Billionaire Who Failed to Buy Metro Bets on Europe’s TV Business
(Bloomberg) -- Daniel Kretinsky, who owns a $7.8 billion Czech energy conglomerate, bought a minority stake in a leading German entertainment company in a contrarian bet on the future of European television industry.The billionaire is the largest shareholder in Czech Media Invest, which has bought about 4.1% in ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE, according to a statement late Friday. It’s the first step in CMI’s new strategy to purchase minority shareholdings in the continent’s media companies.The group, which owns several Czech news publications as well as a stake in French newspaper Le Monde, is diversifying into the nationwide television business, which it sees as able to compete alongside digital platforms to be the dominant advertising format.“We do not share the skepticism held by the majority of the market as seen through the decline in the valuations of several European television groups,” CMI board member Branislav Miskovic said in the statement.Kretinsky, with a net worth of at least $3 billion according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, holds 50% of CMI, while his long-term investment partner, Patrik Tkac, has a 40% stake. Earlier this year, the duo tried to take over German wholesaler Metro AG, but their 5.8 billion-euro ($6.5 billion) bid was rebuffed.Going against a prevailing market trend is a hallmark of Kretinsky’s investment strategy. In the last decade, his main business EPH has acquired a number of conventional energy assets across Europe, betting that the region will continue to rely on coal and gas for electricity even as nations push for more use of renewable energy.In about a decade, a debt-fueled acquisition spree turned EPH from a small Czech utility into one of the biggest power companies in central Europe. It had revenue of 7 billion euros last year and valued its assets in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, Italy, the U.K., Hungary and Poland at about 13.3 billion euros.ProSieben shares have gained 3.5% this month, but the stock is still down 16% since the start of the year, valuing the company at 3 billion euros. Its 15 free and pay channels reach 45 million TV households in Germany, Austria and Switzerland every day, according to CMI data. Last year, ProSiebenSat.1’s digitial platforms achieved 3 billion video views.”We welcome every investor in P7S1 and see this as a confirmation of our strategy,” ProSieben spokeswoman Susanne Brieu said by phone Saturday.Via CMI, Kretinsky owns four daily newspapers and several dozen magazines and web titles. The company also has two printing houses and owns major radio stations in the Czech Republic and Romania. Apart from the Le Monde stake, CMI also owns the French version of Elle magazine and the weekly Marianne.\--With assistance from Stephan Kahl.To contact the reporter on this story: Peter Laca in Prague at placa@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Balazs Penz at bpenz@bloomberg.net, John Viljoen, Christopher ElserFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.

ProsiebenSat, Mediaset deny talks on creating pan-European TV company
MILAN/FRANKFURT, May 31 (Reuters) - Broadcasters ProSiebenSat.1 and Mediaset denied a newspaper report on Friday that they were in talks on creating a pan-European TV company after the Italian media house bought a 9.6% stake in its German rival this week. The holding company would be based in the Netherlands or Belgium and not in countries such as Italy, Spain or Germany where the broadcasters have much of their business, Italian daily Il Messaggero reported, citing a plan drawn up by Mediaset's adviser Citi. ProSieben was focusing on the launch next month of its streaming joint venture with Discovery Inc, called Joyn, as well as initiatives to develop 'smart' advertising, Conze added in a statement.

ProSieben sets June launch for 'Joyn' streaming venture
ProSiebenSat.1 Media will launch its new streaming venture in June as the German broadcaster seeks to expand the digital side of its business to compensate for a decline in TV advertising. The initial version of 'Joyn' - a mashup of the words 'joy' and 'join' - will be ad-funded, with subscription options expected in late autumn or early winter, CEO Max Conze said. Conze, who has spent two million euros of his own cash in the last six months buying ProSieben shares, wants to build a digital media and e-commerce powerhouse.

Private Equity Could Be Surprise Guest in TV Drama
The stock has fallen 26 percent since he unveiled his vision for the German broadcaster in November, which involves a focus on ramping up production of German language content and extending the investments in new digital offerings that were started by his predecessor. Replacing the chief commercial officer, who manages the relationship with advertisers, is particularly worrying at a time when ad revenue is already declining.
