Author

Abstract

This article examines the efforts of Comcast to be the leader in video-on-demand. Brian Roberts, the chairman and CEO of $18-billion-a-year cable television giant Comcast, and Steve Burke, the firm's chief operating officer, are describing a video-on-demand service that they are rapidly rolling out, without much fanfare, to their 21.5 million customers. What's more, their customers have eagerly seized more control over their TV viewing. In just 18 months, four million subscribers have been hooked up to video-on-demand, and usage of the service is increasing the way Internet traffic did in the late 1990s. Even if they prove to be wrong about the future, Roberts and Burke have to be taken seriously when they say their aim is to revolutionize--once again--the way we all watch television. It is about control--and even more choice. This time viewers will choose from a menu of thousands of programs--they'll watch shows, not networks. Viewers will watch what they want, when they want, with the ability to pause, stop, restart, and save the programs. While Comcast is trying to change the world, the entire cable industry is in the fight of its life with the direct-to-home satellite-TV providers, newly energized by Rupert Murdoch's acquisition of DirecTV.

Abstract

Using a 2009 cross-sectional database of digital cable systems in the United States, this study examines the combined effects of vertical integration and regional concentration (cable TV clusters) on the carriage and tier positioning of cable networks. Focusing on four basic cable network segments—the outdoor, cartoon, movie, and Comcast affiliated networks—this study finds that vertical integration has reduced program availability for cable subscribers by increasing their access to integrated networks and by limiting their access to unaffiliated networks. It also finds that an increase in the regional concentration of cable systems positively affects the availability of overall basic cable networks, regardless of vertical ownership. An increase in regional concentration is also associated with a decrease in the effects of vertical integration, suggesting that system efficiency through regional concentration may mitigate the vertical integration effect.
