		<description><![CDATA[Recently, Bloomberg reported that News Corp. (NWSA) seeks to reach a strategic decision with Specific Media regarding the sale of MySpace, its social networking site, for about $35 million in cash and stock. News Corp. had acquired the Beverly Hills, California-based MySpace in 2005 for a price of $580.0 million. The selling process was triggered way back after the site tumbled miserably despite its early success, and constantly lagged behind its competitor Facebook Inc. with respect to its clients. Earlier, the company employed Allen &#38; Co., a New York-based investment bank, to advice about the strategic alternatives for its social-networking website. However, it is not certain whether a consensus will be reached with the California based Specific Media. Hence, News Corp. is also in discussion with Golden Gate Capital, a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Time Warner Inc. (TWX), the diversified media conglomerate, recently posted first-quarter 2011 results. The quarterly earnings of 58 cents a share came a penny ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate but dropped 4.9% from 61 cents earned in the prior-year quarter sending the shares down by 2.7% to $36.73 in pre-market trading. On a reported basis, including one-time items, earnings came in at 59 cents a share, down 4.8% from 62 cents delivered in the year-ago quarter. However, Time Warner reaffirmed its fiscal 2011 earnings growth in the low teens. Time Warner’s total revenue in the quarter grew 6% to $6,683 million from the prior year-quarter on the heels of higher advertising revenue at its cable TV networks, and handily beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $6,451 million.

		<description><![CDATA[According to Bloomberg, News Corp. (NWSA), a diversified global media company, advanced to Vevo.com, the online music website, for exploring the future prospects of MySpace, its social networking site. The buzz is that News Corp. might swap MySpace for a stake in a new venture of Vevo.com. However, no consensus has been reached on the deal, as Vevo.com is one of the numerous possible buyers of MySpace. News Corp. has acquired the Beverly Hills, California-based MySpace in 2005 for a price of $580.0 million.

Management hinted that for second-quarter 2011, advertising revenues at both ESPN and TV stations are trending up in the double-digits compared with the year-ago quarter, and added that the company is witnessing a rise in domestic hotel reservations by about 3%. Disney is also concentrating on the development of motion pictures under its brands Disney, Pixar and Marvel. The company has also been actively managing its cash flows returning much of its free cash to shareholders.

		<description><![CDATA[Viacom Inc. (VIA.B) reported mixed financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2011. While earnings per share (EPS) beat the Zacks Consensus Estimates, revenues fell well short of it. This was primarily due to extremely weak sales of DVD and lack of successful movie releases at the Hollywood box office. Meanwhile, strong viewership ratings for Viacom’s cable channels resulted in higher advertising revenue. First Quarter Highlights Net income from continuing operation was $620 million or $1.02 per share compared with a net income of $693 million or $1.14 per share in the prior-year quarter. However, EPS of $1.02 surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 99 cents. Total revenue was $3,828 million, down 5% year over year. This was well below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4,139 million.

(LGF) to salvage the debt-ridden Hollywood studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (“MGM”) is an Indian conglomerate. Sahara India Pariwar has put forward a bid to buy the debt of MGM for around $2 billion. This attempt would help bring Hollywood and Bollywood together. If the deal comes through, the co-owners and producer of James Bond movie series, the Broccoli family, would get an unrevealed equity stake in the new company. The bid for the studio is not the maiden attempt by an Indian company, as Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group’s Reliance Entertainment was also in talks to buy the studio, though the transaction did not ultimately materialize.

		<description><![CDATA[News Corp. (NWSA) on Tuesday declared its intention to acquire a 61% stake in British Sky Broadcasting Group Plc. (BSkyB) for £7.8 billion (US$11.5 billion) or 700 pence per share. The Rupert Murdoch-led News Corp. already owns a 39% stake in BSkyB. However, BSkyB’s management has rejected the offer as too low and stated that they may support an offer of more than 800 pence per share. Nevertheless, BSkyB has entered into an agreement with News Corp. to work together to obtain the required approvals from regulatory authorities in the event of a merger. Moreover, both companies have decided to discuss on a valuation, which benefits all shareholders. News Corp.’s offer of 700 pence per share represents a premium of 16.7% over BSkyB’s closing price of 600 pence on Monday. ]]></description>

The company is a global leader in media and entertainment with cable systems, television networks, filmed entertainment and publishing businesses. With the spin-off of AOL, Inc.

(AOL), its web media unit, which took place in 2000, ended on Dec 9, 2009, when the former announced the completion of the spin-off of AOL. Time Warner investors will receive one AOL share for 11 Time Warner shares they own, and any fractional AOL shares will be compensated by a cash payment.

		<description><![CDATA[Walt Disney Company (DIS) has recently won a copyright infringement case running since 1991, relating to the famous animated character ‘Winnie the Pooh.’ In 1930, Stephen Slesinger, a New York television and film producer, acquired the merchandising rights to the Pooh works from author A.A. Milne. Later in 1961, Slesinger transferred the rights to Disney in exchange for a regular royalty. However, the heirs of Slesinger filed a case against Disney, alleging its failure to pay billions in royalties. The case has been dismissed by the court on the grounds that Stephen Slesinger Inc. had transferred all of its rights to Disney, and had no legal rights to claim any compensation for any infringement. In a separate story, Walt Disney could face a copyright battle for Marvel characters, having recently ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Louise Harris, Investment U Research Team The entertainment world is changing, and companies in the business know that all too well… hence the reason why The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) just announced its acquisition of Marvel Entertainment Inc. (NYSE: MVL) Comic book fans might hate the move, but in order to survive in today’s climate, Disney has to look outside the box office to the whole entertainment package. Gone are the days when movies made all their money at the box office. And with DVD sales shrinking, Hollywood has no choice but to bring in more revenue by delving into toys, videogames, clothing, rides, digital copies of movies and Internet streaming. Naturally, Disney hopes to milk the merger for all its worth, exploiting Marvel’s 5,000 characters across the ]]></description>

Amid a buzz of publicity, yesterday was the day that many Beatles fans had eagerly waited for, with the release of a new video game in the band’s name – “The Beatles: Rock Band.” If you’re not familiar with the “Rock Band” concept, it’s a bit like karaoke, except you play music in addition to singing. Gamers follow along with their favorite musicians/songs, using an electronic drum kit and guitar, and sing the songs, too. The game is enormously popular, having generated over $1 billion in revenue. And gamers can download individual songs, albums, or catalogs of groups like AC/DC, The Who and The Grateful Dead. So far, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday The Walt Disney Co (NYSE: DIS) took a nosedive of almost 3% on the news that they were going to purchase Marvel for $4 billion. Analysts believed that Disney had overpaid for the company – one just downgraded by JPM. After all, when they picked up Pixar they paid only a 4% premium, while for Marvel they ponied up a 29% premium. Did Disney overpay for Marvel? Absolutely not. As Disney opened slightly positive this morning, the street may be coming to their senses. Rest assured, in a short period of time it will become apparent that Disney made another masterful move of picking up this classic character franchise. While new character creations hit the markets and TV screens every year, some are timeless and iconic – Marvel has ]]></description>
