Hey, even “RCA” and “Zenith” are still around. What are they now? Sony’s forgotten label or some Chinese owned brand?

in 2017, Time warner probably would be bought by some new internet start up because they are tired of getting sued and decide to just buy the whole thing. Either that or Google needs Time warner real estate in midtown and buy decide to just buy the company and rip evrything out before putting a giant server mid town.

I’m not sure I’d go so far as to say they all survive. I think a couple of them survive but certainly not all. Some will get gobbled up by other players, some will transform themselves into different entities and some will simply evaporate. The music biz is a great example of this there used to be 6 majors now there are 3.5 and none of them look terribly promising.

You hit the nail on the head. The News Corps, Time Warners, and Viacoms of the world will remain however the must evolve to do so. Take one look at the “changing of the guard” taking place within the major record labels (EMI & Universal most recently) and you understand that they too see what is coming…a little late, but they see none-the-less.
