Here is a little more information about Liberty Media to serve as an introduction to this thread. Liberty Media has stakes in over 90 programming and content companies including those I listed in the initial post and Time Warner, Court TV, Encore, fX Network, Home Shopping Network, TBS SuperStation and Turner Classic Movies. According to the Wall Street Journal article, John Malone hopes to continue to acquire minority stakes in Web and other media companies. Although Liberty Media will be a 100 percent-owned-subsidiary of AT&T, it will be accounted for as an equity investment. In other words, it will be a tracking stock. Under the tracking stock arrangement, all of Liberty Media's earnings or losses will be excluded from the earnings available to the AT&T common shareowners. In addition, Liberty Media will be managed by a separate operating board (headed by John Malone).
