News Corp puts Foxtel up for sale after asset review

By Sam Buckingham-Jones

August 9, 2024

News Corp, the publishing and broadcast giant controlled by the Murdoch family, has put its majority-owned Australian pay television platform Foxtel up for sale after a nine-month strategic review of its assets.

Outlining its financial results on Friday, News Corp said there was “third-party interest” in Foxtel, which owns a pay TV business, streaming services Binge and Kayo Sports, and aggregation platform Hubbl.

“We are confident in the company’s long-term prospects and are continuing to review our portfolio with a focus on maximising returns for shareholders,” News Corp chief executive Robert Thomson said.

“That review has coincided recently with third-party interest in a potential transaction involving the Foxtel ... We are evaluating options for the business with our advisors in light of that external interest.”

News Corp owns 65 per cent of Foxtel, and Telstra owns the rest.

Foxtel has spent the past decade pivoting to the streaming era, building Kayo and Binge – which have much leaner profit margins – while preserving its legacy base of around 1 million subscribers who pay, on average, $90 a month. It has grown its total paying subscription base to 4.7 million people.

Any sale of Foxtel would have a flow-on effect on long-term content deals, multi-billion dollar sports rights packages, and more.

Mr Thomson told analysts that News Corp had a “significant overture that we are naturally assessing”, but declined to provide further details.

“We have full faith in the potential of Foxtel and the talented team at Foxtel,” he said. “On behalf of shareholders, we have to evaluate any interest … You’ll have to stay tuned. Not indefinitely, not perpetually, not ad infinitum.” (Credit: The Australian Financial Review) @FinancialReview

Bitcoin drops 10pc as rout deepens

August 5, 2024

 

Bitcoin is under pressure from a bout of risk aversion in global markets that saddled the largest digital asset with its heftiest weekly loss since the collapse of the FTX exchange in 2022.

The original cryptocurrency sank more than 10 per cent at one point before paring some of the decline to trade at $US54,333 ($83,590). The token lost 13.1 per cent in the seven days through Sunday, the most since the FTX bankruptcy period. Smaller tokens such as ether and meme-crowd favourite dogecoin also nursed heavy losses.

The declines come as a global stock sell-off intensifies, reflecting concerns about the economic outlook and questions over whether heavy investment into artificial intelligence will live up to the hype surrounding the technology. Geopolitical tension is rising in the Middle East, adding to investor skittishness.

Bitcoin exchange traded funds in the US suffered their largest outflows in about three months on August 2. The digital asset has also tumbled through its 200-day moving average price.

The latter technical chart pattern “opens the way for a deeper pullback” towards $54,000, Tony Sycamore, market analyst at IG Australia, wrote in a note.

Bitcoin has been buffeted by a range of factors since hitting a record of $US73,798 in March, including shifting political fortunes in the US as pro-crypto Republican Donald Trump and his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris – who has yet to detail a digital-asset policy stance – lock horns in the presidential race.

Donald Trump to Headline Bitcoin 2024 Conference in Nashville

July 11, 2024

Former President Donald Trump has been confirmed as a keynote speaker at the upcoming Bitcoin 2024 conference set to take place in Nashville, Tennessee.

This news comes as a significant development for the event, known for its major industry announcements and influential speakers. The conference, which has previously been hosted in Miami, has established itself as a platform for groundbreaking news within the cryptocurrency space.

Bitcoin 2021, the inaugural conference, made headlines when El Salvador officially declared Bitcoin as legal tender. The subsequent Bitcoin 2022 and Bitcoin 2023 conferences continued the trend of notable moments, including a powerful speech by U.S. Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in support of the Bitcoin industry.

This year, the shift of the conference location from Miami to Nashville signifies its increasing prominence on the global stage. With two former U.S. Presidential candidates, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Donald Trump, slated to speak, Bitcoin 2024 is anticipated to be a pivotal event that could potentially impact the future trajectory of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency policies in the United States.

Donald Trump’s participation in the conference is especially noteworthy considering his recent engagements with the Bitcoin community. Earlier this year, Trump met with prominent U.S. Bitcoin miners, including representatives from CleanSpark, where he reiterated his support for Bitcoin mining both domestically and internationally. In a statement, Trump pledged to prioritize the development of Bitcoin and crypto initiatives in the United States and safeguard the rights of the nation’s 50 million crypto holders if re-elected as president.

As Trump embarks on his presidential campaign, his alignment with the Bitcoin industry stands in contrast to the position of his potential rival, President Joe Biden, who has shown less enthusiasm towards the cryptocurrency sector. While Biden’s participation in Bitcoin 2024 remains unconfirmed, the event could underscore the divergent approaches of the two candidates towards Bitcoin and its implications for U.S. policies.

For additional details on the Bitcoin 2024 conference and to secure a discounted ticket using a promotional code, interested individuals can visit the official event website. Bitcoin Magazine, a subsidiary of BTC Inc, the organizer of the largest Bitcoin conference, The Bitcoin Conference, will be overseeing the event.

New date announced for Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul boxing match

 

The Show Must Go On

New Day Will Help Reduce Churn To "The Big N" Netflix

All Is Fair In Love And War And Pro Combat Sports

Sports Gonzo Report Under The Media Man Watercooler, with Prime and/or Celsius

The well hyped "Iron" Mike Tyson vs Jake "The Problem Child" Paul boxing match to be broadcast globally via Netflix will now take occur on Friday, November 15th after requiring a reschedule due to a recent Tyson medical issue.

The mega combat sports event will happen live from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, with the already announced Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano co-main event rematch.

The decision to reschedule was announced last week following Tyson suffering what was called ulcer complications after boarding a flight. It was stated that Tyson’s doctors instructed him to take it lighter on training for a period of time that caused concern, and rightly so, due to the timeframe in which the July 20th fight was originally set to take place.

The bout between the 58-year-old Tyson and the 27-year-old Paul was first announced in early-March. It will be Tyson’s first fight of any kind since a November 2020 exhibition boxing bout with Roy Jones Jr. which was preceded by a 15-year-gap of inactivity.

Jake's brother, Paul, had offered to sub (take the place) for Tyson a few weeks ago, and that winner would have to change their surname. The brainchild of "The Maverick" aka "Prime Heel" in hardcore pro wrestling circles, never materialized, but the Paul's always have an ace or two up their sleeves. Logan Paul is set to be high up on the WWE SummerSlam card on August 3 in Cleveland, Ohio. ..IO, right Mr Pat McAfee of WWE Raw fame and sports broadcasting and podcasting mastermind.

The upcoming match is forecast to be the biggest broadcast boxing match in modern history.

Netflix Boxing Undercard:

Katie Taylor vs. Amando Serrano (super lightweight title fight)

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs. Darren Till (cruiserweight)

Ashton Slyve vs. Floyd Schofield (lightweight)

It's Official! Brock Lesnar will challenge John Cena for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Summer Slam!

The Beast is Back, and he's looking for something new to conquer! Our very own Hustler De Tuti Hustlers Paul Heyman brought Brock Lesnar to RAW, and we feel our boss was not going to take "no" for an answer. According to WWE.com:

And John Cena’s SummerSlam opponent is … Randy Orton?!?!

Not quite. The Apex Predator emerged when Triple H made his move to announce The Champ’s challenger, though he was intercepted by Roman Reigns on his way to the ring. So, Plan A is out. Plan B has Dean Ambrose to deal with.

Enter Paul Heyman with Plan C. “C” as in the conqueror himself, Brock Lesnar. And one quick handshake with the COO and reiteration of Brock’s bona fides later, Heyman made a declaration that may yet become a spoiler as well: “This malpracticing Doctor of Thuganomics is in for the beating of a lifetime.”

Bold words. But he’s been right before.
