Exhibit 99.1


Unaudited Historical Attributed Financial Information for Tracking Stock Groups

        On March 3, 2008, Liberty Media Corporation ("Liberty") completed a reclassification of its Liberty Capital common stock whereby each share of Series A Liberty Capital common stock was reclassified as one share of the reclassified Series A Liberty Capital common stock and four shares of the new Series A Liberty Entertainment common stock, and each share of Series B Liberty Capital common stock was reclassified as one share of the reclassified Series B Liberty Capital common stock and four shares of the new Series B Liberty Entertainment common stock. The Liberty Entertainment common stock is intended to track and reflect the separate economic performance of the new Entertainment Group, which includes, among other things, Liberty's approximate 41% ownership interest in The DIRECTV Group, Inc. and its 100% ownership interests in Starz Entertainment Group, LLC, FUN Technologies, Inc. and certain regional sports television networks. The reclassified Liberty Capital common stock is intended to track and reflect the economic performance of the Capital Group, which includes, among other things, Liberty's wholly-owned subsidiaries Starz Media, LLC, Atlanta National League Baseball Club, Inc. and TruePosition, Inc.

        The following tables present the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows of Liberty and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 that have been attributed to the Interactive Group, the Entertainment Group and the Capital Group, respectively. The financial information should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 filed as Exhibit 99.3 to this Form 8-K. The attributed financial information presented in the tables has been prepared assuming the reclassification had been completed as of January 1, 2005.

        Notwithstanding the following attribution of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows to the Interactive Group, the Entertainment Group and the Capital Group, the reclassification does not affect the ownership or the respective legal title to such assets or responsibility for such liabilities. We and our subsidiaries each continue to be responsible for our respective liabilities. Holders of Liberty Interactive common stock, Liberty Entertainment common stock and Liberty Capital common stock are holders of Liberty common stock and continue to be subject to risks associated with an investment in our company and all of our businesses, assets and liabilities. The reclassification of our old Liberty Capital common stock into Liberty Entertainment common stock and Liberty Capital common stock does not affect the rights of our creditors.

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-based Payment" ("Statement 123R"). Statement 123R requires that we amortize the grant date fair value of our stock options and stock appreciation rights that qualify as equity awards as stock compensation expense over the vesting period of such awards. Statement 123R also requires that we record our liability awards at fair value each reporting period and that the change in fair value be reflected as stock compensation expense in our consolidated statements of operations. In connection with our adoption of Statement 123R, we recorded an $89 million transition adjustment, net of related income taxes. The transition adjustment is reflected in our consolidated statement of operations as the cumulative effect of accounting change. Stock-based compensation included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations information is as follows:
