Notes:
(1) Other media entity is defined as a DBS operator, broadcast network, or broadcast television station licensee. Liberty Media programming interests are listed because of Liberty’s ownership interest in News Corp.
(2) The National Cable Satellite Corporation (C-SPAN) derives 97 percent of its revenues from affiliate fees (i.e., subscriber fees from MVPDs). The remaining three percent is provided by various investments. Affiliates have no ownership or program control interests in C-SPAN.
(3) Both Charter Communications’ parent company Vulcan Ventures and Time Warner, Inc. subsidiary AOL have equity interests in Oxygen Media. Time Warner holds more than a five percent equity share in Oxygen; however, we have no information with regard to the voting status of that investment. For purposes of the channel occupancy rules (47 C.F.R. §76.504), nonvoting stock is not attributable to an MSO. For purposes of the program access rules (47 C.F.R. §§76.1000-1200), nonvoting stock is attributable to an MSO if the company holds more than a five percent equity interest. See Vulcan Capital, Other Portfolio Holdings, http://capital.vulcan.com/Template.aspx? contentId=7 (visited Nov. 2, 2005); AOL Time Warner, Oxygen Media And AOL Time Warner Expand Strategic Alliance, Apr. 3, 2001; Clarity Partners, Portfolio: Oxygen Media, at http://www.claritypartners.net/portfolio.html# (visited Oct. 31, 2005).
(4) Time Warner Investments has more than a five percent equity interest in SiTV. However, we have no information with regard to the voting status of that equity investment, thus we list it as nonvertically integrated. See note (3); see also Time Warner Inc., at http://www.timewarner.com/corp/businesses/detail/tw_investments/ index.html (visited Nov. 28, 2005).
(5) NBC-Universal plans to migrate Trio to “online only” format in 2006. Abbey Klaasen, Trio Cable Operation to Relaunch in Broadband Format, Advertising Age, Nov. 21, 2005.
(6) In the 2004 Report, we reported that Time Warner held a 5.1 percent equity interest in Ovation. Currently, Time Warner holds less than five percent equity in Ovation, and thus is listed as an unaffiliated network this year. See 2004 Report, 20 FCC Rcd at 2875 Appendix C, Table C-1.
