Gray Media Inc 's Comment on Competition and Industry Peers
The competitive landscape for television stations involves competition for audiences, programming, and advertisers. Affiliates of FOX and CW retain a larger portion of advertising time inventory and related revenues compared to affiliates of the Big Three networks. Cable network programming competes with broadcast television programming, although no single cable network consistently achieves audience levels comparable to major broadcast networks. Despite growing competition from cable channels, streaming services, digital platforms, social media, and internet-delivered video channels, television broadcasting remains the primary distribution system for mass-market television advertising. Multichannel video programming distributor (MVPD) systems influence competitive positions by providing cable networks and distant television station signals, thereby increasing competition for viewers. Additional sources of competition include streaming services, connected televisions, internet websites, mobile applications, wireless carriers, direct-to-consumer video distribution systems, and home entertainment systems.
