Source: Ad Age DataCenter estimates of U.S. media revenue based primarily on data from financial filings, TNS Media Intelligence, Publishers Information Bureau, BIA and SNL Kagan. Percentages represent a medium’s share of the media pie. For example, in the Time Warner pie, magazines represent 10.6% of TW’s U.S. revenue drawn from media properties. Fifth-ranked DirecTV is omitted from the pies because 100% of its net U.S. media revenue come from one segment. Digital segments are not all inclusive; other units may include some digital revenue.
