Can't tell the players without a scorecard

I was poking around on the BBC's Russia Country Profile page today and found this useful primer on the affiliations of various Russian media outlets:

The press
* Komsomolskaya Pravda - mass circulation, outspoken daily, controlled by tycoon Vladimir Potanin
* Kommersant - liberal, business-orientated, controlled by tycoon Boris Berezovsky
* Moskovskiy Komsomolets - popular daily controlled by Moscow Mayor Yury Luzhkov
* Izvestia - popular daily controlled by tycoon Vladimir Potanin
* Rossiyskaya Gazeta - official government newspaper
* Nezavisimaya Gazeta - influential privately-owned daily
* Argumentiy i Faktiy - popular weekly
* Sovetskaya Rossiya - pro-Communist daily
* Krasnaya Zvezda - Defence Ministry newspaper
* The Moscow Times - English-language daily

Television
* Russia TV Channel - national network, run by state-owned Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (RTR)
* Channel One - national network, 51% owned by state, 49% by private shareholders
* NTV - national network, owned by gas monopoly Gazprom
* Centre TV - commercial, Moscow area
* Ren TV - Moscow-based commercial station with strong regional network

Radio
* Radio Russia - national network run by state-owned Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (RTR)
* Moscow Echo - influential private station
* Radio Mayak - state-run national network
* Russkoye Radio - major private network, music-based
* Voice of Russia - external service, broadcasts in English and other languages

News agencies
* Itar-Tass - state-owned, pages in English
* RIA-Novosti - state-owned, pages in English
* Interfax - private, pages in English

I'm hoping to have time before leaving Moscow to update my links to include more Russian media and information sources, and this is an OK start on that task, although there are definitely a few more I'd add. The main reason I want to improve the links on this site is a selfish one - I'm hoping to continue blogging about Russia from afar, and having a specific list of sites to visit regularly is one way to make that easier.
