Wednesday, January 7, 2009, 9:47 AM Warner Bros.'s (TWX) Watchmen, the film already being heralded as "the Citizen Kane of comic book adaptations," may never be watched if 20th Century Fox (NWS) has its way. Fox wants Watchmen's March release blocked after a judge ruled it, and not TWX, owns distribution rights. Comment!
Monday, January 5, 2009, 3:07 PM ComScore's online video rankings for November: Google (GOOG) cleaned up, with 40.3% of market share (Fox (NWS) was next with 3.5%). Overall videos viewed by U.S. surfers: 12.7B, up 34% vs. last year (that's 41.5 videos for every man, woman and child in the U.S.). Comment!
Wednesday, December 31, 2008, 3:23 AM Dell (DELL) reached its target of carbon neutrality, but that may mean less than many green investors hoped. Among other firms lining up behind the ideal (but perhaps not the reality): Google (GOOG), Yahoo (YHOO) and News Corp. (NWS). Comment!

Tuesday, December 23, 2008, 8:47 AM News Corp.'s (NWS) stake in German TV station Premiere could 'theoretically' exceed 50%, says Premiere CEO Mark Williams. News Corp., with a 25.01% stake, plans to backstop a new rights issue aimed at raising €450M for the German firm. Comment!
Wednesday, December 17, 2008, 8:36 AM News Corp. (NWS) will switch to Nasdaq from NYSE. "Nasdaq made News Corp. an offer it couldn't refuse: quite a lot of money to switch its listing..." said a NYSE spokesman. Nasdaq and NWS said they don't discuss their business arrangements. Comment!
Tuesday, December 16, 2008, 10:00 AM The grumpiest of the Bancrofts are smiling, Breakingviews says, while News Corp. (NWS) shareholders grimace at the $5B boss Murdoch shelled out to acquire Dow Jones one year ago. The deal saddled NWS with even more exposure to newspapers and financials, just as both entered their darkest hours. Comment!
Thursday, December 11, 2008, 4:41 PM Network TV (CBS, DIS, NWS, TWX, VIA) is dying a slow death, Pali Research says, citing improving cable programming, DVR penetration and rising costs. An impending SAG strike, which it believes will be authorized, will just increase the pain, particularly for CBS. Comment!

Tuesday, December 9, 2008, 3:17 PM Judith Regan settled her wrongful dismissal case with HarperCollins (NWS) for $10.75M, a court filing reveals. Her law firm? Dreier LLP. Ring a bell? Comment!
Thursday, December 4, 2008, 9:47 AM A watershed day for the Big Two newspapers: NY Times (NYT) online activates TimesExtra, an alternate home page that (gasp) links out to other sources (PR). And Wall Street Journal's (NWS) print edition, for the first time ever, runs a front-page ad wrap (?) (a-la NY Post) from Dell (DELL). Comment!
Tuesday, December 2, 2008, 3:38 PM Rupert Murdoch biographer Michael Wolff on MySpace (NWS): "That’s gonna go down. What they are looking at is the distinct possibility that it can go down to nothing." Comment!
