Abstract

Channel repertoire is the number of available channels that viewers choose to watch. This study examined channel repertoire in the presence of several “new media environment” variables, including remote control devices (RCDs). Channel repertoire and RCD usage were measured within a 2X2 matrix of VCR ownership and cable subscription. Results indicate that the use of RCDs and VCRs do not substantially increase channel repertoire. The study suggests the influence of some motivations that underlie RCD usage and channel repertoire.
