More on Mediaset
Description from Wikipedia:
Mediaset S.p.A. is an Italian-based media company which is the largest commercial broadcaster in the country. Founded in the 1970s by Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi and still controlled today with a 38.6% stake by his family holding company Fininvest, the group competes primarily against the public broadcaster and market leader RAI, and News Corporation's Sky Italia.
Mediaset's headquarters are in Milan, Lombardy. Many of its studios are located in the Milano 2 area of Segrate, a municipality bordering Milan, where broadcasts of local station TeleMilano (now airing nationally as Mediaset's Canale 5) began in 1978. Due to their close proximity to Italy, Croatia, Malta, San Marino and Slovenia also receive Mediaset broadcasts.
In addition to its domestic television interests, Mediaset also operates a series of news, entertainment and sport websites; holds 50.1% of the Spanish broadcasting firm Gestevisión Telecinco; and heads a consortium which owns the television production house Endemol.
