Measuring ad revenue from cable channels and non-cable channels is almost an artificial distinction these days since the same 5 companies own them both, or at least the content for both.
I wonder what is the total TV ad revenue per year is for all channels NOT owned by Viacom, Fox, Disney, GE, or TW?

Thanks for bringing this up Tom.
Yesterday , while working the thought occurred to me that I should ask John W. why these five companies went on a expansion and buying spree in the '90s, developing new cable networks and gobbling up almost every existing cable network, with the net result that they now control 90% of what EVERYONE watches...again.
If the broadcast networks are SOOOOOOOO great, why not follow John's lead and not worry about cable?
