US entertainment groups have enjoyed strong revenue growth thanks to pay-TV, subscription video-on-demand and international sales, despite headwinds on the advertising market and downward pressures on retail pay-TV prices.

Media merger and acquisitions have mainly failed, but strengthening the hand of the content producers in relation to distribution channels remains relevant and arguably even more important due to the sheer financial and audience size of digital operators, although the studios’ pricing power remains unchallenged.

21st Century Fox could then justify a new bid for Time Warner, although it will struggle to address TW’s objections to the previous offer without taking on a huge pile of debt.
