Friends from the ULA, have told me about this website.
It shows the major arts/media conglomerates, and there aren't that
many.

http://www.stopbigmedia.com

This is by far the easiest to navigate, most comprehensive
site on these conglomerates I"ve seen.
This updated list has Eight major companies. We used to have 6
- has the tied turned? Is the era of conglomerate control of
the arts and media starting to loose its grip? We can only hope.

Here are the 8 arranged by their gross profits - though like #1 GE
they may have profits from businesses outside of the arts and media.

An easy way to remember them is by the tv networks they own:
(I've listed the major ones in parentheses). Note this isn't some
vague,
unidentifiable, hidden-door, threat. These 8 are real and easy
to see and identify.

BIG EIGHT

1. GE (NBC)
2. Time Warner (WB)
3. Walt Disney (ABC)
4. Vivendi
5 Bertelsmann
6. Viacom (used to own CBS but sold it 12/05!)
7. News Corp (FOX)
8. CBS (CBS, UPN)

Notes I think Vivendi is a small player in the US,
Bertelsmann is mostly publishing, and music; and
the Viacom/CBS split may be a sign of future unmergers!
Let us hope so.

Check out the site and let me know what you think.

2 weeks in a row, please e-mail me - thanks.
