As we discuss, the informal report that DOJ will consider the antitrust implications is not a surprise and is likely designed in part to assist those involved in the investig...

Hardman & Co Insight: Streamed content takes over

The Great Correction of 2022 saw the share prices of streamers plunge after market leader Netflix reported a slowdown/fall in subscriber growth. Having formerly been seduced by hectic subscriber growth rates, investors quickly refocused, this time on fundamental metrics such as revenue, margins, profits and cashflow. Since then, streamers have continued to take a steadily greater share of viewing while linear TV continues to decline. But growth in streaming subscribers in the US and UK is now a ...

NSR Policy: House Hearing and Deal Speculation Raise Questions About Q...

In this media focused note, we focus on two events that occurred last week; a House hearing on sports programming rights and speculation that media mogul Byron Allen would make a bid for Paramount Global. We think both events are occurring in an environment in which linear television, the primary transmission path for sports programming and the primary assets of Paramount are in secular decline. Yet curiously, in both the hearing and the deal speculation, there was little attention paid to the...

CHTR quick hit: Charter and Disney reach programming agreement

Charter and Disney reached an agreement this morning that will allow Charter to restore Disney’s programming to its video customers. It appears that Charter secured the most important terms they were looking for. We assume there has been some churn already, though the bulk of the 1.2MM pay-tv subs and the 0.2MM broadband subs that we thought could be lost due to the dispute will likely be retained. Our quick thoughts here.
