Rupert Murdoch's UK/ETC BSkyB subscriber numbers hit 8.1m
Wednesday, 1 February 2006, 08:37 GMT
James Murdoch said BSkyB would "push the bar further" this year Satellite broadcaster BSkyB has said subscriber numbers rose 215,000 to 8.1 million in the quarter to 31 December, up from 7.6 million a year previously. It also reported pre-tax profits of £390m ($691m) for the half-year to the end of December, up 14% on a year ago.
BSkyB recently paid £211m for Easynet, allowing it to package services such as high-speed internet access, pay-TV and phone calls.
Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation owns 37.6% of the broadcaster.
Confident on targets
BSkyB has recently been under attack over two of its most attractive viewer offerings.

The EU has recently said it must end its exclusive coverage of English Premier League football, while MPs are unhappy at its exclusive deal on England test cricket matches.
Chief executive James Murdoch said more customers signed up to Sky during the last three months of 2005 than at any time in the last three years.
"This year we'll push the bar further with the launch of high-definition TV and our broadband service," he said.
"Results like these reinforce our confidence that we will achieve our goal of 10 million customers in 2010."
Less customer desertions
Churn, a major indicator looked at by the market to see if subscribers are sticking with the service, fell to 10.6% from 11.7% the previous quarter.
BSkyB said the seasonal effect of Christmas and the lack of price increases accounted for the fall in the level of customer desertions.
"Subscriber growth is ahead of expectations, the numbers in line and churn below 11%, which is pretty good, so I'd expect the shares to tick up," said Redwan Ahmed, an industry analyst at Oriel Securities.
BSkyB expects to add 100,000 net subscribers in the half year to 30 June, compared with 178,000 in the same period last year.

PPV Corrales, Castillo to fight June 3 in Las Vegas
April 11, 2006
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) -- Diego Corrales and Jose Luis Castillo will fight for the WBC lightweight title June 3 in Las Vegas.
The fighters have split two previous meetings. The third bout was announced Tuesday.
ADVERTISEMENT
Corrales is 40-3 with 33 knockouts. Castillo, a former two-time WBC lightweight champion, is 54-7-1 with 47 knockouts.
Corrales won their first bout on a 10th-round TKO that gave him the WBC title in May 2005 in Las Vegas.
Castillo won the rematch five months later with a fourth-round knockout. But Corrales earned the WBC title when Castillo failed to make the 135-pound limit and one of his camp members was caught trying to tamper with the scale at the weigh-in.
"It will not be easy, but I will definitely make the weight this time," Castillo said. "I expect another great fight, just like out first two."
The 12-round bout will be held at the Thomas & Mack Center.

Sorry, bmarley. I own and have for years. Long before they got into this TV market. They are going into the UK, that I believe. Bingo went out and found a cable company, BSkyB, and is posting it as if a contract is signed. That is speculation. Start READING the posts and quit ASSUMING that everything posted here is fact. Do your homework.

I have done my homework, what Bingo has posted is VERY VERY good DD with very viable points ON the TFN website it states "UK comin soon" what cable carrier is in the UK.....hmmmm
so for the time being I will assume my own DD IS IN fact TRUE...

I should say that I don't deny the possibility that the deal could take place. It just should not be printed as if it is fact. At this point, a deal with BSkyB is not fact... just speculation.

wooooo again I wasnt offering the hug...yikes... that's ok though I'll just put a little red flag by your name...
I think what Bingo thinks this b/c
- on the TFN site it has that whole UK comin soon thing ---fine,cool, whatever
and if that was all to the "dd" that bingo was saying/linkin a BSkYB deal with TFN then yeah I would also say "PURE SPECULATION....
BUT considering the fact that TFN/BKMP has hired on a group that has ALREADY WORKED WITH BSkYB == Trajectory Sports & Media Group, LLC (sorry dont have the link me)=== to handle their media outlets and such, it would prove very misused money hiring them on. Dont you?

The run up from .0003 to .0006 is because of the MM's covering their short position on the stock. They have held it down for a long time. All the buying pressure forced them to chase the POS to cover. I expected a heathly pull back sometime.
