Why Media Companies Will Feel the Pinch if AT&T &
T-Mobile Seal the Deal

When the No. 3 U.S. ad spender, AT&T, makes a bid to acquire a marketer that spends $500 million-plus domestically, the media world braces itself. But AT&T's $39 billion bid for T-Mobile could mean fewer ad dollars for U.S. media companies -- if the deal goes through.

Just not at first. If history is any guide, the combined entity will likely, over time, spend less than the $2.7 billion they collectively spent in U.S. measured media in 2010, according to Kantar Media.

If the Federal Communications Commissions and Department of Justice approve the deal -- this will probably take a while -- media companies could enjoy an initial uptick in ad spending as the new entity tries to get the word out. After all, it happened before: AT&T's stated ad spending, including measured media and other marketing expenses, peaked at $3.43 billion in 2007, after AT&T acquired regional provider BellSouth Corp., according to financial filings. That bump reflects heavy spending that year to rebrand Cingular as AT&T, which the carrier gained full ownership of during the acquisition.

If AT&T and T-Mobile become one entity, the marketer will have to let T-Mobile's 34 million subscribers -- and any potential customers -- know that it's all just AT&T. (Last time, the tagline was "Cingular is now the new AT&T"; AT&T spokesman declined comment for this story.)

AT&T's ad spending then dropped to $3.05 billion in 2008 and $2.79 billion in 2009 -- one indication of efficiencies found from advertising one brand. However, spending rose to almost $3 billion in 2010, reflecting heavy spending to roll out U-verse, according to filings.

The silver lining is that the two other major wireless carriers -- Verizon and Sprint -- will probably not stand pat. Sprint is already highlighting its position as way-under underdog in the face of AT&T T-Mobile.

"A combined AT&T and T-Mobile would be almost three times the size of Sprint, the third largest wireless competitor," the company said in a statement. "If approved, the merger would result in a wireless industry dominated overwhelmingly by two vertically-integrated companies that control almost 80% of the US wireless post-paid market. ... The DOJ and the FCC must decide if this transaction is in the best interest of consumers and the US economy overall, and determine if innovation and robust competition would be impacted adversely by this dramatic change in the structure of the industry."

The telecom market has traditionally been highly reactive -- remember the "Map for That" ad battle between AT&T and Verizon over 3G coverage? A new leader in U.S. wireless service could mean Verizon and Sprint will be up spending to combat the new giant. For one, Verizon, which is the No. 1 U.S. carrier for now, will likely have to scrap its current position as "America's Largest and Most Reliable Wireless Network." If the deal goes through, AT&T will have the largest market share in the U.S., with more than 38% to Verizon's 31%, according to ComScore's December figures.

TV is Still on Top Among Media

Among Media, TV Is Still on Top as Time Spent on the Web Grows, but Ad Dollars and Viewers Stick With TV

The internet is consuming ever more of our waking moments, not to mention ever more ad spending, but that doesn't mean that traditional media is the loser. At least not when "traditional media" means TV.

According to the latest research from eMarketer, advertisers are spending more than ever on the broadcast networks and cable, around $60.5 billion on commercial time this year, making TV the richest media segment, with 39.1% of all ad spending, up from 38.6% in 2010. The research firm attributes the share growth to the "recovering economy," but also found the industry is expanding at the expense of other media, specifically newspapers and magazines, and to some degree the internet.

The durability and growth of TV has to come as a surprise to many who predicted that TV dollars would shift to the web along with the growing amount of time consumers spend entertaining themselves on Facebook, Hulu and YouTube.

"Even though online advertising has been robust, it hasn't stopped advertisers from keeping the bulk of their budgets right on TV," eMarketer CEO Geoff Ramsey said, pointing out that even in spite of consumers' healthy appetite for content on laptops and cellphones, it's not having any discernible effect on their TV habits, or on the amount of money marketers are looking to spend to get in front of their faces.

EMarketer estimates that $64.5 billion will be spent on TV advertising next year, almost double the amount marketers will spend on the internet. "TV remains supreme because it's still seen as a mass-reach vehicle that drives awareness," Mr. Ramsay said. But in an age of simultaneous media usage where one media often drives another and back again, it will become harder to justify discrete budgets.

Simultaneous media consumption has become a regular habit among Americans, according to Nielsen Co. Since 2009, around 60% of the TV audience has been regularly clicking through the internet while watching their favorite shows, a fact that is more astounding when considering we're watching more TV than ever, averaging about 35 hours per week in early 2010, vs. 33 hours a week in 2009. But we're not distracting ourselves into oblivion. It turns out that people aren't watching Fox's "Glee" while checking e-mail, but they are more likely commenting on the latest episode on Twitter and Facebook while scrolling through websites such as IMDB to check a particular actor's resume or scan synopses of previous episodes.

"The internet is fueling the TV content," Mr. Ramsay said, noting how the two media have become much more blurred. And as more people adopt the practice of watching internet content on their TV screens, whether via specialized set-top boxes or even a jerry-rigged set up, it will become harder to discern where TV begins and the internet ends, Mr. Ramsay said. "We're already staring to see the semblance of this now," he said, "but TV will remain dominant for some time."
