Mediaset S.p.A., known as Gruppo Mediaset in Italian, is an Italian-based mass media company which is the largest commercial broadcaster in the country. Founded in the 1970s by former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi and still controlled today with a 38.6% stake by his family holding company Fininvest, the group competes primarily against the public broadcaster and market leader RAI, La7, and News Corporation's Sky Italia.
Mediaset's headquarters are in Milan, Lombardy. Many of its studios are located in the Milano 2 area of Segrate, a municipality bordering Milan, where broadcasts of local station TeleMilano (now airing nationally as Mediaset's Canale 5) began in 1978. After merging with various local broadcaster to form the Canale 5 syndication, much production was moved to Cologno Monzese, where the infrastructure of the former Telealtomilanese was present. The company currently has three main television production centres, in Segrate, Cologno Monzese and Rome.
Due to their proximity to (or encirclement by) Italy, Croatia, Switzerland, Malta, San Marino, the Vatican City and Slovenia also receive Mediaset broadcasts.
Love is a blessing, Love is a vow
Love is the reason we're standing here now
The future before us, tomorrow's untold
But Love is the promise that whatever it holds
I will hold you, I will hold you up
I will hold you, I will hold you up
So give me your bad days, Give me your fear
Bring all your burdens, just lay them down here
Cause I'm not gonna leave you, when your world becomes a war
I'm staying in the trenches, cause you're worth fighting for
Cause I will hold you, I will hold you up
And I will hold you, I will hold you up
And I will hold you up in victory
Watch your light outshine the stars
And when you're breaking down and weary
Just be weary in my arms
There will be trials, There will be tests
As hard as I'm trying for you, I'm human at best
But baby don't worry, if you should start to fall
Just cling to the one Love that's bigger than us all
He will hold you, He will hold you up
I know that He will hold you, He will hold you, He will hold you up
