Article Abstract:
The information superhighway, the fiber-optic interactive cable system, is the major investment problem for the TV and cable broadcasting industries. Consumers who do not wish to pay more for extra services, along with audience segmentation, will impact earnings of cable providers. Turner, Viacom, and other broadcasters who provide basic programming have the most favorable future for shares in this industry.
