February 21, 2002Wake-Up Call: All aboard the Phil Anschutz express
Seconds after Scripps-Howard suddenly announced that the Rocky Mountain News was for sale last Thursday, hopeful eyes were turning to Phil Anschutz, the local billionaire who's already saved another local institution -- the Ski Train that has taken generations of skiers from Union Station to Winter Park, the city-owned resort. And unlike other Coloradans with big wallets, he actually has some experience in the newspaper business. But hopes (and my suggestion on Colorado In
December 9, 2008UFO zealot thinks extraterrestrials can save the Rocky Mountain News
Jeff Peckman (pictured) is best known as the man who fought to put a measure on the November ballot to create an Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission in Denver. (Refresh your memory by reading Jason Sheehan's June profile of Peckman here.) In the end, this bold mission proved impossible. But Peckman remains committed to the notion that we're not alone in the universe, and as the new UFO scribe for Phil Anschutz's Examiner.com enterprise, he's got a regular platform from which to espouse his theor

Westword's December feature article about the Rocky Mountain News being put up for sale by E.W. Scripps featured a comment by Jim Monaghan, a spokesman for Denver gazillionaire Phil Anschutz, who's in the newspaper game by dint of his assorted Examiner properties. After Monaghan told reporters that his boss wasn't interested in purchasing the paper, Rocky staffer Jeff Smith quoted a press observer from the Pew Research Center saying that such a denial would be expected if Anschutz was actually

March 27, 2003Wake-Up Call: The bell tolls for Joe Nacchio
Yesterday, with the news that the San Francisco Chronicle may go down, leaving the free Examiner the only real daily in SF, Phil Anschutz once again looked like the smartest guy in the room.Today, he's also looking like the luckiest. Because before Anschutz bought the dying Examiner label and turned it into a free daily, he was buying up railroads, using the tracks for fiber optic lines, which made Qwest possible. And then in 1997, Anschutz hired Joe Nacchio to run that company.Now an appeals co

Charlie Ergen. Forbes magazine's annual billionaires list is out, and as the Denver Business Journal documents, Colorado's most-moneyed residents are walking around with lighter wallets since September 2008, the last time the mag measured their wealth. Poor Phil Anschutz is down to his last $5 billion, from $8 billion; James Leprino's dipped from $2.3 billion to $2 billion; John Malone's net worth plunged from $2.3 billion to $1.5 billion; and Pat Stryker's lost one-third of the $1.8 billion sh

Here's a video of the Ski Train leaving Denver for the last time on Friday, May 8. The description says this was "filmed at Utah Jct, moving onto the Belt Main," which is apparently near 56th and Pecos. The train had been making trips between Denver and Winter Park since 1940. The operation was owned by local billionaire Phil Anschutz. But due to the economy and the uncertainty of the Union Station redevelopment, Anschutz Co. recently sold the Ski Train operation to a subsidiary of the Can
May 13, 2009Is Phil Anschutz more conservative than Rupert Murdoch?
Phil Anschutz. When the Rocky Mountain News was put up for sale last December, speculation immediately turned to potential buyers -- and the first name on everyone's lips was Phil Anschutz. After all, the publicity shy gazillionaire is Denver-based and had already demonstrated an interest in newspapering via his investment in assorted physical and virtual Examiner products keyed to markets across the country. Moreover, his fundamental conservatism, exemplified by his Walden Media filmmaking win

The June 22 edition of the Weekly Standard. Phil Anschutz's slice of the Broomfield Event Center hardly represents his only recent investment. Last week, word surfaced that the Denver gazillionaire was negotiating to purchase The Weekly Standard from Rupert Murdoch, who may have decided that the right-wing bible had grown too conservative even for him. Now, the deal is done, making Anschutz the proprietor of magazine that regards the Obama administration as an affront to all that is true and pr
June 18, 2009How much will Michael Jackson's death cost Phil Anschutz?
A lot of people stand to make a lot of money from Michael Jackson's death -- record labels, iTunes, memorabilia manufacturers and more. But don't count Phil Anschutz among their number. The Denver-based billionaire is among the sharpest businessmen ever to call Colorado home, yet he's all but guaranteed to take a very unpleasant bath on Jackson's fifty-date "This Is It" European tour, which was slated to get underway on July 13. (The "This Is It" website is now a cyber-memorial.) Back in March

June 29, 2009Forbes dubs Phil Anschutz a "stealth media mogul"
Phil Anschutz. In recent days, Denver billionaire Phil Anschutz has been in the news due to his aborted promotion of a fifty-date Michael Jackson tour -- a reversal that could cost a fortune (although, frankly, Anchutz can afford to take the loss). But Forbes is taking notice of the moneybags for his media investments, many of which puzzle outside observers. "The Stealth Media Mogul" notes that The Weekly Standard, a conservative publication he recently purchased from Rupert Murdoch, is losing

A report posted on the U.K.-based Cheapflights website notes that so many Brits are flying to L.A. for Jackson's memorial service today that they've had to make stops at airports outside Southern California en route.

Michael Bennet.Even as Andrew Romanoff readies for a 2010 run for the U.S. Senate, Michael Bennet, the Bill Ritter appointee he'll be challenging, is upping his public profile. Hence, an appearance yesterday on KHOW for an extended conversation with host Craig Silverman and fill-in yakker Dan Haley, the editorial page editor of the Denver Post and fearless Broncos prognosticator. Naturally, the topic of healthcare reform was front and center, and Bennet, like so many other members of his

As noted by CQ Politics, they include national GOP powerhouses like John McCain, Mitch McConnell, Jon Kyl, Kay Bailey Hutch
October 21, 2009Report: Phil Anschutz has already recouped all losses from canceled Michael Jackson tour
"This Is It" -- another opportunity for Phil Anschutz to make bank.In a June blog," I described Mile High gazillionaire Phil Anschutz as "among the sharpest businessmen to ever call Colorado home" -- and he's proven it again by the way he's turned a possible financial bath into what looks like an impressive windfall. AEG Live, one of Anschutz's many companies, was slated to promote the Michael Jackson tour that never was -- and because the firm had been unable to secure insurance for all
October 26, 2009Phil Anschutz's profits on Michael Jackson's This Is It film: Ka-ching!
The planet still loves little Michael.Denver mega-buckser Phil Anschutz has reportedly recouped his entire investment in the late Michael Jackson's aborted "This Is It" tour (after seeming on the verge of multi-million-dollar losses) thanks to the sale of rehearsal footage that makes up the just-released This Is It film. Now all that's left is to watch the moolah roll in -- a process that's already started. The flick racked up $7.4 million in the U.S. on Wednesday, when it opened at theat

"Who is Phil Anschutz?," credited to a writer who goes by CJist, looks askance at a number of Anschutz's conservative association

As a result, I had no idea that the trophy for winning the Major League Soccer crown was named after none other than Denver's own gazillionaire, Phil Anschutz, a conservative fellow who might not be all that comfortable with th
