As a regular follower of moneyam I know this bulletin board loves small shares but please consider BSkyB as it will launch a free-to-air service later this year, which will compete with Freeview. For a one off 150 you will be able to gain access to alomst 200 digital channels and have access to pay per view events with no monthly subscription. 27% of the population cannot get Freeview due to weak transmission and with only 43% population with sattelite or cable there is massive growth potential. (Shares June2004)
BSkyB"s recent figures showed subscriber numbers were 19000 down on expectations of 100000 for the last 3 months, but pre tax profits quadrupled. Expenditure of around 450m will be needed in the next 4 years to support growth.
At the current price of 485p on a PE of 16 the shares are sitting near their yearly low, I recently bought 514p and would aprreciate other peoples views, has this recent sell off been overdone ?

Decision on Murdoch's bid for BSkyB likely to be delayed

A decision on whether Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation will be allowed to buy all shares in British Sky Broadcasting is likely to be delayed for some weeks.

Following the revelation of scandals at The News of the World, which resulted in a decision to close the newspaper, the Culture Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, has received a large number of submissions commenting on the proposal.

News Corporation owns 39.1% and has offered 700p a share for all those that it does not possess.

Mr Hunt had indicated that he was likely to approve this provided Sky News was spun off into a different company.

But the latest submissions will take some time to assess and Prime Minister, David Cameron, said that a decision may take some time.

"Calm down dear" needs some of that now ....

News Corporation withdrawing the bid for BSkyB

Old news! :-)

Rebekah Brooks Murdoch and his slimy son are due to appear before
next Tuesday Select CommitteeBrooks has already admitted knowing about payments to police under her watchwhich I believe was later denied and it is also alleged James Murdoch was involved authorising payments to silence Gordon Taylor after his phone was hackedI cant see the two Murdoch's turning upthey wont have their usual unfair advantage high ranking Police officers and Politicians regularly socialised free of charge with the slim balls organisation so the Police investigation and The News International internal inquiry looks sensible lol

A couple of good points.. Hedge funds have been severely burnt on Sky and Vince Cablewho was again laughed at but has yet again come out of this as the clever guyall IMO

Agreed.

There is a bounce in Vince's step.

In a statement of the blindingly obvious, Panmure Gordon says that the probability of a successful takeover by Rupert Murdochs News Corporation of the satellite broadcaster BSkyB has been reduced to zero.

Panmure, which previously thought there was a 10% chance of the deal going ahead, places its target price on BSkyB under review, following yesterdays news that NewsCorp, which publishes the Sun and the Times, has withdrawn its bid for the satellite broadcaster.

As the market now has certainty on the outcome, we would expect the shares to rally, at least in the short term., Panmure said, adding that it is now looking into the fundamentals in more detail.

Panmure has a hold/special situations recommendation on BSkyB.

BSkyB will fall further as investigations gets along...

Were the leaks due to phone hacking?
