An article titled Googlopoly in the July issue of MEDIA magazine explores Google's expanding media empire and how it might affect the drtv ad industry. Google has gained a foothold in the TV, radio, newspaper and online ad businesses, and they now own the largest online video site. Here's how Google's media assets are allocated among the various mediums and how those assets were created over the last year:
They purchased dMarc to establish a presence in the radio industry and also formed a relationship with Clear Channel to gain inventory on 675 radio stations.
- Their acquisition of YouTube for $1.65 billion establishes them as a leader in the user-generated video business.
