I don’t think that a company should own a studio and the network, and program for their own network. It hurts the creativity – it is not a level playing field.
Meaning of the quote
When a company owns both the place where shows are made (the studio) and the place where people watch shows (the network), it can make the process of creating TV shows unfair. This is because the company can give more attention and resources to the shows it produces for its own network, instead of treating all TV shows equally. This can limit the creativity and variety of shows that people get to watch, since the company is not creating a fair environment for different TV shows to compete.
