Sun Valley Moguls Shift Focus to Media Models
By Brett Pulley - Jul 4, 2011 10:01 PM MT
Media executives gather at Allen & Co.’s Sun Valley conference this week looking to shed assets such as the Hulu LLC video website and G4 game channel amid a declining global stock market and slowing economic growth.
Rupert Murdoch and executives from Hulu’s owners will join Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg among about 300 participants scheduled to arrive today for the weeklong annual conference in Idaho organized by the investment bank.

Since 1983, the Sun Valley Conference has been sponsored by the media investment-banking boutique Allen & Co. It is called a “summer camp for moguls,” as the heads of industry ride around the resort on bicycles, go fishing, hiking and white-water rafting. Many of them bring their families, and the guest list usually includes a few celebrities, from politics, sports or entertainment. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and the actress Candice Bergen are on this year’s list.
