My media product: Power

A lot of production companies are involved in the making of my media product such as Atmosphere Television, G-Unit Film & Television Inc. and CBS Television Studios but I am going to focus on CBS.

Research

a) Ownership


The parent company of CBS Television Studios is CBS Corporation and they also own 50% of each The CW and Pop TV and they also own CBS Films and CBS Sports Network. CBS Corporation is a PLC. CBS corporation was founded in 1886 as Westinghouse Electric but took the name CBS Corporation in 2006. CBS corporation is a mass media production company.

National Amusements owns 80% of CBS Corporation and National Amusements is owned by the Redstones and Sumner Redstone owns 80% of National Amusements whilst his daughter owns the other 20%. National Amusements also owns 80% of Viacom which was founded by Sumner Redstone.

Leslie Moonves is the president, CEO and executive chairman and he was a big part in the making of the CW network in 2006 which brought together the WB and UPN which is a CBS owned company. He is also the director at ZeniMax Media which is a video game industry.

CBS Corporation is a PLC. And they are a Horizontal integration because they get other people to produce things for them and then get other tv networks to distribute their products for example they distribute some of their products on The CW network, Pop TV and Netflix. And my Product which is Power goes out on the TV network Starz.


b) Operating Model


CBS Television Studios is a company that produces content and also distributes content other companies for them to put on TV Networks or release them as DVD’s.


CBS Corporation is an American mass media corporation focused on commercial broadcasting, publishing, and television production.

c) Products


There has been a lot of products made by CBS Television Studios including Power and those consist of Dynasty, Riverdale and crime Tv series like NCIS and CSI and some of their products like Power, Dynasty, Riverdale and more make into onto Netflix. Some of their products make it on to their own TV network.

They make a lot of crime shows like NCIS and CSI as that is what what a certain percentage of the population enjoy but TV shows like Riverdale and Dynasty are different because Dynasty is a Soap Opera and Riverdale is a teen drama/mystery. Whilst my product Power is a crime drama/thriller.

The Season 3 premiere of Power was and remains Starz's best original series season debut numbers ever and the most-watched episode of any Starz original with 3.26 million viewers with season 4 having 1.68 million viewers.
