Media Concentration in the United States: Industry Trends and Regulatory Responses

Overview Electronic media industries in the United States have been evolving through three stages: first, the stage of limited media; now, multichannel media; and in the future, cyber -media. In the lengthy stage of limited media, the major segments of the sector were dominated by monopoly or oligopoly. In the early 1980s, ABC, CBS and NBC had collectively 92% of TV viewership; AT&T controlled 80% of local telephone service and almost 100% of the long distance market; and IBM accounted for 77% of the computer market.
