We were looking at television channels and discussing whether they are run by the government, owned privately or are a hybrid. Depending on what sort of channel it is affects what they show/display on the television, as certain shows - such as news programmes - could be extremely biased or selective on what they show, especially if it is government run like China's television is.
Some examples of stations sorted into these three categories are:
| Government |
Private |
Hybrid |
| Xinhuanet News. |
Sky. |
BBC. |
| AGN (Agencia Guatemalteca de Noticias). |
Virgin. |
Channel 4. |
| RT (Russia Today). |
ITV. |
|
| RIA Novosti. |
Disney Channel. |
|
| Russia 1. |
Dave. |
|
|
GOLD. |

We also considered the fact that creative media such as films and fictional television shows are mainly run by three large companies. There may seem like there's hundreds and hundreds of companies out there, but they are generally sub-studios of the main five. These are listed below:
