Cable and satellite network programming is a highly competitive
business in the United States 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. Our commerce and
education division also operates in highly competitive
industries with our
e-commerce
and catalogue business competing with brick and mortar and
online retailers and our education business competing with other
