Entertainment & media
Merger and acquisition activity in the US entertainment and media (E&M) industry is on a strong growth trajectory, and this year is projected to reach levels not seen since 2001, according to
PricewaterhouseCoopers' 2006 M&A insights: US entertainment and media industry, published by PricewaterhouseCoopers' transaction services E&M practice.
Increasing levels of E&M industry consolidation—and deconsolidation—activity are being driven by a number of trends, led by the convergence of media, communications and technology; shifting consumer media consumption habits; and the increasing involvement and influence of private equity firms in deal making activity. Also fueling this activity is a move by some global E&M conglomerates to separate or divest non-core assets in an effort to increase shareholder value, according to the PwC report.
