Media Notes: Comcast Considering Another Offer For Fox Assets

Comcast is reportedly "considering a new offer" for Rupert Murdoch's 21st Century Fox assets, despite an agreement in December to sell them to Walt Disney for $52.4B. Sources said that Comcast’s deliberations indicate that it "believes it still has a chance to clinch a deal with Fox," even though its previous bid last year of more than $60B was rejected "over concerns that regulators worried about media consolidation could thwart it" (REUTERS, 2/11).

The FA of Finland (SPL) signed a pilot agreement with Pitchero, which will supply a grassroots digital platform. The U.K.’s leading provider of technology to amateur sports clubs will provide a "first-of-its-kind platform" to the SPL (SOCCEREX, 2/13).

Boxing promoter Frank Warren appointed IMG as his exclusive global distribution partner for future boxing events. The deal will see the sports media firm exclusively represent Warren's broadcast rights in all territories except the U.K. and North America (IMG).
