NEWS!!!! Written by Chris Forrester Wednesday, 27 January 2010 05:43 Liberty Satellite Radio is wrapping up its purchase of Worldspace. Documents filed before a US Bankruptcy Court show that an agreement has been reached. Liberty has, to date, paid a total of US$19.6m to keep Worldspace afloat. A filing to the US Bankruptcy Court says that Liberty has paid in another $1m to fund payroll and other obligations for Worldspace. “The Debtors [Worldspace] hope that that such funding will provide a bridge to a strategic transaction between Liberty and the Debtors,” said the filing, adding that the purchase is the Debtors’ “best [and perhaps only] hope of confirming a plan and m\aking distributions to creditors”. January’s bill for running costs, including liquidation costs for its South African operation, amount to $848,823. Worldspace India is shown as costing $42,000 in terms of its “January payroll”. © Rapid TV News 2010 http://www.rapidtvnews.com/index.php/201001275692/liberty-closing-in-on-worldspace.html
