Compensation for our PEO, Mr. Roberts, reflects the amounts reported in the “Summary Compensation Table” for the respective years. Average compensation for non-PEO NEOs in 2023 is for Messrs. Cavanagh, Armstrong, Reid and Ms. Khoury, in 2022 and 2021 is for Messrs. Cavanagh, Shell and Watson and Ms. Strong, and for 2020 is for Messrs. Cavanagh, Shell, Watson and Reid.
      
Peer Group Issuers, Footnote [Text Block] TSR is cumulative for the measurement period beginning on December 31, 2019 and ending on December 31 of each of 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, calculated in accordance with Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K. The composition of the peer group (the “TSR Peer Group”) is the “Peer Group Index” set forth in the Stock Performance Graph of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.      
Changed Peer Group, Footnote [Text Block] As discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, we updated the composition of our TSR Peer Group in 2023 following the change in our segment reporting to simplify the calculation, remove DISH Network Corporation due to its smaller market capitalization and to add Fox Corp. The 2023 Peer Group Cumulative TSR for the prior TSR Peer Group was $91.18.

Compensation “actually paid” for the PEO and average compensation “actually paid” for our non-PEO NEOs in 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020 reflects the respective amounts set forth in columns (b) and (d) in the above table, adjusted in the table below, as determined in accordance with SEC rules. For awards that remain unvested or unexercised as of the end of the year, the ultimate value that will be realized upon vesting or upon exercise may be more or less than the current fair value below. See the “Option Exercises and Stock Vested” table on page 45 for the value of any such amounts received in 2023.

Fair values are calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 as of the end of the respective fiscal year, other than awards that vest in the covered year, which are valued as of the applicable vesting dates. Stock option fair values were calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, determined based on the same methodology as used to determine grant date fair values but using the common stock closing price on the applicable revaluation date, and in all cases based on volatility, term to exercise, dividend yields and interest rates determined as of the revaluation date. For PSUs and RSUs granted prior to 2021, the fair values were determined by multiplying the Class A common stock closing price on the valuation date by the number of outstanding shares, adjusted for dividends accrued, and, for PSUs as defined in the Glossary to FASB ASC Topic 718, taking into account the probable outcome of the PSUs’ performance conditions as of the valuation date. For PSUs granted in 2021 and subsequent years, fair values were calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, determined based on the probable outcome of the performance condition as of the applicable year-end revaluation date(s).
No awards were granted and vested within the same year in any period covered by the table above, and no dividends, dividend equivalents or other earnings are paid on equity awards prior to their vesting dates.

Tabular List [Table Text Block]
(6) The following table sets forth an unranked list of the financial performance measures “most important” in 2023 for linking our NEOs’ compensation “actually paid” to company performance, which are the financial measures used in our annual cash bonus and long-term incentive program, as specifically listed below.
Performance Measure
Adjusted EBITDA
Free Cash Flow
Revenue
ROIC
Adjusted EPS growth (relative to S&P 100 EPS)
These financial quantitative measures generally reflect those used internally to measure our performance and externally to report to investors, and we believe that, taken together, they provide a holistic measure of Company growth, shareholder value and overall financial performance. We do not consider any one of the above performance measures to be the single most important financial measure for our company or executive compensation design. However, for purposes of compiling the above table in compliance with the SEC rules, which require us to present one of these most important measures, we are presenting Adjusted EBITDA. For more detail on these measures and why we believe that they are important in structuring our incentive compensation programs and linking pay with performance, please see the discussion under “Our Approach to Compensation” on page 29.
