Google is Largest Media Owner

Google — with media revenues of $37.9 billion — is the world’s largest media owner, according to ZenithOptimedia’s “Top 30 Global Media Owners Report.” DirecTV Group, the runner-up, wasn’t even close. It only had revenues of $27.2 billion. Pathetic. News Corporation came in at third, with $26.4 billion.

The big loser from the report — which crunches data from the 2011 financial year — was Time Warner. When the study was first conducted in 2007, Time Warner was the top dog.
