Time Warner tops this years list. The top 30 companies collectively generated $215 billion in media revenues. The rankings are based on revenues from activities that support advertising. The revenues are from 2005, or the nearest equivalent for companies whose financial years are different from calendar years.
In all, 16 of the top 30 media owners are from the U.S. The other countries with media owners in the top 30 are Japan, France, the U.K., Germany, Italy and Mexico. Non-American companies on the top 30 list include Axel Springer, Bertelsmann, BSkyB, ITV plc., Fuji TV and Televisa.
Two new-media companies are in the top 30: Google, at 13th, and Yahoo!, at 15th.
The ranking forms part of a new report from ZenithOptimedia called the Top Thirty Global Media Owners.
