Wording of statement edit

I wonder about the wording of the statement "In France, the show was shown on the channel La Cinq, then owned by former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi". To me, though other might see it differently, this would imply that Berlusconi was the former Prime Minister when he owned La Cinq and when the series was broadcast on it. Yet this would not seem to fit with the dates as Berlusconi did not become Prime Minister of Italy for the first time until 1994 and La Cinq appears to have ceased to exist in 1992. Therefore would it not make more sense to say something like "In France, the show was shown on the channel La Cinq, then owned by the future Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi." Alternately does his ownership of the channel really need to be included in this article? If not then the issue would be solved by simply saying ""In France, the show was shown on the channel La Cinq." I wonder what other editors think about this?
