- Friday, May 24, 6:25 PM News Corp. (NWS, NWSA) expects to write down the value of its soon-to-be-independent publishing business by $1.2B-$1.4B this quarter, according to an SEC filing. The media company says "certain of its goodwill and intangible assets were potentially impaired” at the publishing business, which includes newspapers such as the NY Post and WSJ. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Friday, May 24, 3:12 PM Yahoo (YHOO +1.7%) throws its name into the Hulu hat to join a number of P-E firms as well as DirecTV and Time Warner Cable in the hunt. Owners Disney (DIS +0.1%), Comcast (CMCSA +0.2%), and News Corp (NWS, NWSA) will weigh the best offer, but will also want to position themselves on the content side to be protected. (Previous on Hulu-mania) 7 Comments [Tech, Consumer]
- Friday, May 24, 8:58 AM News Corp. (NWS, NWSA) says its board of directors formally approved the split of the company into two entities to be called 21st Century Fox and the new News Corporation. After the separation, the new News Corp. will be have an authorization to buy back $500M in stock in its back pocket. A rights agreement was also adopted to protect shareholder interests. NWS +0.6% premarket. (PR) Comment! [Consumer]
- Wednesday, May 22, 11:07 AM AIG remains at the top Goldman's list of hedge fund hotels (the 50 stocks appearing most frequently among hedge fund top 10 holdings). Google (GOOG) retains its #2 position. Apple (APPL) - in the top spot for 3 years until February - remains at #3. Goldman notes the basket has outperformed the S&P a bit this year and the top 20 has done better by more than 1000 basis points. We smell an ETF offering. The rest of the top 20: C, GM, PCLN, VMED, NWSA, MSFT, HTZ, JPM, APC, PFE, QCOM, CHTR, HES, CBS, EBAY, DAL, EQIX. 4 Comments
- Tuesday, May 21, 12:31 PM News Corp (NWS, NWSA) continues to be one of the most popular consumer service stock picks of hedge funds, according to Insider Monkey. The inside take is that despite a decent YTD 26% runup in share price, valuation is still reasonable with a pending split of the company looking promising. The latest hedgie to take a bite is Lone Pine Capital with an increased in its position to 22M shares. (13F) Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, May 17, 4:11 PM DirecTV (DTV) has joined the ranks of companies weighing a bid for Hulu (DIS, NWS, CMCSA), with an eye towards expanding its arsenal of TV Everywhere content, the WSJ reports. The scoop shortly follows a report Time Warner Cable and other MSOs are talking about a possible bid. Comment! [Tech, Consumer, M&A]
- Wednesday, May 15, 11:41 AM Senator Mark Warner calls the bluff of broadcasters (CMCSA, CBS, DIS, NWS, NWSA) threatening they will pull their major networks off the air to cable if Aereo isn't stopped in courtroom battles by noting FCC broadcast licenses could be pulled in that scenario. With Aereo growing around like the country like a weed, and the proposed Television Consumer Freedom Act including a ban on networks converting to cable, the headaches of the industry have become a little more pronounced. Don't expect CBS head honcho Les Moonves to stay quiet on the latest development. 4 Comments [Consumer]
- Tuesday, May 14, 7:52 AM News Corp. (NWS, NWSA) enters a partnership with Twitter that will see the Fox channel use the social network to advertise shows and distribute exclusive clips. The big picture: Gone are the days when media companies threw speculative dollars into Twitter just to see what would happen as the monetization of conversations on TV shows becomes more refined. ESPN, CBS, and NBC all plan to sell ads within Twitter-embedded videos - instead of just using Twitter as a linking source. Comment! [Consumer, Tech]
- Monday, May 13, 7:30 AM Broadcasters ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC will settle for the lowest round of average rate hikes in three years during the "upfront" selling season, according to industry watchers. Though the expected increase in ad rates of 6% sounds fairly lush, annual rate increases were in the double digits only two years ago before the impact of streaming alternatives and a step up in cable programming was fully felt. Upfront ad rate forecast: CBS +6.5%, ABC (DIS) +6%, Fox (NWS, NWSA) + 5.5%, NBC (CMCSA) +5%. Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, May 9, 9:03 AM Shares of News Corp. (NWS, NWSA) move up 3.6% premarket after the company sees strong revenue gains from television affiliates and cable channels lift its bottom line for FQ3. The broad organic growth from the media giant caught most analysts by surprise. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Wednesday, May 8, 4:17 PM News Corp (NWSA): Q1 EPS of $0.36 beats by $0.01. Revenue of $9.54B. Shares +2.2% AH. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News, On the Move]
- Wednesday, May 8, 12:10 AM Notable earnings after Wednesday’s close: AHT, ALJ, ATLS, ATVI, AVNR, CF, CLNE, CLR, CTL, CTRP, CUZ, CXW, DEPO, DK, ERII, ETE, ETP, GMCR, GRPN, GSS, HALO, HEK, HNSN, JOE, LPSN, MBLX, MDR, MED, MIDD, MM, MNST, MNTX, MWE, NWSA, OSUR, PPO, PVA, QTM, RAX, RGP, RIG, RST, SGMO, SPRD, SSRI, STEC, SXL, SZYM, TCAP, TSLA, WR, XTEX Comment!

- Tuesday, May 7, 9:19 PM Marissa Mayer (YHOO) held a preliminary talk with Hulu (DIS, CMCSA, NWS) execs about a bid for the video site, "numerous sources" tell Kara Swisher. Amazon (AMZN), Guggenheim Partners, and ex-News Corp. COO Peter Chermin (previous) are also said to be weighing bids. Yahoo was one of the companies offering to buy Hulu back in 2011, and with the French government having thwarted its Dailymotion bid, Hulu and its 4M+ premium subs might not be a bad backup plan. But much likely depends on the content rights Hulu's risk-averse old media owners are willing to give. 1 Comment [Tech, M&A, Consumer]
- Tuesday, May 7, 5:35 PM Notable earnings after Wednesday’s close: AHT, ALJ, ATLS, ATVI, AVNR, CF, CLNE, CLR, CTL, CTRP, CUZ, CXW, DEPO, DK, ERII, ETE, ETP, GMCR, GRPN, GSS, HALO, HEK, HNSN, JOE, LPSN, MBLX, MDR, MED, MIDD, MM, MNST, MNTX, MWE, NWSA, OSUR, PPO, PVA, QTM, RAX, RGP, RIG, RST, SGMO, SPRD, SSRI, STEC, SXL, SZYM, TCAP, TSLA, WR, XTEX Comment! [Earnings]
- Friday, May 3, 10:49 AM The major broadcast networks aren't giving up the summer months to cable rivals (and Netflix?) this year and plan to keep a fresh slate of programming in front of viewers. Leading the charge is CBS (CBS +0.8%) with the Stephen King-inspired Under the Dome scheduled to debut in June. What to watch: With new programs come higher development and marketing costs. How much will Comcast (CMCSA +1.3%), News Corp (NWSA +1.3%), and Disney (DIS +0.7%) invest in the summer ventures of their broadcast TV properties and will it be enough? 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Tuesday, April 30, 9:31 AM News Corp. (NWS, NWSA) shareholders will vote on June 11 on whether or not to approve a plan to split the existing conglomerate into a publishing and entertainment company. Though he is an U.S. citizen, Rupert Murdoch has agreed not to vote on the proposal with his 39.4% stake in the company sitting in his back pocket. (SEC 14A). Comment! [Consumer]
