Your numbers are way out.
Disney has a market cap of $87B and that gets you Disney, Disney Theme Parks, ABC, ESPN, The Disney Channel, A+E, Lucasfilm, Industrial Light and Magic, and a hell of a lot more to boot.
News Corp has a market cap of $57B and that gets you 20th Century Fox, Fox, and a long list of international broadcasters and producers.
Viacom has a market cap of $26B.
Any of those gives you pretty much all the content you can shake a stick at in both TV and Film, as well as several broadcasting networks both in the US and globaly and a long list of other assets that would likely be packed up and sold off. Even accounting for a leveraged buy-out premium, Apple could buy either Disney, or News Corp and Viacom and instantly be one of the worlds biggest media companies.
- drakaal 14y agoMarket cap, an "price to buy" are not the same. Anyone who has been through a purchase can tell you that. Why do you think Lucas was so expensive? Market cap is the price of the outstanding stock, and doesn't reflect the cost of the assets, or the will of the primary holders to keep their shares.
