While enjoying a familiar "Sunday-in-denial-of-the-upcoming-work-week-TV-catatonia-o-rama" today, I was struck by the fact that there were two channels presenting afternoon-long "100(ish)-top" lists. On Comedy Central, it was "100 Top Stand-ups of All Time;" E! TV viewers could enjoy "101 Most Starlicious Makeovers." Both time sinks shared the fetid reek of celebrity self-promotion, and I was prompted to wonder whether the two networks shared the same media parent company.
Any-hoo, a quick Google yielded the Columbia Journalism Review's "Who Owns What" list. Enjoy.
