PROPERTIES + PLAYERS
__A map of the future __
AOL Time Warner's combined value - some $225 billion - will dwarf all previous media mergers. If regulators give their blessing, the new company will control two Hollywood production studios, one of the world's biggest music companies, the largest magazine publisher in the US, nearly half of the nation's most popular cable channels, almost 20 percent of cable customers, and online access for more than half of the Internet users. Here's how the properties and players stack up.
