I need to know how many employees work for the following cable
networks: TBS, ESPN, TNT, USA, Nickelodeon, A&E, TNN, Lifetime, ABC
Family, MTV, Discovery, AMC, VH1, Weather Channel, Food Network,
Travel Channel, CNN/FN, National Geographic, ESPNews, Tech TV, Oxygen,
Game Show, Golf Channel, Speed, CMT.
If you can answer most or all of these I will be so excited! However,
I need to know the employees per network. For
example, if you go to cnn.com it will say they have a staff of over
4,000 worldwide- this is NOT what I need!! CNN as a network has about
2200 employees. Of course, be sure to include the sources of information.

Thanks!

I could not find the requested information for the following networks:
TBS,TNT, A&E, VH1, Travel Channel, CNN/FN,  National Geographic,
ESPNews, Tech TV, Golf Channel, Speed, CMT.  These seem to be owned by
much bigger entities, which you may already have information on, and
for which it is much more difficult to find results.

Other databases that may give you similar information are below, and
can usually be freely accessed through business school libraries of
universities.

I hope that this is helping you,
Claudietta

That was fantastic! THANKS
