Samantha 2878 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 BIA/Kelsey has the numbers on how much the TV M&A market moved this year. No surprise: it moved a lot. Nearly 300 stations were sold, a 205% increase over 2012. (In other words, more than triple 2012's activity!) The valuation of all sold stations was even more staggering: 367% more year-over-year, for more than $8 billion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damien6786 9 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The largest acquisition of the year was the Tribune/Local TV Deal it said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1945 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Of course, not to mention Gannett/Belo's $2.2B deal, and the over-growing buying spree by the Heathens of Hunt Valley, which all those acquisitions totalled about $2B in 2013. And it also include stations that were bought by those "Spectrum Speculators" (including NRJ TV, Locus Point Networks & OTA Broadcasting). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
