See:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Geographic_Society

Its various media properties reach about 360 million people monthly.[4]

October 2007, National Geographic created a new Global Media group composed of its magazine, book publishing, television, film, music, radio, digital media and maps units. Tim Kelly, 51, president and CEO of National Geographic Ventures, has been named president, Global Media.

Too much consolidation. Very sad for a lifetime reader like me.
