Liberty Global Receives EU Go-Ahead for Ziggo Acquisition – Analyst Blog

Posted on by

Liberty Global Plc. ( LBTYA ), a leading cable MSO (multi service operator) in Europe, has recently received the European Union (EU)'s regulatory approval to acquire full control of Ziggo N.V., the largest cable MSO in the Netherlands. The company expects to close the deal in next month.

At present, Liberty Global holds a 28.5% stake in Ziggo. Notably, the company will pay around $13.6 billion to acquire the remaining 71.5% stake including its outstanding debt. The deal will be completed through a stock and cash transaction.

Prior to the approval, the deal faced close scrutiny by the EU Competition Commission as the regulator expressed its concern over the impact the merger will have on the Netherlands' cable TV industry and the Flemish-speaking areas of neighboring Belgium.

In Jul 2014, Liberty Global offered some concessions to defend its case against the anti-trust regulatory body. As part of the concessions offered, the company has decided to vend its premium pay-TV channel "Film1".

Furthermore, Liberty Global will not prevent online video streaming service providers such as Netflix Inc. ( NFLX ) from accessing its web (Internet) network either contractually or technically for eight years. Low-cost online video streaming service providers depend completely on Internet links for their offerings. In addition, Liberty Global has pledged not to discriminate against competitors that buy its content.

Liberty Global boasts a strong presence in the Dutch cable TV market as its UPC Broadband Holding BV unit is the second largest cable MSO in the nation. A merger between Liberty Global and Ziggo will create a dominant cable TV operator in the Netherlands with approximately 10.8 million revenue generating units. Ziggo also competes with telecom operators such as Royal KPN N.V. and Vodafone Group Plc. ( VOD ).

During the last 6 years, Liberty Global has been striving to extensively penetrate the European pay-TV industry with its bundled video, voice and Internet (data) services. The European markets are still relatively untapped for this unique triple-play offering. At present, Liberty Global is also pursuing a systematic diversification in the content development segment apart from steadily strengthening its foothold in the European pay-TV market.

In synergy with the latest policy, Liberty Global acquired TV content producer All3Media for $1 billion, in partnership with Discovery Communications Inc. ( DISCA ) in May 2014. In Jul 2014, the company acquired an approximate 6.4% stake of ITV plc, the largest commercial TV broadcaster in the U.K., from British Sky Broadcasting Group Plc.

Former Ukip MEP Godfrey Bloom quits party because it is too 'politically correct'

Posted on by

Bear in mind we started in 2009 in Europe with 13 MEPs and we ended up with five, so there are dead UKIP bodies all over the place with knives quivering in their back so make sure its not yours.

The former MEP, who was first elected to Brussels in 2004, said: I was a founding member of Ukip and Ive been a significant donor.

But now I find that instead of being the libertarian party, the party of common sense, Ive been banned from speaking.

So, yes, its a very sad day for me. But the party seems to have gone astray."

He added: "Quite whats going on I couldnt say, but Ive had enough.

What kind of party are we supposed to be? The while point and the reason we are doing so well is because we were supposed to something different.

We seem to be drifting towards the politically correct mainstream like everybody else.

Ive had enough of party politics. I dont think party politics is for people who tell it like it is.

Mr Bloom caused an outcry in 2012 after saying that foreign aid is sent to "Bongo Bongo Land".

It came after he sparked accusations of sexism after saying: I just dont think they clean behind the fridge enough, a remark which ultimately led to his downfall.

Outspoken former Ukip MEP Godfrey Bloom has quit the party claiming it is now too politically correct.

Mr Bloom, a former flat mate of Nigel Farage, said he was leaving with a heavy heart but had had enough after being banned from speaking because of his controversial views.

He left with a warning for Ukips first elected MP Douglas Carswell that he could be knifed in the back by his new party if he was not careful.

Mr Bloom, who represented Yorkshire and the Humber for Ukip in the European Parliament for 10 years, added: Douglas, watch your back.

Libertarian Haugh could shift NC Senate race

Three Senate candidates debate issues

By GARY D. ROBERTSON, Associated Press

WILMINGTON, N.C. U.S. Senate candidate Sean Haugh relishes his current job delivering pizzas because it brings joy to hungry families anticipating his arrival.

But the former Libertarian Party leader from Durham also enjoys take out more specifically taking out North Carolina from under a two-party system he says narrows messages voters receive and breeds candidates who must rely on outside groups for campaign funds and support to be successful.

"We have two corporate special-interest candidates, and there's me," Haugh said in an interview.

Haugh and other Libertarian leaders are hopeful his candidacy in November will mark the most successful showing ever for the party in a North Carolina statewide election.

Some polls have shown him receiving a percentage of the vote in the high single digits. Even getting 2 or 3 percent, like the Libertarian candidates for U.S. Senate in 2008 and 2010, could be enough to alter the outcome of the tight race between Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan and Republican state House Speaker Thom Tillis.

"I am here to provide an alternative that other people really aren't hearing," Haugh said during his only television debate appearance in Wilmington. "I get to go all across the political spectrum, to all different kinds of audiences, with the exact same message stop all war and stop spending more money that we have."

The optimism reflects recent progress for North Carolina's only other certified state party, which preaches limited government and staying out of people's personal business, as well as low approval numbers for his two competitors.

For decades, the state Libertarian Party had to collect tens of thousands of signatures routinely to keep its candidates on the ballot because nominees for governor or president didn't receive the 10 percent of the vote needed to remain an official party. When they fell short, state officials converted registered Libertarian voters to unaffiliated.

Libertarian Candidate Dismisses Rauners Claim That A Vote For Him Is A Waste

(CBS) The Libertarian Party candidate for Governor is rejecting Republican Bruce Rauners statement that a vote for him is wasted.

Libertarian hopeful Chad Grimm wasnt invited to last weeks debate in Peoria or Tuesdays debate in Chicago on CBS 2 because he is not scoring high enough in opinion polls, a chicken and egg situation that frustrates him. He says if the people could hear his views, more people would support him.

People are fed up with the same-old, same-old and weve learned from the past that we get the same results whether it is a Republican in office or a Democrat in office, especially in Illinois, Grimm said.

He laughed when he heard Rauner say in Peoria that a vote for a Libertarian was a waste.

Mr. Rauner spent a lot of time and a lot of resources and a lot of money trying to keep us from the ballot and it didnt work and so I dont believe when he just kind of shrugs it off like that, I dont believe he is sincere, Grimm said.

Grimm feels his message of limited government can truly touch any voter.

Libertarian Wyllie deserves a forum

Posted on by

In the race for governor, Adrian Wyllie is the mandate-killer. That alone makes him too important to ignore.

The Libertarian Party candidate belongs on stage alongside Republican Gov. Rick Scott and Democrat Charlie Crist at Wednesday's statewide TV debate at Broward College in Davie.

But barring some dramatic last-minute intervention from a federal judge, Wyllie will remain on the sidelines.

Wyllie belongs on TV, at the very least, to show voters what they are doing by casting votes for him to protest the mean-spirited, vote-against-the-other-guy race between Scott and Crist.

For example, Wyllie says that if elected, he'll seek to abolish all property taxes on owner-occupied homes and cut the state budget by 30 percent, or about $23 billion. Voters deserve to know how that would eviscerate public schools and health care.

Wyllie opposes what he sees as pervasive big-government intrusion into liberties. He opposes Common Core and the REAL ID driver's license law and favors full legalization of marijuana.

Several recent polls show Wyllie hovering near 10 percent, a surprisingly strong showing for a minor-party candidate. But the debate sponsors, Leadership Florida and Florida Press Association, set the threshold for Wyllie's participation at 15 percent. Since he has not reached that number, they excluded him. He filed suit in federal court in Fort Lauderdale and hopes for a hearing by Wednesday before U.S. District Judge James Cohn.

The Florida Press Association has enlisted a team of attorneys to oppose Wyllie's inclusion, meaning that news outlets across Florida, including the Times, an FPA member, have become a party to silencing Wyllie.

The establishment's determination to keep Wyllie out will only help his candidacy by enhancing his image as a little guy not controlled by big money and power.

His exclusion also reinforces one of the worst perceptions about politics: that it's of, by and for insiders, accessible only to the rich and well-known.

Libertarian's debate request denied; McConnell, Grimes set for KET

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - A federal judge has denied Libertarian U.S. Senate candidate David Patterson's request to force a public broadcaster to include him in Monday night's debate between Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell and Democratic challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes.

U.S. District Judge Gregory F. Van Tatenhove ruled that Kentucky Educational Television did not exclude David Patterson from its Kentucky Tonight program solely because of his political views. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled public broadcasters can exclude candidates based on their level of support but not because of their political views.

"The First Amendment is not a rule of quantity at any cost," Van Tatenhove wrote. "Voters may actually benefit by a forum or debate that includes only those candidates that have a realistic chance of winning rather than many voices competing for very limited time. What KET cannot do is pick and choose candidates based on their viewpoints. KET has not done so here."

KET executive director Shae Hopkins said the station believes "all journalists have the right to decide for themselves who to interview and what issues to cover." But she added that KET will "forever be committed to presenting a diverse array of viewpoints, fairly and objectively."

Libertarian Party of Kentucky chairman Ken Moellman said he was not happy with the decision but said the state party does not have enough money to appeal the ruling. Patterson, in a news release, criticized KET for requiring candidates raise a minimum of $100,000 to appear in the debate.

"That means you must be rich or have rich friends to even stand a chance," Patterson said. "Kentuckians now have their hard-earned tax dollars being used to deprive them of knowing their options when they walk into the ballot box."

Libertarian candidate for governor makes push in NE Fla.

Posted on by

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -

With just more than three weeks to the election, the men in the race for Florida's governor are making their final push to get votes.

A University of North Florida poll finds former Gov. Charlie Crist in the lead over Gov. Rick Scott in a three-way race between them and Libertarian candidate Adrian Wyllie.

Crist holds a 5-point lead over Scott, 43 percent to 38 percent, with Wyllie polling at 10 percent.

Wyllie is making his rounds in northeast Florida. On Monday afternoon, he hosted a lunch at the World Golf Village. He said it was open to everyone who wanted to know who he is and what he stands for.

The lunch was an intimate, face-to-face meet and greet. Wyllie went to the table, talking with supporters and those who just wanted to learn about what he's stumping for.

"Because we don't have $100 million to spend on TV ads, so this is one of the best opportunities to get the message out to the people," Wyllie said. "And what we're finding is, I'm currently polling anywhere between 15 and 20 percent, depending on the polls."

Wyllie, a business owner and investigative journalist from Pinellas County, is widely considered the underdog to heavy hitters Crist and Scott. But support is picking up, he said, because people want a real person with real answers.

"It's really important to understand that the Republicans and Democrats don't own your vote," Wyllie said. "Your vote is your own, and don't let them scare you into voting one of the same. You know, vote your conscience, and I encourage everyone to look at my platform and take a stand with me because we can win this election."

Wyllie's top platforms are legalizing marijuana, cutting taxes and fighting corruption. He's gotten a lot of attention lately for protesting, even suing, to be included in the gubernatorial debates. He was shut out of the last one hosted by Univision, but said he's pushing to be part of the future debates, including the one that'll be in Jacksonville.
