Agora vying for a 33% stake in Superstacja TV station
Agora, publisher of daily Gazeta Wyborcza, is negotiating terms for purchasing a 33 percent stake in television station Superstacja, which, according to unofficial sources, has garnered interest from German publishing houses including Bauer and Axel Springer.
However, according to Rzeczpospolita, Marek Sowa's Agora stands the highest chances of becoming the third equivalent shareholder in the entertainment-information broadcaster.
The transaction will cost Agora zł.30 million, the amount initially proposed by the current shareholders, which include Ster, a company related to Polsat, and broadcaster's founder and president Ryszard Krajewski, each holding a 50 percent stake. "If, however, the transaction will go in the direction of purchasing all shares in Superstacja in the future, Agora will gain fixed assets necessary for developing television broadcasting. Paying zł.30 million for only 33 percent certainly makes no sense," said Grzegorz Lityński, KBC Securities analyst.
Agora did not comment on the news regarding the planned transaction. According to Rzeczpospolita, it is also negotiating the acquisition of 100 percent stake in youth television 4fun.tv for over zł.30 million.
