Rumor: China Mobile to Take 40% Share of CMMB JV

CCID.com, 4/26/12

An industry source revealed today that China Mobile (NYSE: CHL; 0941.HK) and China Cenral Television (CCTV) had settled on a plan for the operator to acquire a stake in the China Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) and to cooperate with CCTV on integrating and operating the CMMB mobile broadcasting industry chain. The China Mobile-CCTV partnership will initially be a pure stock arrangement, but could lead to a joint venture in the future in which CBC would hold a 50% stake, with China Mobile and CCTV holding 40% and 10% stakes, respectively.
