Cable World - EchoStar, DirecTV Add
Spin to Pitches October 21, 2002
"...These
strong advertising efforts seem to counter the FCC's conclusion
that the merger is anticompetitive, said Barbara Roehrig, president
of the marketing consulting firm B.G. Marketing. "My first
thought was that the FCC was wrong with the merger." Roehrig
said after she saw the spots. "It shows they are putting
big bucks behind competing with cable."
One of DirecTV's spots features a cable employee discreetly ordering
satellite, asking the installer to bring the dish in the back of
the house so he can't be marked as a traitor. "People love
funny, and people love digs at the incumbent." Roehrig said."
