How has conglomeration changed the movie and television industry?

Conglomeration has greatly effected the movie and television industry. Conglomerations involve corporations joining together to market through television and movies. This allowed hundreds more channels to spawn and advertising companies to market their products to all different audiences. This revolutionized TV forever. Especially now, with Tivo, companies like AT&T, Comcast, and Cox join together with certain channels and all offer different perks and advantages. This gave people multiple different options to choose a TV service, depending on what they like. More and more money gets poured in the television business because of this. Also, channels like HBO and Showtime need to be payed for, but they offer exclusive series and movies that certain people are going to want.

As far as movies, conglomerations have allowed them to be promoted by certain companies and advertisements that help business for both the movie and company marketing them. This process has been working very well for years and made TV and movies an enormous part of our society, economy, and culture. If it wasn’t for conglomerations movies and TV would not be nearly as complex and prominent in our society. Today, marketing is what movie and TV show success really depends on.
