As film, broadcast, and cable grew from fundamentally separate industries to interconnected, synergistic components of global media conglomerates, the concepts of vertical and horizontal integration were redesigned. The parameters and boundaries of market concentration, consolidation, and government scrutiny began to shift as America's politics changed under the Reagan administration. Through the use of case studies that highlight key moments in this transformation, Jennifer Holt explores the politics of deregulation, the reinterpretation of antitrust law, and lasting modifications in the media landscape. Holt skillfully expands the conventional models and boundaries of media history. A fundamental part of her argument is that these media industries have been intertwined for decades and, as such, cannot be considered separately. Instead, film, cable and broadcast must be understood in relation to one another, as critical components of a common history. Empires of Entertainment is a unique account of deregulation and its impact on political economy, industrial strategies, and media culture at the end of the twentieth century. 606 $aMass media$xOwnership$zUnited States 606 $aMass media$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States 606 $aBroadcasting$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 606 $aTelecommunication$xDeregulation$zUnited States 606 $aTelecommunication policy$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMass media$xOwnership 615 0$aMass media$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aBroadcasting$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aTelecommunication$xDeregulation 615 0$aTelecommunication policy 676 $a338.4/7302230973 700 $aHolt$b Jennifer$f1968-$01038698 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457084303321 996 $aEmpires of entertainment$92460446 997 $aUNINA
