CBS paying at least $162 million cash for Australia's Ten Network

CBS will pay at least A$201.1 million ($162 million) in cash to buy Australian broadcaster Ten Network Holdings, according to documents released on Monday by Ten's administrator.

CBS, the United States' most-watched television network, said it agreed to buy Ten last month, but neither party disclosed a price tag at the time. The beleaguered broadcaster was placed in administration in June.

Administrator KordaMentha released the financial details of the transaction after a rival bidder challenged the deal in court last week, alleging creditors had not been provided enough information about the competing offers by KordaMentha.
