Brief Excerpt from Industry Overview Chapter:

The TV and radio broadcasting industry in the US includes about 1,300 TV stations and 7,000 radio stations, with combined annual revenue of $50 billion. Large companies include Sinclair Broadcast (TV) and Clear Channel (radio). The industry is highly concentrated: the 50 largest owners of radio stations account for more than 70 percent of segment revenue, and the 50 largest owners of TV stations account for almost 90 percent of segment income. A midsized radio station has annual revenue of $5 million; a midsized TV station close to $40 million.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Revenue is driven mainly by advertising. The profitability of individual stations depends heavily on the programming mix. Stations in large markets have an advantage because they can reach a larger audience. Small stations can compete successfully by targeting a particular demographic group, or by serving small markets. Average annual revenue per employee is $170,000 at radio stations and $325,000 at TV stations.

PRODUCTS, OPERATIONS & TECHNOLOGY

Both radio and TV stations provide a variety of programs for consumers. About two-thirds of industry revenue is due to TV, one-third due to radio. TV and radio stations sell advertising time to local and national advertisers. TV stations receive 60 percent of revenue from national and regional advertising and 35 percent from local advertising. Radio stations receive 70 percent of revenue from local advertising.
