- Monday, April 1, 9:45 AM News Corp. (NWS, NWSA) lands an upgrade to Outperform from Credit Suisse after being slotted at Neutral. The investment firm thinks the media giant will see higher cable growth and margin expansion. Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, March 28, 10:50 AM News Corp.-owned (NWS, NWSA) plans to launch a sister channel for FX this fall and move several channels to the new FXX network. FX President John Landgraf says an "incredibly ambitious ramp-up" of program development and production is underway with both networks targeted to be in 70M homes. Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, March 25, 4:37 PM Hulu (DIS, CMCSA, NWS) has contacted potential buyers to gauge their interest, Reuters reports. Hulu's media industry owners put the video site up for sale in 2011, but decided to hold on after failing to receive an adequate bid. The bids received in a fresh sale attempt will depend a lot on the content licensing terms the owners are willing to offer. Questions surrounding Hulu's CEO transition could also come into play. Comment! [Tech, Consumer]
- Monday, March 25, 10:47 AM News Corp.'s (NWS -0.3%) 20th Century Fox scores a number one box office hit with The Croods which pulled in $44.7M in ticket sales in North America over the weekend. The animated film made another $63.3M internationally. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, March 22, 9:38 AM News Corp. (NWS, NWSA) announces it will sell a 5.28% stake in Phoenix Television Holdings through a subsidiary for $92M.

- Wednesday, March 20, 8:59 AM Fox Sports (NWS, NWSA) is expected to announce later today that it landed the rights to the new Big East basketball conference. The deal provides a nice programming boost for the new Fox Sports 1 channel and gives ESPN something to think about. It's anticipated Madison Square Garden (MSG) will pick up some regional coverage of the new Catholic-heavy conference. Comment! [Consumer]
- Saturday, March 16, 11:45 AM The increased focus of media companies to license film and television content to sites such as Amazon and Netflix is irresistible due to the lush margins for streaming video on demand, but the trend also poses a long-term threat to the traditional TV advertising model as new generations of audiences become accustomed to SVOD viewing habits. What to watch: Content companies need to maximize profits without cannibalizing TV ratings for hit shows. Look for more quick SVOD profit hits from CBS (CBS), Discovery Communications (DISCA), Time Warner (TWX), and Viacom (VIA, VIAB) while News Corp. (NWS, NWSA) and Disney (DIS) may have broader streaming plans in mind. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Thursday, March 14, 6:58 PM Outgoing Hulu (DIS, NWS, CMCSA) CEO Jason Kilar says content chief Andy Forssell will be the streaming service's acting CEO following his departure. Kilar also confirms Disney and News Corp. are "currently finalizing their forward-looking plans with Hulu" (previous) - a "permanent decision" about Hulu's CEO will be made after said finalization. Forssell will take over a company whose 2012 sales were less than 1/5 of Netflix's, and whose paid subscriber base is less than 1/9 as large. Comment! [Consumer, Tech]
- Friday, March 8, 10:55 AM News Corp (NWS, NWSA) discloses in a SEC filing that it will provide $2.6B in cash for its new publishing company as it spins off this summer. The new entity will also start off with no debt. (14A) Comment! [Consumer]
- Wednesday, March 6, 7:31 AM News Corp. (NWS) says its education unit will launch a $299 Android-based tablet designed for students. The tablet will hit the market in time for the 2013-2014 school year in the U.S. Comment! [Consumer, Tech]
- Wednesday, March 6, 5:16 AM News Corp.'s (NWS) education unit Amplify is today set to showcase the first tablet computer designed specifically for schools. Amplify reckons education boards will spend hundreds of dollars per pupil on such devices despite steep budget cuts. The company is also entering a crowded market that includes the iPad and Pearson. Comment! [Consumer, Tech]
- Tuesday, March 5, 3:20 PM More on Fox Sports 1 network (previous): A launch date for the new all-sports network is strategically set for August 17. News Corp. (NWS, NWSA) anticipates taking losses as it builds up enough clout and subscribers to charge a higher carriage fee. Initially, the sports venture will earn about $1 per pay-TV subscriber, almost triple what the network its replacing - Speed -earns but falling well-short of the impressive $5.13 per subscriber ESPN lands. Comment! [Consumer]
- Tuesday, March 5, 11:15 AM Disney (DIS +1.3%) works out a deal with Nielsen to adapt some of the ratings firm's online measures for advertisers looking to market across different mediums. The bigger issue: With the network industry getting set to pitch shows for advertisers and set upfront fees - look for more deals as CBS (CBS), NBC (CMCSA), A&E (AMCX), Fox (NWS) and TBS (TWX) scrap to have every eyeball counted while big spenders like Anheuser-Busch Inbev, Procter & Gamble, and Coca-Cola argue against it by contending the two mediums don't translate. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Tuesday, March 5, 6:40 AM News Corp. (NWS) will launch a new cable sports network in August just in front of the college football season, according to sources. Initially, the network will feature Nascar auto racing, Major League Baseball games, soccer, as well as college football and basketball. Things will get interesting when Fox Sports 1 - along with new sports networks from NBC and CBS - tries to wrestle key contracts away from ESPN. Comment! [Consumer]
- Saturday, March 2, 8:28 AM News Corp (NWS, NWSA) and Disney (DIS) are reportedly in talks which may end with one buying the other's stake in Hulu. The discussions stem from Disney's preference for an advertising-focused business model vs. News Corp.'s desire to rely on subscriptions. Comcast (CMCSA) also owns about one-third of Hulu, but is barred from an operational role or voting its stake. Comment! [Consumer]

The New York Times (NYT) reportedly received a bid last month of over $100M for the Boston Globe from Rick Daniels, a former president at the newspaper, and P-E firm Boston Post Partners. The sides have been in talks for a year, but the NYT has opened up the process in order to avoid investor lawsuits. The hope is to attract a bid from News Corp (NWS).
