On Dec. 10, 2008, Standard&Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its ratings on Englewood, Colo.-based Liberty Media Corp., including the 'BB+' corporate credit rating and removed them from CreditWatch, where they were placed with negative implications, on Sept. 4, 2008. The rating outlook is negative. The previous CreditWatch listing was prompted by Liberty Media's plan to distribute businesses and assets attributed to Liberty Entertainment to existing tracking stock holders. Liberty Entertainment is the tracking stock issued by Liberty Media to mirror the performance of its interest in DIRECTV Group Inc. and Starz Entertainment LLC. Subsequently, Liberty Media announced that the split-off of Liberty Entertainment is being postponed due to adverse conditions in the stock and credit markets. Standard&Poor's
