| We study a Hotelling location game where media platforms compete with the same content in two separate markets. The findings show that media platforms may provide less differentiated content if the non-negativity constraint on prices is binding in at least one market. Moreover, content differentiation is decreasing in the size of market where the constraint is binding. |
