The Australian Championship Thread

Not yet. "The deal for Foxtel remains subject to regulatory approvals, including from the Foreign Investment Review Board".

AND Murdoch would keep a share of it, 10% or something.

An absolute joke of an organisation that has turned almost everything into a psychotic duopoly and in some cases a monopoly.

May as well not exist and save us the tax dollars.

10% is meaningless.

Is that true? I’m sure I heard the sale was for all Telstra and News shares.

News Corp and Telstra have agreed to sell Foxtel Group to British sports streaming and entertainment company DAZN in a $3.4 billion deal.

Foxtel's streaming services Binge and Kayo Sports are included in the sale, which is expected to close in the second half of 2024/25 subject to regulatory approvals.

Telstra and News Corp would remain shareholders in DAZN, the company said.

Under the deal, News Corp will receive $578 million in cash for repayment for outstanding loans to Foxtel Group, while Telstra will get $128 million.

The transaction values Foxtel Group at $3.4 billion, including debt. Under its terms, News Corp will receive a 6 per cent minority interest in DAZN.

Telstra, which owns a 35 per cent stake in Foxtel, will get a 3 per cent stake in the London-based sports streaming service

I find this really disappointing. I was no fan of Lowy Jr & Gallop, but at least they fronted up to the media for things like this. They didn't usually have the answers we wanted to hear, but at least they showed up to take the questions.

 

[southoftheyarra]

Wishing there was a press conference so I could attend as the beat reporter for the forum.
