General Electric

You are most like G.E. You are more complex than the other conglomerates. You are sneaky about what and who you own, and you like to promote yourself without letting on you little media tease.


Walt Disney

You are most like Walt Disney. You are cute and wholesome on the outside, but have a little wild side called Miramax. Keep flirting with those MPAA ratings.


News Corporation

You are most like News Corporation. You like to monopolize conversations and make sure your opinions gets across by making sure no one else is heard, although you like to pretend that you are being "fair and balanced."

Viacom

You are most like Viacom. The hipster. You know jsut how to cater to everyone. Whether it's BET or CMT, you know just how to appeal to everyone without being caught.

CBS

You are most like CBS. You are the boring grandfather of the group, owning mostly radio stations and boring television. We can always count on you for reruns, but you offer little excitement in comparison to your counterparts.

Time Warner

You are most lie Time Warner. You are the cool kid on the block. You play all the latest programming and own the high-end cable paystations. You play some porn, but only late at night, making you the mullet of the media conglomerates: Business on CNN and party on HBO.
