QUOTABLE

“The industry—the old media industry, both transport and content—needs to continue to consolidate, to get scale, to be efficient. There’s too many streamers for sure, and obviously, broadcasting is morphing into sports distribution, at least for now, keeping it alive if not highly profitable… At the moment, big tech has the upper hand. Distribution for big tech is free on the internet, thanks to network neutrality, a regulatory decision that was put in by the Obama administration and really did cripple the traditional cable media alignment.”

– Liberty Media Chairman John Malone on CNBC’s “Squawk Box”
