Re: John Malone/Liberty/VM General News Thread
What will be interesting is how they advertise the speeds once uptake increases. Only around half of the UK population lives within range of a cabinet that could serve just under 160Mbps potentially so advertising may reflect this in a big way. What is advertised as "average 300Mbps" may well end up around 120-150Mps in 6 months.

A couple of titbits of news about John Malone:
Malone will retire from the board of Lionsgate in the Autumn. He will retain his share in Lionsgate. https://www.bloombergquint.com/onweb...ons-gate-board Malone increases his shareholding of Discovery last month, a few hours before the AT&T/Time Warner merger was cleared: https://www.barrons.com/articles/dis...ock-1529494200 With all the media mergers and those to come, I say join the dots on this... |
Re: John Malone/Liberty/VM General News Thread
One last titbit of news I've picked up on, regards one of Murdoch's companies called Endemol Shine. This is the Anglo/Dutch "indy" responsible for stuff such as Big Brother, Masterchef, Merlin and Peaky Blinders.
With Disney now likely to win the battle for Fox, Disney is not interested in Shine, especially as Fox only own 50% of it. The other half is owned by a venture capital fund, thus Fox is selling it. Malone is interested in buying Shine according to various sources including Hollywood Reporter. Remember that Malone already owns the UK's largest other "indy" All3media. By owning Shine too, Malone would control a vast range of British tv. He still has that 10% of ITV and now owns the Irish version of ITV too. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/ne...rdroom-1127466 |

Re: John Malone/Liberty/VM General News Thread
Malone retires from the Charter Board, just days after he retires from the Lionsgate Board.
It maybe his advancing years and he simply wants to slow down now, but this could be a "signal" that the long expected (at least by me) consolidation of his various assets, maybe about to happen. https://advanced-television.com/2018...ctor-emeritus/ |
Re: John Malone/Liberty/VM General News Thread
Does anyone know the actual percentage of Discovery that Malone now owns, after increasing his shareholding at the end of 2017 and last month?
