The prognosis for satellite television in the UK
Abstract The likely impact of satellite television in the UK has been much exaggerated. The impact is, and will continue to be, conditional on the nature of competitive services of which terrestrially broadcast television is overwhelmingly the most important. If the UK terrestrial services remain unchanged a limited impact of satellite television is envisaged. Television satellites offer a technical potential to deliver additional services in national markets or to deliver a transnational, European, service. But the difficulties of profitably establishing either are considerable. Linguistic and cultural differences in Europe inhibit development of a transnational audience and as yet there are insufficient transnational ‘European’ brands to finance services through advertising. Finance of satellite services by subscription entails significant transaction costs.
How Much Does UK Television Cost
