In a newly issued research report, Maxim Group Senior Media Analyst John Tinker reiterates his BUY rating on Liberty Media (NASDAQ:LMCA) and raises his price target on the equity from $106.00 to $138.00. Tinker attributes his upgraded price target on Liberty Media “mostly” to his Sirius XM Radio (NASDAQ:SIRI) price target forecast of $3.20.

Using our SIRI target price enables investors to gauge the upside of both stocks and assess their respective weighting. SIRI is the “pure play”, which is estimated to cumulatively generate $3B in free cash over the next 3 years; LMCA owns 40% (with the option to own 45.2%) of SIRI and is a more complicated indirect play, holding a portfolio of public and private media assets.

– John Tinker, Senior Media Analyst, Maxim Group

Tinker’s $138.00 per share asset value for Liberty Media (LMCA) is based on $91.17 per share of value from public equities, of which Sirius XM Radio (SIRI) makes up $78.00 per share at $9.5 Billion (using his $3.20 price target), along with other public stocks such as Live Nation (NYSE:LYV) with a $14.00 price target and Viacom (NASDAQ:VIAB) with a $59.00 price target at their current market prices. Tinker factors in $32.41 per share from private and other holdings and $14.25 per share in net cash. Read More

By Amy Gilroy

Sirius XM Radio (NASDAQ:SIRI) retail product partner Audiovox Electronics parent VOXX Corporation (NASDAQ:VOXX) announced gains in sales of OEM and traditional car audio for fiscal 2012 ended in February.

Aftermarket car audio and security sales rose but were offset by lower sales of Sirius XM satellite radio products and fulfillment of FLO TV products (discontinued last year).

The company recently reported an increase of nearly 5 percent in combined car audio, security and OEM sales for the fiscal year ended in February compared to a year earlier. OEM sales alone grew by 14.8 percent over the year earlier but were offset by a $20.8 million downturn in Sirius XM satellite radio/FLO TV fulfillment.

The Sirius XM satellite radio segment, however, is expected to see an increase this coming year, Pat Lavelle, VOXX President and CEO told analysts Tuesday. Read More

On the heels of the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) dismissal of Liberty Media Corporation’s (NASDAQ:LMCA) application filing seeking “de facto” control of Sirius XM Radio’s (NASDAQ:SIRI) licenses on Friday, Liberty Media announced this morning that they have entered into a forward purchase contract for 302 million shares of Sirius XM stock at a price of $2.15 per share. Liberty Media said that this equates to “a total notional amount of $650 million” and that “if physically settled” would result in Liberty Media’s ownership stake in Sirius XM rising to 45.2% on an “as-converted basis.”

Liberty Media President and CEO Greg Maffei stated on Liberty’s Q1 conference call with analysts this morning that the company entered into this forward purchase contract to increase its stake in Sirius XM Radio because “we thought it was attractive financially and because we thought it increased some of our options around what the ultimate relationship with Sirius XM is.” Read More

National Latino Broadcasting (NLB) launches a new show on Sirius XM Radio (NASDAQ:SIRI) today. Latin Grammy En Vivo, will air daily on SiriusXM En Vivo (Sirius Radio and XM Radio channel 147) at 4:00 pm Eastern. The new show, hosted by industry veteran Kike Posada, is produced by National Latino Broadcasting and The Latin Recording Academy, the non-profit organization that recognizes excellence in the recorded arts and sciences through its annual Latin Grammy Awards. The Latin Grammy is the most prestigious award in Latin music.

In the short time it has been on the air, En Vivo has become a favorite of Hispanics, and non-Hispanics alike, looking for a channel where Latin music is more than a preference. The sheer diversity of artists and genres that will be present on this show makes it truly exciting, and the treasures that will be airing directly from The Latin Recording Academy’s vault is what will make this endeavor unique and unprecedented.

– Nelson Albareda, President and CEO of NLB

Latin Grammy En Vivo features a wide variety of music genres, including music by Latin Grammy-nominated and award winning artists. Due to National Latino Broadcasting’s exclusive agreement with The Latin Recording Academy, Sirius XM Radio’s En Vivo channel has the rights to air Latin Grammy content daily, including historical content from The Latin Recording Academy’s archives. Sirius XM’s Latin Grammy En Vivo is the official satellite radio partner of the Latin Grammy Awards. Read More

Sirius XM Radio (NASDAQ:SIRI): FCC Dismisses Liberty Media (NASDAQ:LMCA) Filing for De Facto Control

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has issued a reply to Liberty Media’s (NASDAQ:LMCA) March 20th application filing for consent to transfer de facto control of Sirius XM Radio (NASDAQ:SIRI). The FCC dismisses the applications as being “unacceptable for filing.”

We find Liberty Media’s applications to be unacceptable for filing because they are defective with respect to “execution” and “other matters of a formal character.” Specifically, Liberty Media was unable to obtain the passwords, signatures, and other necessary information from Sirius to properly file an electronic transfer of control application. Furthermore, we conclude that a waiver of basic filing requirements is not warranted, as the facts disclosed in the referenced applications are not sufficient to establish that Liberty Media intends to take actions, such as conversion of preferred to common stock and installation of a board majority, that would constitute exercise of de facto or de jure control. We therefore dismiss Liberty Media’s applications.

– The Federal Communications Commission

Liberty Media’s applications with the FCC sought approval for a transfer of de facto control based upon the expiration of the restrictions in the 2009 investment agreement with Sirius XM Radio, in which they took an approximate 40% take in the satellite radio service provider. Liberty Media stated in its applications that Sirius XM Radio would not provide the company with its passwords, signatures and other information required to file an electronic transfer of control application.
