- Friday, December 28, 2012, 11:56 AM News Corp (NWSA -0.2%) acquires SportsTime Ohio, a regional sports network based in Cleveland. Terms of the deal have not been disclosed, but the price tag is estimated to be about $230M. The deal is part of an effort by the company to ramp up efforts to control the rights to key sports teams in response to Time Warner Cable's $3B deal in 2011 to carry the Los Angeles Lakers basketball games on its SportsNet Channel. Comment! [Consumer, M&A]
- Friday, December 21, 2012, 9:20 AM Hulu asks its media giant parents (CMCSA, NWS, DIS) for a little helping hand in order to fund program purchases and overseas expansion, according to sources. The $200M request could finally settle the matter of which direction the TV venture takes, particularly if an ad-supported model backed by Disney or a subscription service favored by News Corp. will rule the day. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, December 21, 2012, 7:32 AM News Corp. (NWS) files an initial form with the SEC in connection with its plan to separate into two unique companies. According to the filing, the new News Corp. will compromise a wide mix of media, information, book publishing, and sports programming services. Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, December 17, 2012, 1:48 PM Hulu (DIS, CMCSA, NWS) CEO Jason Kilar reveals in a blog post that the company will end the year with close to 3M paid subscribers. As for sales, the web video service firm earn close to $695M in 2012, up 65% from last year's mark. Kilar was surprisingly quite in this year's State of the Union post after making bigger pronouncement on the future of TV in years past. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, December 14, 2012, 7:20 AM Liberty Media (LMCA) starts the process of shopping premium channel Starz to media companies, according to the New York Post. Potential buyers: Time Warner (TWX), CBS (CBS), News Corp. (NWS), Viacom (VIA). Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, December 13, 2012, 6:31 AM Amazon (AMZN) has chalked up another victory in the global book wars after the EU accepted an offer from Apple (AAPL) and four publishers to ease price-cutting restrictions in exchange for ending an antitrust investigation. The publishers include CBS's (CBS) Simon & Schuster and News Corp. (NWS) unit HarperCollins. Interestingly, Apple didn't accept a similar deal in the U.S. and is going to trial. 4 Comments [Tech, Consumer]
- Wednesday, December 12, 2012, 3:25 PM 20th Century Fox (NWS -0.1%) sees Life of Pi run up smashing totals at the box office in China after the movie was a critical success in the U.S. - but only put up modest sales numbers. The bigger issue: Movie studios increasingly factor in the response in China to their development decisions with Chinese audiences eager to pay the premium prices for the IMAX or 3D formats. On that note, the antagonist army in Red Dawn was changed to North Korean from Chinese late in production, with hardly a thought to the plot. Comment! [Consumer]
- Tuesday, December 11, 2012, 1:06 PM Tribune Company looks for a banker to help it find a buyer for some of its newspaper properties, including Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times, after the company emerges from bankruptcy in a few weeks. Sources indicate News Corp (NWS, NWSA) has already expressed an interest. Another interesting Tribune asset to watch will be CareerBuilder.com, a website which still ranks in the top 150 in the U.S. by traffic (Quantcast chart). 1 Comment [Consumer]
- 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]
- Tuesday, December 4, 2012, 5:02 AM Having last month agreed to acquire a 49% stake in YES, the NY Yankees' home TV network, News Corp (NWS) is now reportedly attempting to buy the Cleveland Indians' SportsTime Ohio TV channel for around $230M. The deal would give News Corp's Fox Sports the rights to show the baseball team's games. Time Warner (TWX) has also bid for SportsTime Ohio. Comment! [M&A, Consumer]
- Monday, December 3, 2012, 9:21 AM News Corp. (NWS) plans to shut down its iPad newspaper on December 15. The company concedes the digital newspaper business model wasn't sustainable in the long term. Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, December 3, 2012, 9:08 AM News Corp. (NWS) confirms the appointment of WSJ Editor-in-Chief Robert Thomson as the CEO of its publishing operations. Thomson will start the job on Jan. 1. The publishing company will retain the News Corp. name, while the media & entertainment business will be called Fox Group. News Corp. indicates that its breakup will still occur in June next year. That appears to be contrary to a report that the split will be concluded at the end of this month. (PR) Comment! [Consumer, Breaking News, Top Stories]
- Monday, December 3, 2012, 2:42 AM News Corp. (NWS) has reportedly advanced its break-up into two companies to the end of this month in order to limit the damage from the U.K. phone-hacking scandal to the publishing arm of the firm. In June, Rupert Murdoch said the unit's split from the film and TV business would take 12 months. The speculation comes along with reports that WSJ managing editor Robert Thomson will become CEO of the publishing ops, while News International CEO Tom Mockridge is leaving. Comment! [Consumer]
- Sunday, December 2, 2012, 8:24 PM Rupert Murdoch loses another top executive as Tom Mockridge resigns as CEO of News Corp's (NWS) U.K. newspaper arm. A 22-year veteran of the company, Mockridge was brought on as chief of News International in July 2011. "His decision to step down is absolutely and entirely his own," says Murdoch. (PR) Comment!
- Saturday, December 1, 2012, 3:34 PM News Corp. (NWS) will tap Robert Thomson - now editor in chief of Dow Jones, and managing editor of The Wall Street Journal - as the CEO of its new publishing company, Reuters reports.

- Monday, November 26, 2012, 5:24 AM Sales of cinema tickets over the five-day Thanksgiving period starting on Wednesday hit a record $290M. Lions Gate's (LGF) "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2" led the way with $64M, bringing the film's total domestic revenue to $227M, while Sony's (SNE) "Skyfall," generated $51M, and Fox's (NWS) "Life of Pie" $30.2M. 1 Comment [Consumer]
