Estimates and assumptions are used in accounting for, among </span></div>other things, the valuation of acquisition-related assets and liabilities, allowances for credit losses, programming and copyright expenses, deferred income taxes and related valuation allowances, loss contingencies, fair value measurements, impairment assessments, capitalization of internal costs associated with construction and installation activities, useful lives of long-lived assets and actuarial liabilities associated with certain benefit plans. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CY2020	us-gaap	Prior Period Reclassification Adjustment Description PriorPeriodReclassificationAdjustmentDescription	Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. During 2020, we changed the presentation of certain operating costs and expenses in our consolidated statements of operations in order to better align with management’s approach to monitoring and evaluating such costs. Specifically, we have combined the costs previously reported in the consolidated statement of operations’ captions “other operating” and “selling, general and administrative” into one line, which is now referred to as “other operating costs and expenses.” In conjunction with this change, we have provided additional disclosure of the nature of other operating costs and expenses by function, as set forth in note 14. This change in presentation did not have any impact on operating income or loss, net loss or any of our key performance metrics.
