Monday, April 15, 6:15 AM The EU has approved Liberty Global's (LBTYA) $15.8B acquisition of Virgin Media (VMED), saying it doesn't have any competition concerns as the companies operate pay-TV networks in different European countries. The deal will pit Liberty against News Corp (NWS) satellite-TV affiliate BSkyB (BSYBY.PK), or John Malone against Rupert Murdoch. (PR) Comment! [M&A, Top Stories]
Friday, March 1, 9:29 AM Telefonica (TEF) sells its U.K. wireline voice/broadband opts to BSkyB (BSYBY.PK) for £200M ($300M). ISP Review observes the business had 560K subs as of Q4, down from a peak of 672L in Dec. '10. Telefonica has been working hard to pare its massive debt load: according to yesterday's Q4 report (.pdf) net debt fell by €5B in 2012 to €51.3B ($66.7B), and Telefonica is hoping to bring it under €47B ($61.1B) by the end of 2013. 1 Comment [Tech, M&A]
Tuesday, February 5, 7:53 AM Shares of Virgin Media (VMED) shoot 15.1% higher premarket after talks about a takeover by Liberty Global heat up. If a deal goes off, the combined company could pose a serious challenge to BSkyB (BSYBY.PK) in the U.K. Comment! [Consumer, Global & FX, On the Move]
Tuesday, January 22, 7:30 AM BSkyB (BSYBY.PK) sells its 33.3% stake in Manchester United Television Network back to the soccer club for an undisclosed amount. The channel was launched over 15 years ago as a joint venture between BSkyB and ITV. Comment! [Consumer, Global & FX]
Tuesday, November 20, 2012, 7:44 AM BSkyB (BSYBY.PK) says it raised $800M in a bond offering for general corporate purchases and possible M&A activity. UBS analyst Polo Tang thinks an acquisition is likely with liquidity levels running high. Comment! [Global & FX, Consumer]
Thursday, September 20, 2012, 4:56 AM Following an investigation in the wake of the phone-hacking scandal, British media regulator Ofcom finds that News Corp. (NWS) affiliate BSkyB is "fit and proper to hold its broadcast licenses." However, Ofcom slams former Sky Chairman James Murdoch, who's now deputy COO at News Corp, saying that his behavior was "difficult to comprehend and ill-judged" and that he "repeatedly fell short" of his duties. (PR) Comment! [Tech, Consumer]
Monday, July 16, 2012, 11:38 AM BSkyB (BSYBY.PK) will challenge Amazon's (AMZN -0.5%) LoveFilm and Netflix (NFLX -1.5%) in the U.K. with a standalone Internet service that will cost subscribers £15 ($23) a month for digital content. The company maintains that it's not worried about cannibalizing its pay TV subscriber base or setting itself up to see more cord cutting in a common theme that's also being heard on this side of the pond from networks and providers. 2 Comments [Consumer]
Tuesday, June 26, 2012, 8:01 AM Shares of News Corp. (NWS) move up 2.8% in premarket trading off of reports tipping off that the company may be split in two. Liberum Capital's Ian Whittaker speculates Rupert Murdoch's motivation behind a potential spinoff of the company's publishing division is that it would enable a freed-up News Corp. to make another run at British Sky Broadcasting (BSYBY.PK). Comment! [On the Move, Consumer, M&A]
Wednesday, June 13, 2012, 2:52 PM BSkyB (BSYBY.PK) and BT Group (BT -3.1%) win the rights to air English Premier League games domestically with a combined bid of £3B ($4.6B) - marking a 70% increase over the price on the current contract set to expire at the end of 2012. International rights will be awarded later this year, with both Disney's (DIS +0.2%) ESPN and News Corp's (NWS -0.5%) Fox in the mix. 1 Comment [Global & FX, Consumer]
Monday, June 11, 2012, 9:22 AM Comcast (CMCSA) denies a NYT story it is considering a bid for BSkyB (BSYBY.PK). "This is complete rubbish, speculation, and inaccurate," says a spokesperson. The Times says it is standing by the story. Comment! [M&A, Consumer]
Friday, June 8, 2012, 4:15 PM Comcast (CMCSA) is in the preliminary stages of exploring if British Sky Broadcasting (BSYBY.PK), which is 39% owned by News Corporation (NWSA), might be an acquisition target. Comment! [M&A]
Wednesday, May 30, 2012, 9:30 AM Amazon (AMZN) strikes a deal with NBCUniversal that allows Lovefilm members in the U.K. streaming rights to Universal Pictures titles. Lovefilm keeps upping the ante in the U.K. after Netflix (NFLX) arrived on the streaming scene and with BSkyB (BSYBY.PK) now also in the mix. Comment! [Consumer, Global & FX]
Tuesday, April 24, 2012, 12:47 PM James Murdoch receives another grilling at a U.K. inquiry, where he again washes his hands of responsibility for the various phone hacking and other dubious practices at News Corp.'s (NWS) U.K. ops. Murdoch also denies he tried to use News Corp.'s power in the media to get its bid for BSkyB (BSYBY.PK) approved. Tomorrow, his Dad appears. Comment!
Monday, April 23, 2012, 8:56 AM U.K. regulator Ofcom launches an investigation into Sky News following its recent admission that it twice authorized its reporters to break into emails for "the public interest." Sky News is owned by BSkyB (BSYBY.PK), in which News Corp. (NWS) holds 39%. Comment!
Friday, April 13, 2012, 9:54 AM A British parliamentary report into the phone hacking scandal may lead to News Corp. (NWSA -0.9%) being forced into cutting or selling its stake in highly profitable BSkyB (BSYBY.PK), having already dropped its bid to buy it outright last year. The report is widely expected to criticize Robert Murdoch's firm, raising the possibility that British broadcast watchdog Ofcom will take action. Comment! [Consumer]
Wednesday, April 4, 2012, 8:07 AM The dramatic exit of James Murdoch from BSkyB (BSYBY.PK) gives his father another crack at acquiring the 60% of the company he doesn't already own. A renewed bid by News Corp (NWS, NWSA) might take a year to go off with a government committee still studying the issue of media ownership and regulators determining what makes for a "fit and proper" owner of a media concern. Comment! [Global & FX]
