Equity [Abstract]
EQUITY	EQUITY Preferred Stock 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock were authorized as at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. None were issued and outstanding as at December 31, 2011. On June 27, 2012, we exercised our option under the Equity Commitment Agreement to sell shares of the Company to TW Investor. That transaction subsequently settled on July 3, 2012, at which point we issued 874,819 shares of our Class A common stock and one share of Series A convertible preferred stock of the Company, par value US$ 0.08 per share (the “Preferred Share”), at a price per share of Class A common stock (including those underlying the Preferred Share) of US$ 7.51, to TW Investor for aggregate consideration of approximately US$ 90.8 million. The consideration was utilized to repay the remaining loan outstanding under the TW Credit Agreement. The difference between the fair value of the consideration, calculated based on the closing share price of our Class A shares of common stock on the date of extinguishment, and the outstanding principal amount of the TW Loan was offset by the derivative asset related to the Option Shares (see Note 12, "Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements"). The Preferred Share, which is convertible into 11,211,449 shares of Class A common stock, was issued pursuant to the Equity Commitment Agreement, which provides that if the issuance of shares of Class A common stock to TW Investor upon the exercise of the Company Option, when aggregated with the outstanding shares of Class A common stock of any group (as such term is defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) that includes TW Investor and its affiliates would have resulted in TW Investor beneficially owning more than 49.9% of the outstanding number of shares of Class A common stock, the Company agreed to issue to TW Investor the Preferred Share, which is convertible into the number of shares of Class A common stock that TW Investor was not able to acquire because of this limitation. The Preferred Share is automatically convertible into shares of Class A common stock on the date that is 61 days after the date on which the ownership of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock by a group that includes TW Investor would not be greater than 49.9%, which is expected to occur following the termination of the Irrevocable Voting Deed and Corporate Representative Appointment among TW Investor, RSL Savannah, LLC, Ronald S. Lauder and the Company, dated May 18, 2009 (the "Voting Agreement"). The Preferred Share is entitled to one vote per each share of Class A common stock into which it is convertible and has such other rights, powers and preferences, including potential adjustments to the number of Class A common stock to be issued, as are set forth in the Certificate of Designation of the Preferred Share. As a result of these investments, TW Investor owns 42.6% of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock and has a 49.9% economic interest in the Company. The shares issued to TW Investor are subject to the Voting Agreement, which terminates on May 18, 2013. Class A and B Common Stock 200,000,000 and 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock were authorized as at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and 15,000,000 shares of Class B common stock were authorized as at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The rights of the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical except for voting rights. The shares of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share and the shares of Class B common stock are entitled to ten votes per share. Shares of Class B common stock are convertible into shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis for no additional consideration. Holders of each class of shares are entitled to receive dividends and upon liquidation or dissolution are entitled to receive all assets available for distribution to shareholders. Under our bye-laws, the holders of each class have no preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to such shares. On June 15, 2012, we issued 2,000,000 shares of Class A common stock to RSL Capital LLC and 9,901,260 shares of Class A common stock to TW Investor, each at a price of US$ 7.51 per share, for aggregate proceeds to the Company of US$ 89.4 million. The proceeds of these share subscriptions were applied to the outstanding TW Loans (see Note 5, "Long-Term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements"). As discussed above, we issued additional shares of Class A common stock to TW Investor on July 3, 2012. Also on June 15, 2012, Time Warner and Ronald Lauder converted their shares of Class B common stock into an equivalent number of shares of Class A common stock for no additional consideration. Following this conversion, there are no shares of Class B common stock outstanding. There were 77.2 million shares of Class A common stock outstanding at December 31, 2012. Warrants to purchase up to 600,000 and 250,000 shares of Class A common stock for a six-year period terminating December 2015 at a price of US$ 21.75 per share, are held by Alerria Management Company S.A. and Metrodome B.V., respectively, each of which is controlled by Adrian Sarbu, our President and Chief Executive Officer and a member of our Board of Directors. On May 24, 2010, we issued 800,000 shares of our Class A common stock in connection with our acquisition of the remaining ownership interests of approximately 5.0% in each of Pro TV, MPI and MV from Adrian Sarbu (see Note 3, “Acquisitions and Dispositions”).
