A+E Networks: About

The company owns and operates a portfolio of TV networks and digital publishing brands, then monetises the audiences those brands attract. On the demand side, it sells advertising inventory and branded content solutions through its in-house sales organisation. On the distribution side, it earns carriage or affiliate fees from cable and satellite operators that pay to carry its channels. This creates value by combining recognisable content brands, repeat audience reach, and multi-platform inventory that can be sold to marketers and distributors.
