Media Fragmentation, 1960’s to 2010’s
Source: Business Week, February 16,1998
Most Americans watch the Big Three Networks every night
UHF Stations bring more choices, and the fledging cable industry intoduces a few new channels like HBO and Turner’s TBS Superstation
The VCR becomes commonplace, letting consumers watch recorded shows and movies whenever they want. Cable explodes, with new networks like CNN and MTV.
Digital compression and two-way networks allow cable companies to offer even more channels and services. DBS services grow more entrenched. As TVs are linked to the Internet, new programming delivered via the Internet takes hold. Result: 300 choices at any moment.
Broadcasters may use high-definitionTV spectrum to launch more channels. Internet chat evolves into networked virtual reality games, interactive movies, and other activities being hatched by MITs media lab and others. News Corp. forecasts 1,000 channels, now called “context windows”.
Direct-broadcast satellites are introduced offering hundreds of channels. Cable systems are slowly upgraded with more channels
1960s 1970s 1980s 1990s 2000s 2010s
TV faces the worst audience fragmentation of all. Here, News Corp. tracks and forecasts the explosion of TV-viewing choices available in any given hour. Once there were three options; soon there will be 1,000

Increased fragmentation of the media suggest that media mergers are the only way to grow through “synergy.”
When executed properly, using content across different media platforms, can yield substantial media benefits.
A combination of media companies build a portfolio of media brands that the public have known and trusted through the years. Larger media companies have more resources to invest in new product ventures

Media mergers don’t work because of cultural clashes between the acquiring and acquired companies.
Media mergers are costly. Joint ventures are a more realistic way to pursue new opportunities.
Large media companies discourage innovations because of pressure to please Wall Street and to show a financial return for a merger.

Local newspapers provide differentiated content with local news coverage not found in the national news sites.
On a local scale, local newspapers sites are usually the most visited news sites within a local market.
Newspapers can create a portal site for their communities, similar to Boston.com, which will protect both their editorial and classified advertising franchises.

Point - Counterpoint on Cross Media Ownership
Relax/Eliminate Media Ownership RulesRelax/Eliminate Media Ownership Rules
Existing Federal laws prohibiting cross-ownership of a television station and a newspaper in the same market or limiting the number of television or radio stations that a single media company can are outdated.
With the individuals having increased access to other sources of media, such as cable channels and Internet sites, concentration of media in single market cannot be achieved. Media usage is much more fragmented today than ever before
