It will surprise no one that 2008 was the worst year of the century for media deals of the century, with 109 deals totaling just over $2 billion in value in those sectors of the media market it has been tracking for a dozen years What is surprising, perhaps, is that compared with other years of this decade, the 2008 numbers are not that much worse. There have been three years since 2000 when the total deal volume in our media sectors was less than $3 billion -- 2003, at 2.7 billion, 2004 at 2.9 billion, and 2008 at $2.0 billion. In the deal count, this year's 108 deals topped the counts in 2000, 2002 and 2003, and in fact does not look far behind the deal count of recent years. (PRWeb Jan 4, 2009)
