PROFILE |
 |
As Italy's #1 private TV network operator, Mediaset has a firm grip on nearly 45% of the Italian viewing audience. Its TV holdings include TV networks Canale 5, Italia 1, and Rete 4; several pay-TV channels; and 40% of Spain's Telecinco. Mediaset also owns advertising firm Publitalia, nearly 20% of Italian telecommunications firm Albacom, and 9% of mobile phone operator Blu. Founder and newly elected Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi (who had previously served in that capacity for seven months in 1994) owns 48% of Mediaset through holding company Fininvest. He has vowed to divest his interest in the company and to reform Italy's conflict of interest laws.
