Publisher's Synopsis
This publication aims to contribute to a better understanding of the legal problems and regulations relevant to limiting concentrations of power in the medium of television. There are three forms of concentration: horizontal - integration among different television broadcasters; vertical - integration of production broadcasting and distribution; diagonal - integration of television and other media. It concentrates on the rules in the EU and looks in detail at the situation in German, France, UK, Italy and Spain. In order to give some outside perspective it also looks at the regulatory regimes in the USA and Russia.
