TV/Radio/Magazine/Media companies are a *very* different thing, for a start you've got it all back to front
Media companies are in the business of selling audiences to advertisers, period. If they can get away with squeezing a subscription from you as well then it's pure gravy. Having a distinct lack of serious competition helps them in this endeavour. Publishers really shouldn't be lumped in with this bunch; they tend to be smaller, face more competition, expose themselves to higher risks, and give a greater proportion of revenue goes to content creators.
