o VNU Agrees to $9 Billion Bid by
Private-Equity Firms
Amsterdam - VNU, currently the largest market-research
firm in the world and publisher of Billboard and The Hollywood
Reporter, announced that it has agreed to be acquired by a group of
private-equity firms for $9 billion in cash. The Dutch firm accepted
the offer after the group -- which includes Alpinvest, Blackstone,
Carlyle, Hellman & Friedman, Kohlberg Kravis Robertsand Thomas H Lee
-- increased its bid from about $33.40 per share to $34.30 per
share. Fidelity International, a Dutch business-information group
and one of VNU's largest shareholders, said it was unlikely to
support the offer, however. The bid requires support from 95% of
VNU's shareholders for approval.

o XM
Satellite Radio to Lose Ad-Free Status After Ruling
Washington - XM Satellite Radio, a satellite radio
provider that has used its commercial-free programming as a
marketing tool since its inception, could soon be forced to
introduce advertising on a handful of channels, according to
Billboard Radio Monitor. An arbitration panel has ruled that Clear
Channel, an early investor in XM, has the right to place ads on the
four music channels that it controls. The remainder of XM's 160
channels would remain ad-free, and the company has vowed to launch
four new commercial-free stations in an effort to offset the change.
Clear Channel invested in XM in 1998, six years before XM decided to
make its music channels commercial-free. The news sent shares of XM
down by nearly 4% in Wednesday's mid-afternoon trading on the Nasdaq.
