...evolving media environment, the Weinsteins are multiproduct, multichannel. "One of the most important things is the ability to do a lot of movies and slot them in various places," says Harvey. "Some will go directly to TV or video or the Net. Others will go to theaters. It's a brave new world." Plans call for 18 big-screen projects in 2007, with an equal or greater number going direct to video. "The emphasis on theatrical is to be pickier," he explains...

Some analysts agree. "Revenues are growing faster than costs," notes Morgan Stanley's Sarah Simon. (After-tax profits for the past six months were up 18%.) Still, Murdoch faces increasing competition. A multichannel provider called Freeview has won 5 million customers in Britain in little more than two years, while cable operators NTL and Telewest recently launched video-on-demand services that challenge Sky's movie business. F & C's Hayes notes that a share buyback launched by Sky in November could lead to "creeping control" of Sky by News Corp. That's just the sort of worry that rankled...
