Ah, for the old days, when everything wasn't owned by somebody else. Koppel or Letterman?

Yes. Koppel is owned by U.S. Robotics and Letterman is owned by the Hello Deli.

Well, if the government doesn't stop the next round of mergers that all the companies are now pushing for, the acronym will get a lot longer than that!

"Live, from the USA&ESPNBCNBC-SPAN studios in New York -- an ABC-BBC-CBCBS Joint Venture of MTVH1, WBETNTNN, and PBS -- a News Corporation Corporation, it's Jayvid O'Lennorman!"

Well ESPN is already a wholly owned subsidiary of ABC, so it would be "Live from the USABCNNBC-SPAN studios in New York -- an BBCBCBS Joint Venture of MTVH1, WBETNTNN, and PBS -- a News Corporation Corporation, I'm your announcer, Corporal Obergruppenfuehrer Wolfcastle. And heeere's Jayvid O'Lennorman!"

CBS, MTV and VH1 are all owned by the same (as well as CMT, Nickelodeon, TV Land and I think some others...but those weren't mentioned in the previous posts so it's not relevent)

owned by the same COMPANY I meant. I mean really, who is "the same" and why would he own anything?

I forgot UPN, TNN, BET, M2, Showtime, The Movie Channel, FLIX, Sundance Channel, Comedy Central, Noggin. And on the TV station side there's Kingworld, Paramount Pictures, Blockbuster, Simon and Schuster and Infinity Broadcasting.

And you thought AOL Time Warner owned everything.

Meh. I wasn't much concerned with ownership. I just wanted to form the longest strings of network names that I could, for effect. <g> In truth, about 5 companies own most of the major television networks and services. http://www.nowfoundation.org/communications/tv/mediacontrol.html

And on that note, here's why commercial FM and AM radio suck today -- why every station sounds the same, even between different cities, that is... http://www.radiocrow.com/About/radio_mega-mergers.htm
