EXHIBIT 99.1 [LOGO] LIBERTY MEDIA REPORTS RECORD SECOND QUARTER RESULTS QVC REPORTS 10% REVENUE GROWTH AND 17% OPERATING CASH FLOW GROWTH Englewood, Colorado - Liberty Media Corporation ("Liberty") reported strong results at both its Liberty Interactive Group and Liberty Capital Group. [LOGO] LIBERTY INTERACTIVE GROUP - Liberty Interactive Group's revenue increased 16% and operating cash flow(1) increased 19% due to the strong operating results at QVC and the addition of Provide Commerce which was acquired on February 9th. "We are pleased with the strong operating performance at Liberty Interactive, which was fueled by the continued excellent results at QVC," said Liberty Chairman John C. Malone. "We demonstrated our pleasure by repurchasing more than 19 million shares of stock in the quarter." QVC QVC's total revenue increased 10% to $1,630 million and operating cash flow increased 17% to $378 million. QVC's domestic revenue and operating cash flow increased 10% and 14%, respectively. The domestic revenue growth was attributed to increased sales to existing subscribers primarily in the areas of accessories and jewelry as the total number of units shipped during the quarter increased 8% and the average selling price increased 3%. QVC.com sales as a percentage of domestic sales grew from 18% in the second quarter of 2005 to 20% in 2006. The domestic operating cash flow margin primarily increased due to higher credit card income associated with the company's private label credit card and operating leverage. QVC's international revenue increased 10% to $490 million for the quarter due to greater sales to existing subscribers in Germany and Japan and new subscriber growth in each of our international markets partially - ------------------- 1. Please see page 8 of this press release for the definition of operating cash flow and a discussion of management's use of this performance measure. Schedule 1 to this press release provides a reconciliation of Liberty's consolidated segment operating cash flow for its operating segments to consolidated earnings from continuing operations before income taxes and minority interests. Schedule 2 to this press release provides a reconciliation of the operating cash flow for each privately held entity presented herein to that entity's operating income for the same period, as determined under GAAP. 1 offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates. Excluding the effect of exchange rates, international revenue increased 13%. The operating cash flow of the international operations increased from $76 million to $95 million, or 25%, due to the increased revenue, improved gross margins and operating leverage. International margins increased 2% to 39% due to a lower inventory obsolescence provision and a higher initial gross mark-on. Excluding the effect of exchange rates, QVC's international operating cash flow increased 27%. On July 26th, Liberty announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of BUYSEASONS, Inc., the operator of online costume retailer BuyCostumes.com. BuyCostumes.com will be attributed to Liberty Interactive and will enhance Liberty's web-based retailing strategy. During the second quarter, Liberty repurchased approximately 19.3 million shares of Liberty Interactive Series A common stock at an average cost per share of $17.66 for aggregate cash consideration of $341 million. At June 30, 2006, there were approximately 683.7 million outstanding shares of LINTA and LINTB and 19.6 million shares of LINTA and LINTB reserved for issuance pursuant to warrants and employee stock options. At June 30, 2006, there were 1.6 million options that had a strike price that was lower than the closing stock price. Exercise of these options would result in aggregate proceeds of approximately $23 million. QVC's outstanding bank debt was $1.2 billion at June 30, 2006; the increase of $400 million during the quarter was primarily due to funding repurchases of Liberty Interactive Series A common stock. OUTLOOK - Liberty expects the operations attributed to the Liberty Interactive Group, which includes QVC for all of 2006 and Provide Commerce from the date of its acquisition on February 9, 2006, to increase over the attributed 2005 operating results, which included only QVC's operations, as follows: o Revenue growth in the low double digits %. o Operating cash flow growth in low double digits %. o Operating income growth in low double digits %. The foregoing estimates assume with respect to QVC, among other factors, that its product mix and foreign currency exchange rates affecting its international businesses will be consistent as compared to 2005, while revenue growth rates will experience a slight slowing due to difficult comparisons to the favorable results achieved in 2005. These estimated growth rates are not expected to be achieved ratably on a quarterly basis as the Liberty Interactive Group's attributed businesses will likely experience different quarter over quarter growth rates for each calendar quarter of 2006. 2 The businesses and assets attributed to Liberty Interactive Group are engaged in, or are ownership interests in companies that are engaged in, sales of goods and services primarily through television programming and the Internet, and currently include its subsidiaries QVC and Provide Commerce and its approximate 20% interests in IAC/InterActiveCorp, Expedia and GSI Commerce. Liberty identified QVC, Inc., a consolidated, 98.9% owned subsidiary, as the principal operating segment of Liberty Interactive Group. [LOGO] LIBERTY CAPITAL GROUP - During the quarter, Liberty sold its 50% interest in Court TV for $735 million in cash and recorded a gain of $303 million. Also during the quarter, Liberty announced the acquisition of IDT Entertainment from IDT Corporation for all of Liberty's interests in IDT, $186 million in cash and the assumption of existing indebtedness. With this acquisition, Starz Entertainment will have the capability to create a wide array of CG animated and live action programming for domestic and international distribution in all major channels, including broadcast syndication, premium television, theatrical, and home video/DVD. "We continue to make progress on divesting non-core assets and reinvesting in our strategic businesses," said Liberty President and CEO Gregory B. Maffei. "We were also pleased with the operating and investment performance of News Corporation, our largest asset in Liberty Capital, during the quarter." STARZ ENTERTAINMENT GROUP Starz Entertainment Group ("Starz Entertainment") revenue increased 2% to $264 million and operating cash flow increased 6% to $50 million. The growth in revenue was primarily due to a $14 million increase resulting from an increase in the average number of subscription units for Starz Entertainment's services. Starz average subscription units increased 6% and Encore average subscription units increased 8%. The effect on revenue of these increases in subscription units was partially offset by an $8 million decrease due to a decrease in the effective rate charged for such services due to the fixed-rate affiliation agreements that Starz Entertainment has entered into in recent years. Starz Entertainment's operating expenses increased 1% for the quarter. The increase was due to higher programming costs, which increased 8% from $167 million to $180 million, partially offset by a decrease in SG&A expenses. The programming increases were primarily due to $16 million of additional amortization of deposits previously made under certain of Starz Entertainment's output arrangements. The decrease in 3 SG&A expenses was due to a $10 million decrease in sales and marketing due to the elimination of certain marketing support commitments under the new affiliation agreement with Comcast partially offset by marketing expenses related to the commercial launch of Vongo. Starz Entertainment expects that over the course of 2006, additional marketing expenses for Vongo and its traditional services will exceed the benefits derived from lower marketing support requirements for Comcast, and that its full-year 2006 sales and marketing expenses may exceed those of 2005. Operating cash flow increased due to increased revenue combined with a smaller increase in operating expenses. At June 30, 2006, there were approximately 140.5 million outstanding shares of LCAPA and LCAPB and 3.9 million shares of LCAPA and LCAPB reserved for issuance pursuant to warrants and employee stock options. At June 30, 2006, there were 1.2 million options that had a strike price that was lower than the closing stock price. Exercise of these options would result in aggregate proceeds of approximately $90 million. OUTLOOK - Liberty does not provide combined guidance for the businesses attributed to the Liberty Capital Group for 2006 as such information is not considered meaningful. Guidance is being provided separately for Starz Entertainment which is the largest operating business attributed to the Liberty Capital Group. STARZ ENTERTAINMENT GROUP o Liberty expects that revenue, OCF and operating income of Starz Entertainment for 2006 will be substantially similar to those recognized in 2005. The foregoing estimates are premised upon, among other factors, that Starz Entertainment continues to experience positive trends under its affiliation agreements, Starz Entertainment's distributors continue to see growth in digital subscribers consistent with that experienced in 2005, the quantity and timing of receipt of output product from the studios does not materially change from that experienced in 2005 and Starz subscription units continue to increase. These estimates further assume that Starz Entertainment's 2006 programming costs increase by mid-single digit percentages over the same periods in 2005. The businesses and assets attributed to Liberty Capital Group are all of Liberty Media's businesses and assets other than those attributed to Liberty Interactive Group and include its subsidiaries Starz Entertainment Group LLC, On Command Corporation, OpenTV Corp. and TruePosition, Inc., its equity affiliates GSN LLC and WildBlue Communications, Inc. and our interests in News Corporation, Time Warner, Inc. and Sprint Nextel Corporation. Liberty identified Starz Entertainment Group, a consolidated, wholly owned subsidiary, as its principal operating segment of Liberty Capital Group. 4 NOTES Liberty Media Corporation operates and owns interests in a broad range of video and on-line commerce, media, communications and entertainment businesses. Those interests are attributed to two tracking stock groups: Liberty Interactive Group and Liberty Capital Group.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES This press release includes a presentation of operating cash flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, for each of the privately held entities of Liberty included herein together with a reconciliation of that non-GAAP measure to the privately held entity's operating income, determined under GAAP. Liberty defines operating cash flow as revenue less cost of sales, operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses (excluding stock and other equity-based compensation). Operating cash flow, as defined by Liberty, excludes depreciation and amortization, stock and other equity-based compensation and restructuring and impairment charges that are included in the measurement of operating income pursuant to GAAP. Liberty believes operating cash flow is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its businesses, including the ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results and perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. Because operating cash flow is used as a measure of operating performance, Liberty views operating income as the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Operating cash flow is not meant to replace or supercede operating income or any other GAAP 8 measure, but rather to supplement such GAAP measures in order to present investors with the same information that Liberty's management considers in assessing the results of operations and performance of its assets. Please see the attached schedules for a reconciliation of consolidated segment operating cash flow to consolidated earnings from continuing operations before income taxes and minority interest (Schedule 1) and a reconciliation, for QVC and Starz Entertainment, of each identified entity's operating cash flow to its operating income calculated in accordance with GAAP (Schedule 2). SCHEDULE 1 The following table provides a reconciliation of consolidated segment operating cash flow to earnings from continuing operations before income taxes and minority interest for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively.
