You'd think the financial collapse would've created a more competitive landscape.

Nope.

Remember too that this interlocking control feeds into itself several times. So you have a news outlet printing news about something ABC/Disney does (like Dancing with the Stars). Then you have music royalties paid on music that is broadcast - so when crap music is forced onto the radio, that artist gets paid (or at least the music company gets paid, they are supposed to share with the artist).
