Liberty Media plans Starz spinoff

Liberty Media says it will spin off its Starz cable programming business.

The Englewood, Colo., media conglomerate also says its second quarter earnings climbed 75 percent to $156 million.

The Starz business had provided recently released movies and TV shows to Netflix for distribution over high-speed Internet connections.

Liberty Media says the spinoff of Starz will be tax-free for shareholders and will create significant liquidity.

Liberty says it has a 46 percent ownership stake in Sirius XM Radio and it has said it plans to keep buying common shares.
