can you give an example? I'm not understanding just how that would play.

If you notice the majors, Viacom/CBS, cross polinates all their products together, as does Disney/ABC, AOL/TimeWarner, and Fox. So they you don't really see advertisements for other products of other media companies. A good example of that would be CBS's music news comes from VH1/MTV and not some other reputable source like Variety or Billboard.
