That's ashame as it would of removed the Sky-Murdoch link. Hopefully someone buys up Sky soon. Hey Virginmedia have £6 billion of debt why not add another £3 billion and by Sky?

Re: General Sky TV Discussion

You do realise that News Corp, Sky's majority shareholder, has nearly $15 billion of debt - it's quite common in large corporates...

http://markets.ft.com/Research/Marke...als?s=NCRB:LSE

In fact, it raised $2.5 billion of it only last year...

I'm not sure what your point is? Sky makes over £1billion profit who cares about the Murdochs they soon won't have any Sky shares. Some of the banks that hold Virginmedia shares are billions in debt on top of Virginmedias debt.

I did not intend my comment to make this a Virgin V Sky thread.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion

My point is that most large corporates have a lot of long-term bonds and debt, and I was using a company (Sky) in the same line of business as an example, and also quoted it's parent (mostly) company.

Another example would be BT, who have a around £3 billion in bonds/debts, as well as nearly $5 billion and €3.5 billion in other bonds and debts.

LOL, Very creative Hugh You can't be "mostly" a parent company you either are or you aren't and Newscorp are not Skys parent company. Another member of Murdochs empire left the Sky board of directors this week. So their influence is slowly becoming less and less.

It would appear BSKYB and Miramax films have signed an exclusive multi-year content deal.
