Part of Ofcom‟s analysis in support of these conclusions has involved consideration of changes over time in: (a) (b) (c) 3. charges for Sky‟s pay TV services; the quality of services provided by Sky to consumers; and the number of Sky subscribers. 2. In its inquiry Ofcom has put forward a view that Sky has continually raised charges for its pay TV services over time, reducing the value for money received by consumers, while at the same time increasing the number of its subscribers. Ofcom then infers from this assessment that Sky does not face effective competition at the retail level. Sky considers that the facts of the matter wholly contradict this assessment by Ofcom, and the inference that is drawn from it. Sky has already provided Ofcom with significant evidence collected by PwC, which shows that in relation to pay TV services UK consumers are well served compared to their European peers. Similarly, in its Response to Ofcom‟s Third Consultation Document, Sky demonstrated that Ofcom‟s proposition that examination of Sky‟s profitability shows that retail prices for pay TV services are excessive is without foundation.2 4. 1 Paragraph 4.410 of Ofcom‟s Third Consultation Document. Ofcom considers Sky Movies Action & Thriller, Sky Movies Comedy, Sky...

...Victomology Victims of Crimes and the Media Violent crime, gangs, and drugs are tearing our families apart. Violent crime and victims have become an issue in America and the rest of world. The negative effects of television, Movie Theater or any kind of media is affecting our children and teenagers. Statistics indicate a decline in violent crimes in our country and an increase in our national population in prisons. It is indisputable that our families are the victims in these drugs, gangs and organized crime issues in our communities. Nobody can discussed or argue that we need to stop this malicious act of violence. In addition, nobody can disagree that this violent crime is hard to fight. Gangs are born in impoverished sections of major cities. However, gangs and drugs activities are not limited to inner cities. Gangs and drugs are in suburbs and rural communities and in communities of great economic diversity. Gangs do not recruit certain type of race, economy or cultural status. Exist in every level and every kind of community. (Stewart, 1989). Therefore, our problem is everywhere and anywhere. The lack of parental supervision, employment, recreational opportunity and breakdown in family structure are the main reasons why our children are joining the ranks of these organized criminal institutions. It could be wrong to say it, but the truth is these gangs provide them (our children) with enough companionship, protection...

...college things, like going out to eat, going on a date, or out to the movies. People believe that paying college athletes will ruin the tradition and innocence of the game. However, people forget that Olympians get paid, and most of them are amateur athletes. "Gold medallists from the United States receive a minimum of $15,000 for their success (from the U.S. Olympic Committee and the national governing body of the winner's sport), USA Today, Final Ed." These Olympians can also capitalize on endorsement deals and other additional bonuses, most of which are illegal in college athletics. The innocence of the game is already in jeopardy, in a June 24th, 1996 issue of The NCAA News, " Studies indicate that 75 percent of underclassmen have received cash or gifts from an agent." That"s a pretty high number, three out of every four are involved in illegal activities involving agents, and 90 percent of projected first round draft picks have had contact with an agent, (Steve Wulf, Time pg. 94). If they received some compensation for the hard work, this corruption would gradually lessen, because the need for money would lessen. Just recently the NCAA allowed college athletes to get a job, but seriously, where are the athletes going to find the time to work. With classes, schoolwork, practices, and games (which include traveling all over the country), when are they going to fit in time to serve fries at Burger King. "I guess it"s a good thing," says Indiana...

...the late 1800’s in Great Britain when people were cheering at competitive sporting events which then spread to the United States of America. In the United States, the first cheerleaders were from a group of six men from Princeton University, which was called the Princeton Pep Club. The man that organized the Princeton Pep Club was Thomas Peebler. Thomas Peebler was a graduate of Princeton University who started a cheer/chant of “Sis Boom Rah”. Cheerleading has come a long since the Princeton Pep Club, but yet it is still not receiving the respect it should be receiving in today’s world. The history of cheerleading over the past century has evolved from six men in the Princeton Pep Club chanting at a football game to one of today’s most popular and difficult sports for both girls and boys. Cheerleading started as a man’s sport and overtime evolved into a sport that is based mainly on females. When people now a days think of cheerleading, they think of girls flaunting around in their short skirt and tight uniform top, but cheerleading began as a male sport. During the year of 1903, at a University of Minnesota football game, there was a group of six males that created a yell squad, which led to a male cheer fraternity called Gamma Sigma (iSport, History of Cheerleading). The Cheerleading State, which consisted of a group of males who led crowd chants during basketball and football games, was started in 1905 by a group from Texas A&M. The sport of cheerleading...

...Vans primary target market were individuals active in the surfing and skateboarding. Vans developed a marketing edge by providing shoes that would withstand the rigorous wear and tear of the skateboarding sport and it was the only company providing a customizable shoe product. During the 80’s Vans saw some success from marketing in the movie industry, but soon found themselves in bankruptcy after investments in the athletic show market. In 1995, Gary Schoenfeld was named CEO. He shifted manufacturing to Asia due the high manufacturing costs in the U.S. and to introduce a greater range of styles. By lowering costs, Vans would be able to increase margins and be exposed to new distribution channels. Vans man’s product line brought in $182 MM, but women and children’s, combined, offered greater than $100 MM revenue. By maintaining their grass roots beginning, Vans can increase their presence in the men’s, women’s and kids product lines. Humble Beginnings Vans is an American manufacturer of shoes founded in 1966 by Paul Van Doren with his brother James and two other partners.

Both of these groups included a younger segment of consumers from twelve years old through early twenties, including high-school students and the younger skater generation.

...History, Strategies and Future of Legacy Media Today when we think of way to entertainment ourselves we think of either the Radio or Television. When we think of the Radio we think of our favorite songs or those repetitive, irritating, boring yet interesting and amusing talk shows in between mixes. What we do not consider is; where did this entertainment come from? How it actually produces sound? How does it exist or even who brought it into existence? We utilize television for most of our entertainment as well and the same applies. We never question how Television came along, how the picture is projected? How we’re able to see the images in color and so forth. All we care for is celebrity reality shows, amazing food networks and live Sports. The history of these legacy media consists of time, trial and error. Legacy Media as a whole has made a larger impact on the world than actual world issues. Legacy Media today is the money, power and even the respect in all parts of the Earth. It first began in the late 1800s, when Heinrich Hertz detects and produces radio waves. Radio being the first device to allow mass communication: with hopes of being able to communicate wirelessly. Wireless telegraphy, electric telegraphy that does not have wires connecting the endpoints; systems which communicate with radio waves. In 1894, Nobel Prize-winning physicist and inventor Guglielmo Marconi builds his first radio equipment that would ring a bell 30 feet away. Breaking all barriers of Radio...

...Situation Analysis In the 1980s and 90s Disney was seen as an American icon which was credited to its former CEO Michael Eisner for the company’s success, but following the mid-90s Disney had struggled with “brand fatigue” in that it was mainly associated with young children. Disney’s brand concentrated on this narrow segment of the market and Eisner’s successor, Bob Iger, had plans to broaden Disney’s brand to include tweens, teens, and adults. Iger recognized that Disney was more than just a brand but that its cross platform success with such franchise like Cars would help Disney reinvent itself when it comes to entertainment. Disney’s other platforms includes the Disney Channel, ABC, ESPN, Disney theme parks & resorts, publishing, film, and music label. Bob Iger franchise strategy had been supported by the other moves he put into place at Disney and his top priority as CEO was to revitalized Disney’s animation business. In 2006, Disney bought Pixar for $7 billion dollars, and in that same year Pixar released movie Cars, which grossed $462 million worldwide and over $2 billion in merchandise sales each year. Capitalizing on it’s the use of its franchises, Disney sought to broaden the tween and teenage markets through its multiple company platforms such its Hollywood Records music label and Disney channels with such artists and shows such as the Jonas Brothers, Hannah Montana, High School Musical, the Disney Princess, and the list goes on.
