- Tuesday, January 1, 8:00 AM LodgeNet Interactive (LNET) has filed for bankruptcy protection as part of a plan in which Californian investment firm Colony Capital will take over 100% ownership of the provider of TV, Internet and other media services to hotels and health-care businesses. Colony will invest $60M to support LodgeNet, whose unsecured creditors will be repaid in full, while DirecTV (DTV) will extend its partnership with the company. 1 Comment [Tech, Consumer]
- Thursday, December 27, 2012, 3:42 PM DirecTV (DTV +0.5%) says it plans to increase prices of its programming packages by an average of 4.5% starting Feb. 7, due to ~8% higher programming costs it expects to pay to owners of television channels next year. DTV claims its annual price increases, on average, are below those of cable competitors. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, December 21, 2012, 10:43 AM DirecTV (DTV -1.5%) launches a streaming service which allows customers to watch Starz or Encore on Internet-connected devices. It's a nice move for Starz as it looks to pick up the slack from its break with Netflix. 1 Comment [Consumer]

Wednesday, December 19, 2012, 10:12 AM
DirecTV (DTV) says it added more than 30 networks to its DirecTV Everywhere platform including shows from Comedy Central, A&E, and Nickoldeon, although content from Disney's well-known stable of networks didn't make the list. The development is intriguing in light of Disney's (DIS +0.1%) big content deal with Netflix which is set to launch in 2016 for theatrical releases.
Comment! [Consumer] - Wednesday, December 12, 2012, 4:07 PM Dish Network (DISH) officially wins approval with U.S. regulators to offer a smartphone service. A battle over the limited power of the planned network due to interference concerns is only a minor consideration to Guggenheim Securities' Paul Gallant as he calls the decision a "transformative outcome" for the company. A curiosity to watch will be the reaction of DirecTV (DTV) to its rival's entry into the wireless business. Did the price of a DISH-DTV merger just go up? Comment! [Consumer, Tech]
- Monday, December 10, 2012, 2:50 PM DirecTV (DTV -1.1%) plans to charge new customers in the L.A. $3 more per month for access to all four of the regional sports networks it offers. The bigger issue: The move is another warning shot in what looks to be a protracted war between cable and media companies over how sports coverage and fees will be sliced up with more regional sports networks popping up. With live coverage of major sporting events on the Internet still largely a non-factor, there should be enough carriage fees and advertising revenue to keep both sides plush. Sports coverage players: ESPN (DIS), NBC Sports (CMCSA), Madison Square Garden (MSG), Fox Sports (NWS), CBS Sports (CBS), Yes Network. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Thursday, November 15, 2012, 10:14 AM Another investment firm jumps in to say a DirecTV (DTV +2.4%) merger with Dish Network (DISH +2.9%) looks increasingly likely as Bernstein Research takes the plunge. While a marriage of the satellite players was previously viewed as a regulatory no-go, the current competitive landscape makes the issue less relevant. If a deal is struck, synergies come into play as contract negotiations with large media companies become a little bit easier to manage. Comment! [Consumer]
- Wednesday, November 14, 2012, 8:16 PM Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway discloses several changes to its portfolio, including a stake in Deere & Co. (DE) and selling off 5.3M shares of CVS Caremark (CVS). Firm also added to its existing investments in: Wells Fargo (WFC), Bank of New York Mellon Corp. (BK), General Motors (GM), DirecTV (DTV), DaVita (DVA), National Oilwell Varco (NOV) and Viacom (VIAB). It reduced stakes in: Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), Kraft Foods (KRFT), Lee Enterprises (LEE), Procter & Gamble (PG) and US Bancorp (USB). (13-F) 3 Comments [Financials]
- Wednesday, November 14, 2012, 10:44 AM Jefferies raises its price target to $35 on Dish Network (DISH -1.1%) with consolidation talk picking up in the sector. Though a Dish-DirecTV (DTV +1.1%) marriage is the merger most often discussed, analysts note almost any combination of TV/Satellite/Telecomm players is still on the table. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, November 9, 2012, 12:18 PM The rise of AT&T and Verizon in the TV/Internet market at the expense of DirecTV (DTV -0.2%) and Dish Network (DISH +0.8%) increases the odds the two satellite players merge. Not only does a DISH-DTV deal appear more likely to clear regulatory hurdles now, by the numbers it makes more sense than ever. Another point to consider, Dish Network CEO Charlie Ergen wasn't exactly shy about the topic on his company's earnings call. 3 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, November 7, 2012, 6:53 PM Cord-cutting isn't doing tremendous damage to the pay-TV industry, but it is leading penetration rates to fall a bit. U.S. pay-TV providers collectively shed 127K subs in Q3, per Bernstein's data, as a net loss of 499K cable subs offset a net gain of 372K telco/satellite subs. But that figure is below Q2's 410K decline, and still leaves the industry with a small net increase over the last 4 quarters. (Nielsen) Comment! [Tech, Consumer]
- Wednesday, November 7, 2012, 6:53 AM DirecTV (DTV) CEO Mike White reveals in an earnings conference call (transcript) the company continues to seriously evaluate a purchase of Vivendi's GVT. The exec notes the decision to pull the trigger on the deal will come down to how confident the company is sizable synergies could be created. Comment! [Consumer]
- Tuesday, November 6, 2012, 12:40 PM Dish Network (DISH +2.4%) CEO Charlie Ergen says on the firm's earnings conference call his company will probably size up a merger with DirecTV (DTV -1.4%), although he's quick to note no discussions have taken place yet. Shares of both companies haven't reacted a great deal to the news, although trading volume is high. (Q3 earnings: DTV, DISH) Comment! [Consumer]
- Tuesday, November 6, 2012, 8:30 AM More on DirecTV's (DTV) Q3: Growth in Latin America paced revenue gains. The company improved its margins during the quarter as subscriber acquistion costs and general expenses trended lower. Net subscriber growth of 67K, down from last year's mark due to a higher churn rate. DTV -1.1% premarket. (PR) Comment! [Consumer, Earnings]
