I trace my roots back to a 1971 spinoff from Columbia Broadcasti­ng System, when I became a public company. I merged with Paramount Communicat­ions in 1994 and CBS in 2000, and then split from CBS in 2005. Today I’m a creator of television programs, movies, games, podcasts and other consumer products. With a market value recently north of $11 billion, I reach more than 4 billion viewers in 183 countries with my networks, which include Nickelodeo­n, Nick Jr., MTV, BET, Comedy Central, VH1, TV Land, CMT and Logo. My Paramount Pictures is America’s oldest film studio. Who am I?

Last Week’s Trivia Answer

When you think of luxury, you should think of my (long and complicate­d) name. I’m the result of a 1987 merger, but many of my businesses were launched long ago. One of my wine businesses took shape in 1593, for example. Based in France, I’m a purveyor of wine, champagne, cognac, fashion, leather goods, perfumes, cosmetics, watches, jewelry and more. Brand names under my roof include Chateau d’Yquem, Dom Perignon, Veuve Clicquot, Christian Dior, Fendi, Givenchy, Bulgari, Kenzo, Celine, Hublot, TAG Heuer and Sephora, among many, many others. My market value recently topped $175 billion. Who am I? (Answer: LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton)
