-18 months), innovation, creativity and originality. First mover advantage is huge, and high quality experience rules the success. The movie industry, however, is characterized by ‘nobody knows anything’ rule, where there is no sure formula for a hit. This is different than the video game industry, where market research, trend analysis and incremental innovation can be seen as successful strategies.…
