	Cable Networks
		Cable networks are programming services that deliver packages of information or entertainment by satellite to local cable television systems.
		Cable advertising rates are not as high as those for commercial networks such as NBC, ABC, or CBS because audiences are not as large.
		Very few new cable networks were introduced in the mid to late 1980s, in part because many cable systems had filled all their channels and had no room for newcomers.

	Cable TV: Content Analysis
		Cable is increasingly becoming an anchor medium, in stark contrast to where it began, and this is particularly true in the morning and evening.
		Cable packages were also slightly shorter than on network nightly news, with an average length of 142 seconds, versus 164 for nightly news on broadcast television.
		And, the three networks are virtually indistinguishable in the level of repetition, the percentage of new stories through the course of the day and the level of substantive updates.

	Cable television - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cable television is a system of providing television, FM radio programming and other services to consumers via radio frequency signals transmitted directly to people’s televisions through fixed optical fibers or coaxial cables as opposed to the over-the-air method used in traditional television broadcasting (via radio waves) in which a television antenna is required.
		Cable TV has had little success in Africa, as it is not cost-effective to lay cables in sparsely populated areas, and although so-called "wireless cable" or microwave-based systems are used, "direct-to-home" satellite television is far more popular, especially in South Africa.
		Cable television is normally regarded as a natural monopoly, and most areas are served by a single provider, though Australia is characterized by extensive duplication.

	Cable TV: Audience
		Cable news was one of the most-cited sources for election news throughout the presidential campaign.
		Cable viewership increased from 4.8 million on the convention's first night to 6.8 million on the Thursday night of John Kerry's acceptance speech.
		While total viewership on both network and cable television was roughly the same between the Democratic and Republican conventions, Fox News's surge in viewership during the Republican convention seemed due in part to partisan Republicans' flocking to that network.

	Applying WDM Technology to Undersea Cable Networks
		For example, TAT-12/13 [2] and TPC-5 [3] cable networks, in-service since 1996 and originally designed and installed to operate with a single carrier channel at 5 Gb/s, are now being upgraded with a second and then third wavelength in the case of TAT-12/13, with each wavelength providing an additional 5 Gb/s of capacity [4].
		This is particularly advantageous to undersea networks where the number of fiber pairs in the network is limited by the physical constraints of the undersea cable and the design of the repeater housing.
		While undersea networks can rely on alternate facilities (typically other cable facilities or possibly satellites) for traffic restoration in the event of catastrophic failures due to external aggression (e.g., a ship anchor cutting a cable), undersea cable traffic capacity is getting too large to be economically and reliably restored via satellite.

	Cable networks now beating out broadcasters for viewers - Dec. 3, 2003
		Cable has beaten broadcasters in the little-noticed July sweeps period in the past, when broadcasters air reruns or alternate programming and overall viewership is lower, and it has beaten the networks in a handful of non-sweeps periods.
		Comparing the ad-supported cable networks to the six major broadcast networks -- CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, WB and UPN -- the switch from broadcasters to cable during the recent sweeps is also evident, though by a more narrow margin.
		Of course because there are dozens of major cable networks compared to a relative handful of broadcast networks, advertisers must still turn to the broadcasters to reach the larger audiences in one bite.

	Texas company plans supercharged cable modems \| CNET News.com
		Advent Networks, a company co-founded by former Time Warner cable technologist David Pangrac, says it can supercharge many existing cable networks to handle Internet speeds 20 to 50 times faster than what subscribers typically get from cable modems.
		The cable modem industry has already coalesced around a standard technology, and anyone offering something outside this is unlikely to win customers quickly among the large operators that dominate the business, the more skeptical analysts say.

	Cable (CATV) Data Networks (Linktionary term)
		The cable network mimics the over-the-air radio frequency broadcast signals that you would receive via a TV antennae, but they are carried on cable.
		Cable operators have had to deal with this problem by preventing users from setting up Web sites at the far end of the network, where there is the most contention for the upstream channel.
		Cable operators are working to provide a number of services to their customers, including audio and video servers that can serve up music and movies.

	More Cable Networks Decline Commercial-Ratings System - WSJ.com
		Distribution of cable programming isn't nearly as uniform as it is on broadcast television, and Nielsen thus can't track commercial minutes on their outlets as well as it does on broadcast television, the cable executives say.
		The absence of cable networks is bad news for advertisers, who want to compare how audience levels change as a program goes to commercial break across all TV networks.
		Cable networks' decision to stay out of Nielsen's service for now "may create a two-tier perception" among advertisers, says Lyle Schwartz, managing partner and director of national broadcast research and marketplace analysis for WPP's GroupM.

	Cable Networks' Share of Nat'l TV Dollars Increases
		The cable networks’ share of all national television advertising revenues increased almost 3 percentage points to 28.3 in the 1998/99 TV season versus the year before, according to Cabletelevision Advertising Bureau analysis of recently-released Competitive Media Reporting data.
		This gain came at the expense of both the broadcast networks and syndication, whose shares declined by 2.6 percentage points and.3 points respectively.
		An important contributor to ad-supported cable’s revenue growth in 1998/99 was investments by dot-com advertisers, who channeled 41 percent of their national TV dollars into the medium.

	Wired for politics - The Boston Globe
		Cable networks have come to the parties' quadrennial confabs for years, but if their programming hasn't hewed strictly to the news, they've often had to elbow their way inside, fighting for floor passes, work space, and respect.
		Four years later, cable networks still had to fight for credibility, not to mention a place inside the convention hall.
		That's one reason niche cable networks are eager to cover the convention, Donlon said.

	CTI Networks : DSL vs. Cable & Satellite
		Cable users connect to the ISP on a shared network medium, the coaxial cable that runs into every cable customer's home.
		The same coaxial cable that provides Internet access runs into every cable customer's home and the transmissions work by broadcast, meaning the data is exposed at any point in a "cell." Major security concerns with this technology have been in part alleviated by the availability of personal firewall products and helped by provider encryption.
		Network setup and equipment will vary by provider; the average cell size they deploy is a key element to the quality of the service.

	Cable TV Talk - Nielsen Defines Cable Networks, OKs Nick at Nite
		Nielsen put out the client clarification at the request of cable programmers, including the ABC Cable Networks Group and Lifetime Television, which voiced concern about primetime ratings now being issued for Nick at Nite, Nickelodeon’s adult sitcom block that airs during just part of primetime.
		According to Nielsen’s client memo, "To qualify for syndicated measurement by Nielsen Media Research, a cable network must regularly telecast contiguous periods of programming amounting collectively to at least 15 hours of programming each week" for at least a quarterly measurement period.
		The ratings company also issued some guides regarding how "total day" is defined for measurement purposes, saying that cable networks can determine their own definition, as long as it meets a few caveats.

	Cable Positive
		Calling Cable Positive's work "unique, because it is both a resource for the industry and a vehicle for it to act collectively on a critical issue," the Kaiser Family Foundation recently released a new national study of the presence of Public Service Advertising on a select group of both cable and broadcast networks.
		The study, entitled "Shouting to be Heard: Public Service Advertising in a New Media Age", concluded that the broadcast and cable networks surveyed devote an average of 15 seconds per hour to airing public service advertising (PSAs), with most of them running in the middle of the night.
		Cable Positive's PSA efforts-which represent an industry-wide public service response from the cable industry without having any legal requirement to provide airtime, as the broadcast industry does-was the only industry-wide PSA response cited in the Kaiser study.

	Cable Modems to the Rescue?
		Talk to any cable modem vendor and you will get an earful of statistics: the number of households passed by cable networks, the number of households that subscribe to cable TV, the number of households with PCs and the number of households already on-line.
		Although the cable TV industry has talked about enhanced services for years, clearly it is reluctant to upgrade to two-way at a time when it faces serious competition from direct broadcast satellite.
		The trick is to use the cable network for the downstream and a telephone "return" for the upstream.

		Cable networks Nickelodeon and Cartoon were busy last week writing kids upfront business, particularly with advertisers determined to get into the pre-Christmas “hard eight” weeks and pre-Easter weeks, but the general entertainment upfront in cable has yet to take off.
		The slower pace stands in contrast to last year when the kids cable networks were surprised by an upfront that started sooner and moved more quickly than in past years.
		Buyers also pointed out that the major cable networks are asking for hefty opening CPM increases, which no one is willing to pay at the outset of the market.
