The stock of Ten Network on 4 December 2014 closed $A0.025 lower at $A0.20, as investors assessed the modest offers made by takeover suitors. Pay TV group Foxtel has formed an alliance with US-based Discovery Communications to launch a bid worth $A590m for the free-to-air TV business, and a briefing on the proposal has been given to the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission by Foxtel’s legal counsel. Meanwhile Foxtel CEO Richard Freudenstein says a recent discounting campaign has brought a marked increase in new subscriber growth
