As I stated in a previous article several weeks ago entitled: “Sirius XM Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI) and Liberty (NASDAQ: LCAPA, LMDIA, LINTA) Pursue Other Markets”, it appears things are heating up for the future plans of the Satellite Radio Company. On November 13^th Liberty Global, another of John Malone’s diverse holdings issued the following Press Release titled “Liberty Global to Acquire Unity Media.”

In the release it states the following points of interest:

1) November 13, 2009: Liberty Global, Inc. (“Liberty Global,” “LGI,” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: LBTYA, LBTYB and LBTYK) today announced that it has entered into a share purchase agreement with Unity Media S.C.A. to acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Unitymedia GmbH (”Unitymedia”), Germany’s second largest cable operator.

2) Liberty Global will acquire 100% of the shares of Unitymedia for an equity purchase price of €2.0 billion ($3.0 billion), from its parent, which is owned by a group of shareholders led by BC Partners and Apollo.

3) Liberty Global is being advised by Goldman Sachs in connection with this acquisition.
