Telefónica in €600 million Spanish TV rights deal for La Liga: Telefónica has agreed to pay €600 million for the domestic rights to broadcast matches of all Spanish league teams including Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, as part of its efforts to push the pay-television market in its home country.
BBC loses control of TV rights for Olympics: The BBC could lose coverage of the Olympic games after the broadcast rights were awarded to Eurosport in a $1.45 billion (£922 million) deal.
Sky / Formula One: off-track entertainment: Sky already has committed one of its seven sports channels to Formula One. But it does not need to own the sport. Yes, the broadcaster is shifting its strategy towards content Ownership (via TV series such as Fortitude) rather than just distribution. The move helps to broaden the Sky brand worldwide. But Formula One would not be a good extension of that strategy. The sport has lost some of its popularity — its global television audience fell 12% last year, according to consultants Repucom. The relatively limited span of its viewers (mostly men over the age of 35) does not help. Even if Sky believes it can do better with Formula One than CVC, can it really afford to splash out on another investment so soon after the deals to create Sky Europe? Buying Sky Deutschland and Sky Italia from 21st Century Fox cost Sky £7 billion last year. Buying all of Formula One could cost up to £5 billion. Using debt would push Sky’s net debt to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation from an estimated 3 times in the current year, on Liberum estimates, to more than 5 times. Sky could use equity instead. But a rights issue would raise the question of whether Fox, Owner of 39% of Sky, would participate. Citigroup believes that it would, particularly if doing so meant blocking rival Liberty Global. But these questions should remain theoretical. Sky should pass on owning Formula One. The broadcaster built its brand on distributing content. Spending billions on a fairly niche sport is not a worthwhile detour.
Sky and Liberty join £4 billion race for F1: Broadcasting giant Sky and John Malone’s Liberty Global are weighing offers for a £4.5 billion controlling stake in Formula One, gatecrashing the plans of a Qatari-backed consortium to take control of the sport.
Reports in the Telegraph over the weekend state that the Murdoch family/Fox could be considering a new bid to take 100% control of Sky after rebuffing two recent approaches for their 39% stake in the company. We think the Telegraph report highlights the potential strategic value of Sky to a number of different parties and this is not reflected in the current share price. We remain fundamentally positive on Sky and believe investors have underestimated the upside to growth from new initiatives and the benefits of scale from the Sky Europe de

Been a disappointing/frustrating week for the Longs, hope we can settle comfortably above 1100 by the bank holiday.
Can see a further 5-10% upside from here. Long.
