Back from work and I did a bit more web searching:
A&E - a joint venture of the Hearst Corporation, ABC, Inc., and NBC
<http://www.aetv.com/global/corporate/index.jsp?NetwCode=AEN>
Discovery - Libery Media, Cox Communications, Advance/Newhouse,
John S. Hendricks
<http://corporate.discovery.com/finance/shareholders.html>
Food Network - Scripps - a diversified media concern with interests in
newspapers, broadcast television stations, cable television
networks and interactive media. Appears mostly owned and
controlled by Edward W. Scripps. I didn't follow if further.
CNN, TBS - AOL/TW
Hallmark - Crown Media Holdings - Which is owned mostly by
Hallmark Cards Inc (55%) and about 5% by GM
TWC - Landmark Commications, privately held but a partner with Cox
in Trader Publishing)
<http://www.landmarkcom.com/about/index.php>
Generally I can see cable links in many of the above and might even
assume that AOL/TW is more on the side of cable than their WB stations.
But what's up with A&E? You would think that Disney & NBC would not be
too happy with that statement.
