Scripps Networks Interactive Inc's Comment on Competitors and Industry Peers
Cable and satellite network programming is a highly competitive business in the
U.S. and worldwide. Our cable and satellite networks and websites generally compete
for advertising revenue with other cable and broadcast television networks, online
and mobile outlets, radio programming and print media. Our networks and websites
also compete for their target audiences with all forms of programming and other
media provided to viewers, including broadcast networks, local over-the-air television
stations, competitors’ pay and basic cable television networks, pay-per-view
and video-on-demand services, online activities and other forms of news, information
and entertainment. Our networks also compete with other television networks for
distribution and affiliate fees derived from distribution agreements with cable
television operators, satellite operators and other distributors.
