Segment Reporting, Measurement Disclosures [Abstract]  
Schedule of Revenue and Adjusted OIBDA by Segment
The amounts presented below represent 100% of the revenue and Adjusted OIBDA of each of our reportable segments. As we have the ability to control certain subsidiaries that are not wholly-owned, we include 100% of the revenue and expenses of these entities in our condensed consolidated statements of operations despite the fact that third parties own significant interests in these entities. The noncontrolling owners’ interests in the operating results of (i) certain subsidiaries of (a) C&W and (b) Liberty Puerto Rico and (ii) Liberty Costa Rica are reflected in net earnings or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
