The Viacom Γ 2010 cell holds $194,300. That figure comes from FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates: 152 contributions, 54 donors, keyed to the stored string VIACOM. Lifetime for the grouping is $4,344,777, so 2010 is about 4.5% of the roll. Not a viacom pac, not paramount pictures as a studio cell, and not a cable-advertising revenue figure.
Key figures
- Viacom Γ 2010 is $194,300 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 152 contributions from 54 donors.
- 2010 is about 4.5% of the groupingβs $4,344,777 all-cycle total.
- The label is self-reported form text (media employer text), not a PAC.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
The Viacom Γ 2010 join
LobbyVault stores employer and occupation text as grouped strings and election cycles as two-year tags. Where Viacom meets 2010, the itemized individual total is $194,300. That is 152 contributions from 54 donors. The figure is not a corporate treasury transfer and does not identify who received the money. Cite FEC.gov.
The viacom hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub restates a one-key total. This tie keeps both keys. Viacom is media employer text. VIACOM INC, CBS, and PARAMOUNT PICTURES are other keys. Rows that used those other strings are not added into $194,300.
A share of 4.5% versus $4,344,777 is a scale check, not a ranking of cycles and not evidence of a coordinated program. The remaining 95.5% ($4,150,477) lives on other even-year pages for the same string. 2010 is a midterm even-year window; that fact describes the FEC calendar, not which contests received the money.
Scale: $194,300 versus $4,344,777
The groupingβs stored total across cycles is $4,344,777. The 2010 slice of $194,300 is about 4.5% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 95.5% ($4,150,477). Treating 2010 as the entire Viacom FEC story would ignore that remainder. The industry hub is the year index for this string.
Treat $4,344,777 as the denominator for the 4.5% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. This tie keeps 2010 from being folded silently into $4,344,777. Neighboring spellings are not added into either figure.
