Consolidated Media Holdings (CMH) was an Australia investment company focused on subscription television.
Consolidated Media Holdings (CMH) was a publicly listed Australian company (ASX:CMJ). Its two largest shareholders were Consolidated Press Holdings Limited and Seven Network Limited.
CMH was formed following a name change by Publishing and Broadcasting Limited (PBL), and the PBL and Crown Schemes of Arrangement, in November 2007.
CMH had a 25 per cent interest in FOXTEL. CMH's stake in Foxtel was held jointly with News Corporation through the joint-venture vehicle Sky Cable Pty Ltd. The remaining 50% share of Foxtel is owned by Telstra Corporation through the holding company Telstra Media Pty Ltd.
CMH had a 50 per cent shareholding in Fox Sports Pty Limited (FOX Sports, SPEED, FOX Footy, FOX Sports News and FUEL TV), with the other 50 per cent held by News Corporation.
CMH previously held a 50% interest in PBL Media, with assets including the Nine Network, NBN Television, Sky News Australia, Australian Consolidated Press, NineMSN, CarSales, Ticketek and Acer Arena. In September 2007 CMH sold down a further 25% of their interest in PBL Media to CVC Asia Pacific. This was followed in December 2008 with CVC Asia Pacific injecting over $300 million AUD into PBL Media, which resulted in CMH's shareholding being diluted to less than 1% of the company.
