30 years ago, this list for the main media companies would have been about 50 companies long however now, we only have these main 6 and companies that work under these industries.

The Big Six: These are the industries that control 92% of ALL media in America, not just of the film industry. In Size order (Largest to Smallest), these are the Big Six companies:

In the UK, there is no Big Six, the biggest company is the BBC (British Broadcast Corporation). The BBC is a PSB (Public Service Broadcast) meaning it does not receive any money from advertising as the shows on the bbc are meant to inform and be educational, the BBC receives money from people buying TV licences every year to view BBC shows and broadcasts.
