Media Corporation #4 Viacom

CEO: Sumner Redstone, (aka Murray Rothstein) Annual revenues: $13 billion

Ownership: 180 U.S. radio stations, CBS, MTV, VH1, Nickelodeon, Blockbuster Video, Paramount Pictures, United Cinemas International, Comedy Central, and Infinity Outdoor, the largest advertising company in the world. When Viacom bought CBS, and in so doing violated U.S. media rules regarding excessive media ownership, within a week Senator John McCain proposed a change to those rules. This was no coincidence because Viacom is McCain s fourth biggest career patron campaign financier.
