Comcast's Time Warner Cable Deal: Mega Union Leads to More M&A Talk
http://j.mp/1evWf8S (Hollywood Reporter)
Comcast's $45 billion deal to acquire Time Warner Cable could cause
ripple effects across the U.S. pay TV sector and lead to further
consolidation, according to industry observers. Analysts on Thursday
suggested that satellite TV giants DirecTV and Dish Network could
consider another attempt to combine following the unveiling of the
proposed mega-deal that would combine the two largest U.S. cable
operators. "The new super [pay TV operator] also dictates further
consolidation and more deals," said Wunderlich Securities analyst
Matthew Harrigan. He told THR that "a rollup of other players is
inevitable [as companies] need national scale."
