FACTBOX: Big media execs like iPods, movies

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The movers and shakers of the media industry love their music, movies and video games just as much as anybody. But how exactly do they spend their spare time?

At the Reuters Media Summit in New York this week, reporters asked each of them: "As someone in a position of power the in media business, what form of media do you consume? Are you a YouTube junkie? A serial MP3 downloader?"

Oddly enough, some executive don't partake of their own media as much you might think. And only two people mentioned the granddaddy of old-school media -- books.

Here is a sample of their responses.

RICHARD PARSONS, CEO AND CHAIRMAN, TIME WARNER

"I like music. I have iPods everywhere. I had the whole bunch of (the Warner music collection) files put on before we sold it. And I listen to (online service) AOL Music all the time. That's my form of relaxation. Jazz."

MEL KARMAZIN, CEO, SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO

"Music has never been that important to me. What Sirius channel I listen to the most in my top ten would not be a music channel. I would tell you there's business channels so I do an awful lot of stuff businesswise. I haven't been to a movie theater since, what, the 'Sound of Music'? I can't remember the last time I have gone out on a night and went to a movie theater. I love TiVo and have for a long time. I have on my TiVo all the 'Law & Order' (episodes), all of the Jerry Bruckheimer (shows, like 'CSI')."

JEAN-MARIE DRU, CEO, TBWA/CHIAT/DAY WORLDWIDE

"We are old hippies. I read a lot of music magazines. I have five kids, so we are 7 at home, and we have more than 15 or 16 iPods in the family."

DOUG MORRIS, CEO, UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP

"My own taste is I still listen to CDs. I like to read about the artists, to know who produced the record. I like to know who wrote the song. I like the movies. I don't like all the reality shows. (However) I got to like 'Dancing With The Stars' enormously. I liked the winner; but I thought the other guy was a better dancer."

REGGIE FILS-AIME, PRESIDENT, NINTENDO OF AMERICA

"I've joked ironically that I'm playing less video games today than when I joined the company, for lack of free time. I consume a lot of media ... both network and cable television. I consume radio, music on my iPod. I guess I'm one of the last few individuals who buy CDs. But I love my iPod, I use it relentlessly when I travel."

LARRY PROBST, CEO, ELECTRONICS ARTS

"Movies, cable television and reading. I read a lot of magazines -- Time and in the last couple of weeks Business Week, Sports Illustrated, Vanity Fair. I've paged through my wife's Town and Country."  Continued...
