Welcome to the fifth edition of Media Insights from PricewaterhouseCoopers.
As in previous years, we analyse the trends driving M&A activity in the European media sector. We also take time to review predictions from the last edition, and set out our thoughts for 2007 and beyond.
- European and UK deal activity
- Private Equity involvement in Media
- Sub-sector analysis
- US involvement / Online / Public Markets
Media M&A again showed itself as a healthy market in 2006, with significant activity in continental Europe, a high level of Private Equity involvement and a long tail of smaller corporate 'in-fills' driving the total number of completions to 175.
Other key themes in 2006 included consolidation within the traditional print sector and significant growth in demand for broadcasters in emerging economies.
