 High-Wire Act - The elusive strategy of America's smartest media titan, John Malone. By Daniel Gross
Last week, the news that the CEO of Liberty Media, John Malone, increased the size of his voting-share stake in Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. made headlines and held out the tantalizing prospect of a boardroom duel between two grizzled media titans.
Malone joined ATandT's board, and TCI Ventures was folded into Liberty Media, which remained Malone's province and investment vehicle.
In fact, this complicated deal, in which Malone swapped a chunk of voting shares and cash for a larger number of voting shares, would seem to run counter to his streamlining strategy of the past year.

Malone, whom Al Gore once dubbed the head of "the cable cosa nostra," was for decades the foremost make-or-break player in cable, playing a pivotal role in launching Discovery, BET, QVC and most of Ted Turner's outlets, including CNN.
Malone knows Murdoch's playbook, too, in part because they've often teamed up over the past 15 years for, among other things, a sports-programming partnership, acquisition of a satellite broadcaster and the $2.5 billion transaction for TV Guide.
Malone, catching Murdoch off guard, swapped a huge block of nonvoting News Corp. stock and almost $700 million in cash for new shares that pushed his voting stake to 9.1 percent, second only to Murdoch's 30 percent.

In this amazing interview, John Malone, the head of TCI and widely considered the Darth Vader of the infobahn, explains the real reason why the Bell Atlantic deal fell through, his eye-opening battlefield perspective on the telecoms wars, and why he'd like to shoot the chief of the FCC (just kidding -- we think).

In 1973, 29-year-old John Malone became the CEO of a debt-ridden Denver cable company, Tele-Communications, Incorporated; in 1998, he sold TCI for $48 billion.
Malone is a complicated hero; focused and driven, he built his empire largely through clever, complicated financing deals that sidestepped bank rules and taxes and enriched an inside group of shareholders.
Using these tactics, Malone acquired hundreds of companies and was viewed as a monopolist, creating a political backlash in Washington that caused him to be called Darth Vader, Genghis Khan, and the Godfather rolled into one.
