post two media owns

Now Looking  at the channels I watch ,which are  Bravo , ABC CNBC, E, VH1, and CBS.Their are many company that  controls their messages. Going into more depth into these channels.Walt Disney owns ABC their revenue is 40.1 billion dollars which i think is crazy that their over all revenue it hat high some other channels that are owned my them are ESPN and Lifetime. Bravo, E and CNBC is owned by Comcast Corporation their revenue is 55.8 billion dollars. They are the largest cable company shows  and residential internet service provider and one of the worlds biggest producers of TV shows and motion picture now reaching almost every home in America. they hold 23.6 million cable subscribers. CBS is owned my CBS corporation they own anything that's has CBS as well as Warner brother, their revenue is 14.2 billion dollars. Lastly Viacom organization owns VH1 also Bet , their revenue is 14.9 billion dollars they are the 4 largest media conglomerate the control over 160 network reaching 60 million people . Now that  i have more of a clear understanding that there'are 10 main organizations that own the TV market i can now see how everything we are expose to is to get a larger picture or statement out. by seeing what network are under the same organization i can see how they are owned my the same company their show are very similar to one other just just on a different channel but just about the same story or topic. I am now curious, if the networks where allowed to have more freedom what the would produce. For example Netflix is privately owned and the shows they produce are so different its not like your main stream show which i think is why they do so well .

  1. It is crazy how we can recognize that the storylines are all going to be the same. This is true even with reality TV. I always wonder if the producers tell them to go to a dinner altogether after a problem has occurred, and for certain people to bring up the issues that no one wants to speak on. It is what makes for entertainment and since they can control this, it will happen.

  2. I agree that is shocking to know that all of the major networks are interconnected through several large companies. I was pretty curious about Netflix as well. I always thought HBO was privately owned but theyre owned by Time Warner Cable, but is Netflix really a private company? That's an interesting question to point out or address.
