I think Comcast are the biggest Pay TV platform (either cable or satellite) in the US and they are most certainly a content provider, in fact they are just in the process of buying NBC. Don't Time Warner also have a cable network and channels too?

It is very common in Europe for platforms to provide content too, I suppose Canal Plus France are the best example and I think these are the best to compare with rather than US companies.
