    I was reading about the business side of movie studios, and came across this quote:

    "Spielberg wanted to sell DreamWorks to Universal, a movie studio which he considered home most of his career. In fact, Steven’s Amblin offices are still located on the Universal backlot. Parent company G.E. lowered its offer by $100 million, forcing the founders to sell the studio to Viacom, the parent company of Paramount Pictures in February 2006."

    So now DreamWorks' Ambin offices are owned by Viacom, the owner of Paramount Pictures, and is located on the backlot of NBC Universal, which is owned by GE.

    You have 5 different movie/TV company names and 2 conglomerates mentioned in one sale. That's gotta be a record.
