Talk and more talk has led to speculation on how the entertainment
industry will further consolidate to result in fewer market participants creating
and distributing content viewed on big and small screens alike. The latest chatter is centered on the
potential sale of Lions Gate’s Starz assets (purchased just 2 years ago) to CBS,
and then the potential combination of Lions Gate’s remaining assets with
MGM. If CBS also purchases Viacom, its video
library and scale expand significantly.
It begs the question…is MGM right for Lions Gate? Might Lions Gate “do better” in the long run with
Sony/Columbia or even NBC/Universal if either company had the means and interest
to make a deal? I think so….but that is just more speculation!
