Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS	ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS Central European Media Enterprises Ltd., a Bermuda company limited by shares, is a media and entertainment company operating in Central and Eastern Europe. Our assets are held through a series of Dutch and Curaçao holding companies. We manage our business on a geographical basis, with six operating segments, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Romania, the Slovak Republic and Slovenia, which are also our reportable segments and our main operating countries. We have market leading broadcast operations in six countries in Central and Eastern Europe broadcasting a total of 34 television channels. Each country also develops and produces content for their television channels. We generate advertising revenues in our country operations primarily through entering into agreements with advertisers, advertising agencies and sponsors to place advertising on the television channels that we operate. We generate additional revenues by collecting fees from cable and direct-to-home (“DTH”) operators for carriage of our channels. Our main general entertainment television channels in each country are distributed on a free-to-air basis terrestrially, with the exception of Romania, and are also distributed via cable and satellite. Our other channels are generally distributed terrestrially or via cable and satellite. Unless otherwise indicated, we own 100% of our broadcast operating and license companies in each country. Bulgaria We operate one general entertainment channel, BTV, and five other channels, BTV CINEMA, BTV COMEDY, RING.BG, BTV ACTION and BTV LADY. We own 94.0% of CME Bulgaria B.V. ("CME Bulgaria"), the subsidiary that owns our Bulgaria operations. Croatia We operate one general entertainment channel, NOVA TV (Croatia), and three other channels, DOMA (Croatia), NOVA WORLD and MINI TV. Czech Republic We operate one general entertainment channel, TV NOVA (Czech Republic), and six other channels, NOVA CINEMA, NOVA SPORT 1, NOVA SPORT 2, FANDA, SMICHOV and TELKA. Romania We operate one general entertainment channel, PRO TV, and eight other channels, ACASA, ACASA GOLD, PRO CINEMA, SPORT.RO, MTV ROMANIA, PRO TV INTERNATIONAL, PRO TV CHISINAU, a general entertainment channel broadcasting in Moldova, and ACASA IN MOLDOVA.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	BASIS OF PRESENTATION The terms the “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our” are used in this Form 10-Q to refer collectively to the parent company, Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. (“CME Ltd.”), and the subsidiaries through which our various businesses are conducted. Unless otherwise noted, all statistical and financial information presented in this report has been converted into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates. All references to “US$”, “USD” or “dollars” are to U.S. dollars; all references to “BGN” are to Bulgarian leva; all references to “HRK” are to Croatian kuna; all references to “CZK” are to Czech koruna; all references to “RON” are to the New Romanian lei; and all references to “Euro” or “EUR” are to the European Union Euro. Interim Financial Statements The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Amounts as of December 31, 2014 included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 12, 2015. Our significant accounting policies have not changed since December 31, 2014 , except as noted below. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with US GAAP for complete financial statements. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our 2015 Convertible Notes mature on November 15, 2015. On July 2, 2015 we entered into a forward foreign exchange contract with a notional amount of US$ 261.0 million to reduce our exposure to USD to EUR exchange rate fluctuations prior to the maturity date of the 2015 Convertible Notes. On September 30, 2015, we entered into a EUR 235.3 million senior unsecured term credit facility (the "2019 Euro Term Loan") with BNP Paribas, as administrative agent, Time Warner, as guarantor, and the lenders party thereto. We intend to draw the 2019 Euro Term Loan in full to settle the forward foreign exchange contract and apply the proceeds toward the repayment and discharge of the 2015 Convertible Notes at maturity. Once the repayment of the 2015 Convertible Notes has been completed, we believe we will have adequate cash resources to continue operating as a going concern for the next twelve months. If, for circumstances beyond our control, we are unable to draw down on the 2019 Euro Term Loan, we will be unable to meet our repayment obligation when the 2015 Convertible Notes mature. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the resolution of these uncertainties. Basis of Consolidation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CME Ltd. and our subsidiaries, after the elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. Entities in which we hold less than a majority voting interest but over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for using the equity method. Other investments are accounted for using the cost method. Change in Presentation In the third quarter of 2015, we changed our presentation of certain non-operating income and expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Prior period comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Pronouncements Adopted On January 1, 2015, we adopted guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") in April 2014 (Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08), which changed the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. Subsequent to January 1, 2015 the disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations only if the disposal represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. In accordance with the adopted guidance, our operations classified as discontinued operations or held for sale prior to January 1, 2015, will continue to be accounted for under previous guidance. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Issued In May 2014, the FASB issued new guidance which is intended to improve the comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets. The guidance supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance and requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued guidance which defers the effective date of the new revenue standard for all entities by one year, which would extend the effective date to our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In November 2014, the FASB issued guidance which is intended to standardize the method used in the accounting for hybrid financial instruments issued in the form of a share. The guidance requires an entity to consider all relevant terms and features in evaluating the nature of the host contract in a hybrid financial instrument, including the embedded derivative feature being evaluated for bifurcation. The guidance is effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2016. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance which is intended to simplify the balance sheet presentation of debt issuance costs. The guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction of the carrying amount of that liability. The guidance is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted. When we adopt this guidance, our presentation of debt issuance costs in our condensed consolidated balance sheets will be affected, with no impact to our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income or condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale [Abstract]
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE	DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE Discontinued operations and assets held for sale prior to the adoption of FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity In the fourth quarter of 2013, we announced our intention to focus on our core television broadcast operations and commenced a process to divest certain non-core businesses. During 2014, we sold Bontonfilm, our theatrical and home video distribution business operating in the Czech Republic and Slovak Republic, and a component of our Czech Republic reporting unit; and Pro Video Romania and Pro Video Hungary, our home video distribution businesses operating in those countries, both of which were components of our Romania reporting unit. Additionally, in 2014 we classified our Romanian studios, cinema, music, radio and remaining distribution businesses as held for sale in our consolidated balance sheets and as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income and consolidated statements of cash flows. The impact of these events has been retroactively applied to all periods presented. During the first half of 2015, we sold our music, radio and remaining distribution business in Romania. In the fourth quarter of 2014, we committed to a plan to sell a surplus facility in Bulgaria. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recognized a loss of approximately US$ 3.3 million within non-operating expense, net to writedown the carrying value of the building and related land to fair value less costs to sell. Discontinued operations and assets held for sale subsequent to the adoption of FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity In the third quarter of 2015, we entered into an agreement to sell our Romanian studios along with its parent holding company on an as-is basis and completed the sale on October 16, 2015. As a result, we have classified the assets and liabilities of the parent holding company as held for sale in the current period. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, we recognized a loss of US$ 3.4 million within non-operating expense, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income to writedown the assets and liabilities of the parent holding company to fair value less costs to sell.

The equity component above represents the fair value ascribed to the Unit Warrants (as described in Note 14, "Equity" ). The fair value of the equity component is accounted for as a discount on the 2017 PIK Notes and is being amortized over the life of the 2017 PIK Notes using the effective interest method. (2) The principal amount presented represents the original principal amount of US$ 30.0 million plus interest paid in kind by adding such amount to the original principal amount. (3) The equity components of the 2017 Term Loan and 2017 Revolving Credit Facility represent the fair value ascribed to the Initial Warrants (as described in Note 14, "Equity" ) issued in consideration for these facilities based on their relative borrowing capacities. The fair value is accounted for as a discount on the 2017 Term Loan, which is being amortized over the life of the 2017 Term Loan using the effective interest method; and as debt issuance costs for the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility. Senior Debt Our senior debt comprised the following at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 : Carrying Amount Fair Value September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 2015 Convertible Notes $ 260,083 $ 251,669 $ 261,360 $ 260,922 2017 PIK Notes 318,336 265,629 519,687 476,957 2017 Term Loan 24,531 20,573 39,043 35,923 2017 Revolving Credit Facility — 25,000 — 25,000 2017 Euro Term Loan 280,972 304,496 280,972 304,496 $ 883,922 $ 867,367 $ 1,101,062 $ 1,103,298 Convertible Notes 2015 Convertible Notes As at September 30, 2015 , the principal amount of our 5.0% Senior Convertible Notes due 2015 (the “2015 Convertible Notes”) outstanding was US$ 261.0 million . The 2015 Convertible Notes mature on November 15, 2015. On September 30, 2015, we entered into the 2019 Euro Term Loan, which we intend to draw in full and apply the proceeds toward the repayment and discharge the 2015 Convertible Notes at maturity. Interest on the 2015 Convertible Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on each May 15 and November 15. The fair value of the liability component of the 2015 Convertible Notes as at September 30, 2015 of US$ 261.4 million (December 31, 2014: US$ 260.9 million ) was calculated by multiplying the outstanding debt by the traded market price. This measurement of estimated fair value uses Level 2 inputs as described in Note 12, "Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements" . The 2015 Convertible Notes are secured senior obligations and rank pari passu with all existing and future senior indebtedness and are effectively subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness of our subsidiaries. The amounts outstanding are jointly and severally guaranteed by Central European Media Enterprises N.V. (“CME NV”) and CME Media Enterprises B.V. ("CME BV") and are secured by a pledge of shares of those companies. The 2015 Convertible Notes are convertible based on an initial conversion rate of 20 shares of our Class A common stock per US$ 1,000 principal amount of 2015 Convertible Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of US$ 50.00 per share). The conversion rate is subject to adjustment if we make certain distributions to the holders of shares of our Class A common stock, undergo certain corporate transactions or a fundamental change, and in other circumstances specified in the 2015 Convertible Notes. In addition, the holders of the 2015 Convertible Notes have the right to put the 2015 Convertible Notes to us for cash equal to the aggregate principal amount of the 2015 Convertible Notes plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon following the occurrence of certain specified fundamental changes (including a change of control (which includes the acquisition by a person or group (as such term is defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) of beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of our Class A common stock), certain mergers, insolvency and a delisting). We separately account for the liability and equity components of the 2015 Convertible Notes. The embedded conversion option is not accounted for as a derivative. Principal Amount of Liability Component Unamortized Discount Net Carrying Amount Equity Component BALANCE December 31, 2014 $ 261,034 $ (9,365 ) $ 251,669 $ 11,907 Amortization of debt issuance discount — 8,414 8,414 — BALANCE September 30, 2015 $ 261,034 $ (951 ) $ 260,083 $ 11,907 The issuance discount is being amortized over the life of the 2015 Convertible Notes using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate on the liability component was 10.0% . Certain other derivative instruments have been identified as being embedded in the 2015 Convertible Notes, but as they are considered to be clearly and closely related to the 2015 Convertible Notes they are not accounted for separately. 2017 PIK Notes As at September 30, 2015 , the principal amount of the 15.0% Senior Secured Note due 2017 (the "2017 PIK Notes") outstanding was US$ 467.4 million . Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on each June 1 and December 1, which the Company must pay in kind on a semi-annual basis until November 15, 2015 by adding such accrued interest to the principal amount of the 2017 PIK Notes and thereafter may pay such accrued interest in cash or in kind. The 2017 PIK Notes mature on December 1, 2017. The fair value of the 2017 PIK Notes as at September 30, 2015 of US$ 519.7 million was calculated using comparable instruments that trade in active markets and, where available, actual trade history of the 2017 PIK Notes in a market that is not active. This measurement of estimated fair value uses Level 2 inputs as described in Note 12, "Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements" . The 2017 PIK Notes are senior secured obligations of CME Ltd., and are jointly and severally guaranteed by CME NV and CME BV and are secured by a pledge over 100% of the outstanding shares of each of CME NV and CME BV. Under the terms of the indenture governing the 2017 PIK Notes, we are largely restricted from raising debt at the corporate level or making certain payments or investments if the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense of CME Ltd. and its Restricted Subsidiaries (as each is defined in the indenture) is less than 2.0 times. The terms of the 2017 PIK Notes also contain limitations on our ability to incur guarantees, grant liens, enter into certain affiliate transactions, consolidate, merge or effect a corporate reconstruction, and make certain investments. In the event that (A) there is a change in control by which (i) any party other than certain of our present shareholders becomes the beneficial owner of more than 35% of our total voting power; (ii) we agree to sell substantially all of our operating assets; (iii) there is a specified change in the composition of a majority of our Board of Directors; or (iv) the adoption by our shareholders of a plan to liquidate; and (B) on the 60th day following any such change of control the rating of the 2017 PIK Notes is either withdrawn or downgraded from the rating in effect prior to the announcement of such change of control, we can be required to repurchase the 2017 Fixed Rate Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 2017 PIK Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. The 2017 PIK Notes are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof. Certain derivative instruments, including contingent event of default and change of control put options, have been identified as being embedded in the 2017 PIK Notes. The embedded derivatives are not considered clearly and closely related to the 2017 PIK Notes, and as such are required to be accounted for separately. The probability-weighted fair value of the embedded derivatives was not material at issuance or at September 30, 2015 . 2017 Term Loan As at September 30, 2015 , the principal amount outstanding of the 15.0% term loan facility due 2017 (the "2017 Term Loan") was US$ 35.5 million . The carrying value of the 2017 Term Loan is comprised of the original outstanding principal amount of US$ 30.0 million less an issuance discount, plus interest for which we paid in kind. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on each June 30 and December 31, which the Company may pay in cash or in kind. The Company has elected to pay interest in kind since the initial drawdown. The 2017 Term Loan matures on December 1, 2017. The fair value of the 2017 Term Loan as at September 30, 2015 of US$ 39.0 million was determined based on comparable instruments that trade in active markets. This measurement of estimated fair value uses Level 2 inputs as described in Note 12, "Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements" . The 2017 Term Loan is jointly and severally guaranteed by CME NV and CME BV and is secured by a pledge over 100% of the outstanding shares of each of CME NV and CME BV. The terms of the 2017 Term Loan contains limitations on our ability to incur indebtedness, incur guarantees, grant liens, pay dividends or make other distributions, enter into certain affiliate transactions, consolidate, merge or effect a corporate reconstruction, make certain investments acquisitions and loans, and conduct certain asset sales. The 2017 Term Loan also contains maintenance covenants in respect of interest cover, cash flow cover and total leverage ratios, and has more restrictive provisions, including covenants in respect of incurring indebtedness, the provision of guarantees, making investments and disposals, granting security and certain events of defaults, than corresponding provisions contained in the indenture governing the 2017 PIK Notes. Under the terms of the 2017 Term Loan, we are permitted to prepay the 2017 Term Loan in whole, but not in part, subject to the concurrent repayment and discharge of the 2017 PIK Notes. Certain derivative instruments, including contingent event of default and change of control put options, have been identified as being embedded in the 2017 Term Loan. The embedded derivatives are not considered clearly and closely related to the 2017 Term Loan, and as such are required to be accounted for separately. The probability-weighted fair value of the embedded derivatives was not material at issuance or at September 30, 2015 . 2017 Revolving Credit Facility Following a repayment in the amount of US$ 26.1 million in June 2015, we had no balance outstanding under a US$ 115.0 million revolving credit facility (the “2017 Revolving Credit Facility”), all of which was available to be drawn as at September 30, 2015 . The 2017 Revolving Credit Facility matures on December 1, 2017. The 2017 Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a rate per annum based on, at our option, an alternative base rate plus 8.0% or an amount equal to the greater of (i) an adjusted LIBO rate and (ii) 1.0% , plus, in each case, 9.0% , which the Company may pay in cash or in kind by adding such accrued interest to the applicable principal amount drawn under the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility. The 2017 Revolving Credit Facility is jointly and severally guaranteed by CME NV and CME BV and is secured by a pledge over 100% of the outstanding shares of each of CME NV and CME BV. The covenants and events of default are substantially the same as under the 2017 Term Loan. Amounts outstanding under the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility are immediately due and payable on the repayments in full of the 2017 PIK Notes and 2017 Term Loan. The 2017 Revolving Credit Facility permits prepayment at our option in whole or in part without penalty. 2017 Euro Term Loan As at September 30, 2015 , the principal amount of our floating rate senior unsecured term credit facility (the "2017 Euro Term Loan") outstanding was EUR 250.8 million (approximately US$ 281.0 million ). The 2017 Euro Term Loan bears interest at three-month EURIBOR (fixed pursuant to customary hedging arrangements (see Note 12, "Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements" )) plus a margin of between 1.07% and 1.90% depending on the credit rating of Time Warner, and is payable in cash quarterly in arrears on each March 12, June 12, September 12 and December 12. As at September 30, 2015 , the interest rate on amounts outstanding under the 2017 Euro Term Loan was 1.50% . The 2017 Euro Term Loan matures on November 1, 2017 and may be prepaid at our option, in whole or in part, from June 1, 2016, without premium or penalty. The fair value of the 2017 Euro Term Loan as at September 30, 2015 approximates its carrying value. This measurement of estimated fair value uses Level 2 inputs as described in Note 12, "Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements" . The 2017 Euro Term Loan is a senior unsecured obligation of CME Ltd., and is unconditionally guaranteed by Time Warner and certain of its subsidiaries. In connection with this guarantee, we entered into a reimbursement agreement (the “Reimbursement Agreement") with Time Warner which provides that we will reimburse Time Warner for any amounts paid by them under any guarantee or through any loan purchase right exercised by Time Warner. Additionally, the loan purchase right allows Time Warner to purchase any amount outstanding under the 2017 Euro Term Loan from the lenders following an event of default under the 2017 Euro Term Loan or the Reimbursement Agreement. The Reimbursement Agreement is jointly and severally guaranteed by CME NV and CME BV and is secured by a pledge over 100% of the outstanding shares of each of CME NV and CME BV. As consideration for the guarantee of the 2017 Euro Term Loan, we are paying a guarantee fee to Time Warner based on the amount outstanding on the 2017 Euro Term Loan calculated on a per annum basis equal to 8.5% minus the rate of interest paid by CME Ltd. under the 2017 Euro Term Loan (the “Guarantee Fee Rate”). The guarantee fee is payable semi-annually in arrears on each May 1 and November 1, which the Company may pay in cash or in kind (by adding such semi-annual guarantee fee to any such amount then outstanding). The Company has elected to pay the guarantee fee in kind to date. The guarantee fee paid in kind is presented as a component of other non-current liabilities (see Note 11, "Other Liabilities" ) and bears interest per annum at the Guarantee Fee Rate, payable semi-annually in arrears in cash or in kind (by adding such semi-annual guarantee fee to any such amount then outstanding) on each May 1 and November 1. The covenants and events of default under the Reimbursement Agreement are substantially the same as under the 2017 Term Loan and the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility. Certain derivative instruments, including contingent event of default and change of control put options, have been identified as being embedded in the 2017 Euro Term Loan. The embedded derivatives are considered clearly and closely related to the 2017 Euro Term Loan, and as such are not required to be accounted for separately. Other Credit Facilities and Capital Lease Obligations Other credit facilities and capital lease obligations comprised the following at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 : September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Credit facilities (a) – (c) $ — $ 3,100 Capital leases 3,665 3,632 Total credit facilities and capital leases 3,665 6,732 Less: current maturities (1,147 ) (1,190 ) Total non-current credit facilities and capital leases $ 2,518 $ 5,542 (a) We have a cash pooling arrangement with Bank Mendes Gans (“BMG”), a subsidiary of ING Bank N.V. (“ING”), which enables us to receive credit across the group in respect of cash balances which our subsidiaries deposit with BMG. Cash deposited by our subsidiaries with BMG is pledged as security against the drawings of other subsidiaries up to the amount deposited. As at September 30, 2015 , we had deposits of US$ 21.8 million in and no drawings on the BMG cash pool. Interest is earned on deposits at the relevant money market rate.

Under this facility up to CZK 825.0 million (approximately US$ 34.0 million ) may be factored on a recourse or non-recourse basis. The facility bears interest at one-month PRIBOR plus 2.5% for the period that receivables are factored and outstanding. (c) As at December 31, 2014, our operations in Romania had an aggregate principal amount of RON 12.5 million (approximately US$ 3.1 million , net of fair value adjustment arising on acquisition) of loans outstanding with the Central National al Cinematografei ("CNC"), a Romanian governmental organization which provides financing for qualifying filmmaking projects. As at September 30, 2015 these loans are classified as liabilities held for sale (see Note 3, "Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale" ).

The commitment fee is payable by November 1, 2019, the maturity date of the 2019 Euro Term Loan, or earlier if the repayment of the 2019 Euro Term Loan is accelerated. The commitment fee will bear interest at 8.5% per annum from the date that is five business days prior to the discharge of the 2015 Convertible Notes. Interest on the commitment fee is payable in arrears on each May 1 and November 1, beginning May 1, 2016 and may be paid in cash or in kind, at our election. (2) Represents the fee payable to Time Warner for Time Warner's guarantee of the 2017 Euro Term Loan. The guarantee fee is calculated as 8.5% less the interest rate per annum payable under the 2017 Euro Term Loan (fixed pursuant to the interest rate hedges entered into) (the "Guarantee Fee Rate") multiplied by the average outstanding principal of the 2017 Euro Term Loan. The guarantee fee is payable, in cash or in kind on a semi-annual basis in arrears on each May 1 and November 1. The Company has elected to pay the guarantee fee in kind to date. Amounts of the guarantee fee paid in kind bear interest at the Guarantee Fee Rate, which is payable, in cash or in kind, in arrears on each May 1 and November 1. (3) Represents interest on the 2017 PIK Notes and the 2017 Term Loan held by Time Warner, which the Company must pay in kind on a semi-annual basis in arrears by adding such accrued interest to the principal amount of the underlying instrument.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	9 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure”, establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to those valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are: Basis of Fair Value Measurement Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted instruments. Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. We evaluate the position of each financial instrument measured at fair value in the hierarchy individually based on the valuation methodology we apply. The carrying amount of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these items. The fair value of our Senior Debt (as defined therein) is included in Note 5, "Long-term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements" . Hedging Activities Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk In the fourth quarter of 2014, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements to mitigate our exposure to interest rate fluctuations on the outstanding principal amount of our 2017 Euro Term Loan. These interest rate swaps, designated as cash flow hedges, provide us with variable-rate cash receipts in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the lives of the agreements, with no exchange of the underlying notional amount. These instruments are carried at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets, and the effective portion of changes in the fair value is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income / loss and subsequently reclassified to interest expense when the hedged item affects earnings. The ineffective portion of changes in the fair value is recognized immediately in the change in fair value of derivatives in our consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , we did not recognize any charges related to hedge ineffectiveness. We value the interest rate swap agreements using a valuation model which calculates the fair value on the basis of the net present value of the estimated future cash flows. The most significant input used in the valuation model is the expected EURIBOR-based yield curve. These instruments were allocated to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because the critical inputs to this model, including current interest rates, relevant yield curves and the known contractual terms of the instruments, were readily observable. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss BALANCE December 31, 2014 $ (581 ) Loss on interest rate swaps (972 ) Reclassified to interest expense 376 BALANCE September 30, 2015 $ (1,177 ) The change in fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments comprised the following for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 : For the Three Months Ended September 30, For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Currency forward contracts $ (2,443 ) $ — $ (5,673 ) $ 2,311 Foreign Currency Risk On March 11, 2015, we entered into two forward foreign exchange contracts with aggregate notional amounts of approximately US$ 76.9 million to reduce our exposure to movements in the USD to EUR and USD to CZK exchange rates related to contractual payments under certain dollar-denominated agreements expected to be made during 2015. The forward foreign exchange contracts mature on December 21, 2015. As at September 30, 2015 , these forward foreign exchange contracts had aggregate notional amounts of US$ 19.7 million outstanding. On July 2, 2015 we entered into a forward exchange contract with a notional amount of US$ 261.0 million , to reduce our exposure to USD to EUR exchange rate fluctuations until the maturity date of the 2015 Convertible Notes, which we intend to refinance with the proceeds of the 2019 Euro Term Loan. These forward foreign exchange contracts are considered economic hedges but were not designated as hedging instruments, so changes in the fair value of the derivatives were recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income and in the condensed consolidated balance sheet in other current liabilities. We valued these contracts using an industry-standard pricing model which calculated the fair value on the basis of the net present value of the estimated future cash flows receivable or payable. These instruments were allocated to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because the critical inputs to this model, including foreign exchange forward rates and the known contractual terms of the instruments, were readily observable.

Temporary Equity Disclosure [Abstract]
CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK	CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED SHARES 200,000 shares of our Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value US$ 0.08 per share (the “Series B Preferred Shares”) were issued and outstanding as at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 . As at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the carrying value of the Series B Preferred Shares was US$ 236.7 million and US$ 223.9 million , respectively. The Series B Preferred Shares are held by Time Warner Media Holdings B.V. ("TW Investor"). The initial stated value of the Series B Preferred Shares of US$ 1,000 per share accretes at an annual rate of 7.5% , compounded quarterly, from and including June 25, 2013, the date of issuance, to but excluding the third anniversary of the date of issuance, and at an annual rate of 3.75% , compounded quarterly, from and including the third anniversary of the date of issuance to but excluding the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance. We have the right from June 25, 2016 to pay cash to the holder in lieu of any further accretion. From June 25, 2016, on the date that is 61 days after the earlier of (a) the date on which the ownership of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock by a group would not be greater than 49.9% of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock and (b) the date on which such beneficial ownership would not give to any person any right of redemption, repurchase or acceleration under any indenture or other document governing any of our indebtedness outstanding as of June 25, 2013, each Series B Preferred Share may, at the holder's option, be converted into the number of shares of our Class A common stock determined by dividing (i) the accreted stated value plus accrued but unpaid dividends, if any, in each case as of the conversion date, by (ii) the conversion price, which was approximately US$ 2.42 at September 30, 2015 , but is subject to adjustment from time to time pursuant to customary weighted-average anti-dilution provisions with respect to our issuances of equity or equity-linked securities at a price below the then-applicable conversion price (excluding any securities issued under our benefit plans at or above fair market value). We have the right to redeem the Series B Preferred Shares in whole or in part from June 25, 2016, upon 30 days ' written notice. The redemption price of each outstanding Series B Preferred Share is equal to its accreted stated value plus accrued but unpaid dividends, if any, in each case as of the redemption date specified in the redemption notice. After receipt of a redemption notice, each holder of Series B Preferred Shares will have the right to convert, prior to the date of redemption, all or part of such Series B Preferred Shares to be redeemed by us into shares of our Class A common stock in accordance with the terms of conversion described above. Holders of the Series B Preferred Shares will have no voting rights on any matter presented to holders of any class of our capital stock, with the exception that they may vote with holders of shares of our Class A common stock (i) with respect to a change of control event or (ii) as provided by our Bye-laws or applicable Bermuda law. Holders of Series B Preferred Shares will participate in any dividends declared or paid on our Class A common stock on an as-converted basis. The Series B Preferred Shares will rank pari passu with our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and senior to all other equity securities of the Company in respect of payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation. The Series B Preferred Shares have such other rights, powers and preferences as are set forth in the Certificate of Designation for the Series B Preferred Shares. We concluded that the Series B Preferred Shares were not considered a liability and that the embedded conversion feature in the Series B Preferred Shares was clearly and closely related to the host contract and therefore did not need to be bifurcated. The Series B Preferred Shares are required to be classified outside of permanent equity because such shares can be redeemed for cash in certain circumstances. These shares are not currently redeemable and thus have been recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet based on fair value at the time of issuance. We have determined that it is probable that the Series B Preferred Shares will become redeemable and thus have accreted changes in the redemption value since issuance. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , we recognized accretion on the Series B Preferred Shares of US$ 4.4 million and US$ 12.8 million ; and US$ 4.1 million and US$ 11.9 million respectively, with corresponding decreases in additional paid-in capital.

EQUITY	EQUITY Preferred Stock 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock were authorized at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 . One share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Share") was issued and outstanding as at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 . The Series A Preferred Share is convertible into 11,211,449 shares of Class A common stock on the date that is 61 days after the date on which the ownership of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock by a group that includes TW Investor and its affiliates would not be greater than 49.9% . The Series A Preferred Share is entitled to one vote per each share of Class A common stock into which it is convertible and has such other rights, powers and preferences, including potential adjustments to the number of shares of Class A common stock to be issued upon conversion, as are set forth in the Certificate of Designation for the Series A Preferred Share. 200,000 shares of Series B Preferred Shares were issued and outstanding as at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (see Note 13, "Convertible Redeemable Preferred Shares" ). Assuming conversion on June 25, 2016 and no further adjustments to the conversion price under the Certificate of Designations for the Series B Preferred Shares, TW Investor would be issued 103.1 million shares of Class A common stock upon conversion. Class A and Class B Common Stock 440,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and 15,000,000 shares of Class B common stock were authorized as at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 . The rights of the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical except for voting rights. The shares of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share and the shares of Class B common stock are entitled to ten votes per share. Shares of Class B common stock are convertible into shares of Class A common stock on a one -for- one basis for no additional consideration. Holders of each class of shares are entitled to receive dividends and upon liquidation or dissolution are entitled to receive all assets available for distribution to holders of our common stock. Under our bye-laws, the holders of each class have no preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to such shares. There were 135,802,274 and 135,335,258 shares of Class A common stock outstanding at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively, and no shares of Class B common stock outstanding at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 . As at September 30, 2015 , TW Investor owns 45.2% of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock and has a 49.4% voting interest in the Company due to its ownership of the Series A Preferred Share. Common Stock Warrants As at September 30, 2015 , warrants to purchase 114,000,000 shares of Class A common stock at an exercise price of US$ 1.00 per share, generally exercisable from May 2, 2016 to May 2, 2018, were outstanding. 100,926,996 (approximately 88.5% ) of these warrants are held by Time Warner and TW Investor. Time Warner also holds the right to exercise its warrants prior to May 2, 2016 at such times and in such amounts as would allow Time Warner to own up to 49.9% of the outstanding shares of the Class A common stock of the Company (including any shares attributed to it as part of a group under Section 12(d)(3) of the Exchange Act). We utilized a Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of each warrant.The Black-Scholes valuation model uses subjective assumptions of expected volatility, risk-free interest rates, the expected term of options granted, and expected rates of dividends. Changes in these assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair value. The Company determined the volatility assumption for these stock options using historical volatilities data from its traded Class A common stock. The expected term was estimated based on management's expectation of future exercises. The risk-free rate assumed in valuing the warrants was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the grant date based on the expected term. The Company assumed a dividend rate of zero based on historical experience and expected dividends to be issued over the expected term. This measurement of estimated fair value uses Level 3 inputs as described in Note 12, "Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements" . The warrants are classified in additional paid-in capital, a component of equity and are not subject to subsequent revaluation. The fair value of the warrants issued in the rights offering conducted by the Company in 2014 (the "Unit Warrants") is accounted for as a discount to the 2017 PIK Notes. The fair value of the warrants issued to Time Warner in certain related financing transactions (the "Initial Warrants") is accounted for as a discount on the 2017 Term Loan and as debt issuance costs for the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility (see Note 5, "Long-term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements" ). As at September 30, 2015 , warrants to purchase up to 850,000 shares of Class A common stock at a price of US$ 21.75 per share were also outstanding. These warrants expire on December 9, 2015.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION At the Company's annual general meeting held on June 1, 2015, our shareholders voted for the approval of the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2015 Plan"). Under the 2015 Plan, 6,000,000 shares have been authorized for grants of stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), restricted stock and stock appreciation rights to employees and non-employee directors. In addition, any shares available under the Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan (which expired on June 1, 2015), including in respect of any awards that expire, terminate or are forfeited, will be available for awards under the 2015 Plan. Under the 2015 Plan, awards are made to employees and to directors at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Any awards previously issued under the Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan will continue to be governed by the terms of that plan. The charge for stock-based compensation in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income was as follows: For the Three Months Ended September 30, For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Selling, general and administrative expenses $ 557 $ 409 $ 1,549 $ 990 Stock Options A summary of option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is presented below: Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price per Share Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value Outstanding at January 1, 2015 155,000 $ 29.88 0.92 $ — Granted 1,600,000 2.29 Forfeited (20,000 ) 23.12 Expired (69,000 ) 28.23 Outstanding at September 30, 2015 1,666,000 $ 3.53 9.32 $ — Vested and expected to vest 1,666,000 3.53 9.32 — Exercisable at September 30, 2015 66,000 $ 33.66 0.67 $ — The fair value of stock options is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and recognized ratably over the requisite service period. The aggregate intrinsic value (the difference between the stock price on the last day of trading of the third quarter of September 30, 2015 and the exercise prices multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) represents the total intrinsic value that would have been received by the option holders had they exercised all in-the-money options as at September 30, 2015 . This amount changes based on the fair value of our Class A common stock. As at September 30, 2015 , there was US$ 2.3 million unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.7 years . Restricted Stock Units Each RSU represents a right to receive one share of Class A common stock of the Company for each RSU that vests in accordance with the vesting schedule, generally between one to four years from the date of grant. Upon vesting, shares of Class A common stock are issued from authorized but unissued shares. Holders of RSU awards are not entitled to receive cash dividend equivalents and are not entitled to vote. The grant date fair value of RSUs is calculated as the closing price of shares of our Class A common stock on the date of grant. For certain awards with market conditions, the grant date fair value is calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The Monte Carlo simulation model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility of our common stock, interest rates, dividend yields and the correlation coefficient between our common stock and the relevant market index. The following table summarizes information about unvested RSUs as at September 30, 2015 : Number of Shares / Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Unvested at December 31, 2014 1,367,234 $ 3.06 Granted RSUs 1,661,430 2.56 Vested (465,136 ) 3.16 Forfeited (5,272 ) 3.71 Unvested at September 30, 2015 2,558,256 $ 2.72 As at September 30, 2015 , the intrinsic value of unvested RSUs was US$ 5.5 million . Total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSUs as at September 30, 2015 was US$ 3.9 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.9 years .

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
EARNINGS PER SHARE	EARNINGS PER SHARE We determined that the Series B Preferred Shares are a participating security, and accordingly, our basic and diluted net income / loss per share is calculated using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, basic net income / loss per common share is computed by dividing the net income available to common shareholders after deducting contractual amounts of accretion on our Series B Preferred Shares by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income / loss per share is computed by dividing the adjusted net income by the weighted-average number of dilutive shares outstanding during the period. The components of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows: For the Three Months Ended September 30, For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Loss from continuing operations $ (21,510 ) $ (51,308 ) $ (103,422 ) $ (133,660 ) Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests 253 344 817 1,130 Less: preferred dividend paid in kind (4,391 ) (4,077 ) (12,796 ) (11,880 ) Loss from continuing operations available to common shareholders, net of noncontrolling interest (25,648 ) (55,041 ) (115,401 ) (144,410 ) Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax (Note 3) (265 ) (1,174 ) (869 ) (19,961 ) Net loss attributable to CME Ltd. available to common shareholders - Basic $ (25,913 ) $ (56,215 ) $ (116,270 ) $ (164,371 ) Effect of dilutive securities Preferred dividend paid in kind — — — — Net loss attributable to CME Ltd. available to common shareholders - Diluted $ (25,913 ) $ (56,215 ) $ (116,270 ) $ (164,371 ) Weighted average outstanding shares of common stock - Basic (1) 147,054 146,610 146,803 146,477 Dilutive effect of employee stock options and RSUs — — — — Weighted average outstanding shares of common stock - Diluted 147,054 146,610 146,803 146,477 Net loss per share: Continuing operations attributable to CME Ltd. - Basic $ (0.17 ) $ (0.38 ) $ (0.79 ) $ (0.99 ) Continuing operations attributable to CME Ltd. - Diluted (0.17 ) (0.38 ) (0.79 ) (0.99 ) Discontinued operations attributable to CME Ltd. - Basic (0.01 ) (0.00 ) (0.00 ) (0.13 ) Discontinued operations attributable to CME Ltd. - Diluted (0.01 ) (0.00 ) (0.00 ) (0.13 ) Net loss attributable to CME Ltd. - Basic (0.18 ) (0.38 ) (0.79 ) (1.12 ) Net loss attributable to CME Ltd. - Diluted (0.18 ) (0.38 ) (0.79 ) (1.12 ) (1) For the purpose of computing basic earnings per share, the 11,211,449 shares of Class A common stock underlying the Series A Preferred Share are included in the weighted average outstanding shares of common stock - basic, primarily because the holder of the Series A Preferred Share is entitled to receive any dividends payable when dividends are declared by the Board of Directors with respect to any shares of common stock. At September 30, 2015 , 4,606,405 ( December 31, 2014 : 1,324,920 ) stock options, warrants and RSUs were antidilutive to income from continuing operations and excluded from the calculation of earnings per share. These may become dilutive in the future. Shares of Class A common stock potentially issuable under the 2015 Convertible Notes were antidilutive to net income at September 30, 2015 . Our Series B Preferred Shares were not considered for dilution as they are not convertible until June 25, 2016. As set forth in the Certificate of Designation for the Series B Preferred Shares, the holders of our Series B Preferred Shares are not contractually obligated to share in our losses.

SEGMENT DATA

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
SEGMENT DATA	SEGMENT DATA We manage our business on a geographical basis, with six operating segments: Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Romania, the Slovak Republic and Slovenia, which are also our reportable segments and our main operating countries. These segments reflect how CME Ltd.’s operating performance is evaluated by our chief operating decision makers, who we have identified as our co-Chief Executive Officers; how operations are managed by segment managers; and the structure of our internal financial reporting. Our segments generate revenues primarily from the sale of advertising and sponsorship on our channels. This is supplemented by revenues from cable and satellite television service providers to carry our channels on their platforms and from revenues through the sale of distribution rights to third parties. Intersegment revenues and profits have been eliminated in consolidation. We evaluate the performance of our segments based on net revenues and OIBDA. OIBDA, which includes amortization and impairment of program rights, is determined as operating income / loss before depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, impairments of assets and certain unusual or infrequent items that are not considered by our chief operating decision makers when evaluating our performance. Items that are not allocated to our segments for purposes of evaluating their performance and therefore are not included in their OIBDA, include stock-based compensation and certain other items. Our key performance measure of the efficiency of our segments is OIBDA margin. OIBDA margin is the ratio of OIBDA to net revenues. We believe OIBDA is useful to investors because it provides a more meaningful representation of our performance as it excludes certain items that either do not impact our cash flows or the operating results of our operations. OIBDA is also used as a component in determining management bonuses. OIBDA may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies. Below are tables showing our net revenues, OIBDA, total assets, capital expenditures and long-lived assets for our continuing operations by segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 for condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income data and condensed consolidated statements of cash flow data; and as at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 for condensed consolidated balance sheet data.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Commitments a) Programming Rights Agreements and Other Commitments At September 30, 2015 , we had total commitments of US$ $167.3 million ( December 31, 2014 : US$ 177.8 million ) in respect of future programming, including contracts signed with license periods starting after the balance sheet date. In addition, we have digital transmission obligations, future minimum operating lease payments for non-cancellable operating leases with remaining terms in excess of one year (net of amounts to be recharged to third parties) and other commitments as follows: Programming purchase obligations Other commitments Operating leases Capital expenditures 2015 $ 17,671 $ 6,832 $ 785 $ 2,275 2016 75,773 15,189 2,277 — 2017 36,937 4,774 1,563 — 2018 26,779 3,213 1,044 — 2019 9,875 10,410 785 — 2020 and thereafter 221 381 1,413 — Total $ 167,256 $ 40,799 $ 7,867 $ 2,275 b) Other Top Tone Holdings has exercised its right to acquire additional equity in CME Bulgaria, however the closing of this transaction has not yet occurred because the purchaser financing is still pending. If consummated, we would own 90.0% of our Bulgaria operations. Contingencies a) Litigation We are from time to time party to legal proceedings, arbitrations and regulatory proceedings arising in the normal course of our business operations, including the proceeding described below. We evaluate, on a quarterly basis, developments in such matters and provide accruals for such matters, as appropriate. In making such decisions, we consider the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and our ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of a loss. An unfavorable outcome in any such proceedings, if material, could have an adverse effect on our business or consolidated financial statements. Slovenian Competition Proceeding On April 24, 2013, the Competition Protection Agency of the Republic of Slovenia (“CPA”) adopted a decision finding that our wholly-owned subsidiary Produkcija Plus d.o.o. (“Pro Plus”) has abused a dominant position on the Slovenian television advertising market in breach of applicable competition law, by requiring exclusivity from its advertising customers and by applying loyalty discounts in favor of its customers. Pro Plus filed an appeal with the Slovenian Supreme Court on May 24, 2013. On December 3, 2013, the Slovenian Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the CPA. Subsequent to this affirmation, the CPA adopted a decision on July 21, 2014 to impose a fine of EUR 5.1 million . Pro Plus appealed the decision and the fine was overturned and the proceedings to impose a fine were terminated on November 3, 2014. The CPA filed an appeal to this ruling, which an appellate court refused on October 9, 2015, confirming the ruling of the lower court to terminate the fining proceedings. As a result, no fine will be imposed. b) Restrictions on dividends from Consolidated Subsidiaries and Unconsolidated Affiliates Corporate law in the Central and Eastern European countries in which we have operations stipulates generally that dividends may be declared by shareholders, out of yearly profits, subject to the maintenance of registered capital and required reserves after the recovery of accumulated losses. The reserve requirement restriction generally provides that before dividends may be distributed, a portion of annual net profits (typically 5.0% ) be allocated to a reserve, which reserve is capped at a proportion of the registered capital of a company (ranging from 5.0% to 25.0% ). The restricted net assets of our consolidated subsidiaries and equity in earnings of investments accounted for under the equity method together are less than 25.0% of consolidated net assets. c) Romanian Tax Audits Certain of our subsidiaries in Romania were subject to audits by the Romanian tax authorities. The audit of Pro TV covering the years 2009 to 2013 was concluded during the third quarter of 2015. Studiourile Media Pro SA ("MPS") and Media Pro Entertainment Romania SA ("MPE"), which we sold on an as-is basis on October 16, 2015, are being audited for the years 2010 to 2013 and 2009 to 2013, respectively. These audits are currently suspended in connection with investigations being conducted by the Romanian authorities there. The buyer has assumed all liabilities associated with the companies, including any potential assessments as a result of the tax audits. (See Part II, Item 1, “MPS and MPE Investigations”). The audits focused on a range of matters, including corporate income taxes, payroll tax liabilities and value added tax (“VAT”). In connection with these audits, we provided US$ 12.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 and an additional US$ 18.2 million in the first quarter of 2015 relating to the potential requalification of activities of certain persons engaged by Pro TV, MPS and MPE. On July 23, 2015, legislation was enacted in Romania which, among other things, annuls potential liabilities for payroll taxes, penalties and interest for the periods prior to July 1, 2015 that would have arisen as a result of the requalification of activities as dependent. During the third quarter of 2015, we released the reserves related to the Romanian tax audits.

Guarantees [Abstract]
GUARANTOR AND NON-GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION	GUARANTOR AND NON-GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION As discussed in Note 5, "Long-term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements" , our 100% owned subsidiaries, CME NV and CME BV (collectively, the "Guarantor Subsidiaries"), have agreed to fully and unconditionally, and jointly and severally, guarantee the 2017 PIK Notes (the “Guarantees”). The Guarantor Subsidiaries are subject to the requirements of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X regarding financial statements of guarantors and issuers of guaranteed securities registered or being registered with the SEC. Our remaining subsidiaries (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”) are presented separately from CME Ltd. (the “Parent Issuer”) and the Guarantor Subsidiaries in the condensed consolidating financial statements presented below. The Guarantees are senior obligations of the Guarantors and rank equal in right of payment with all of the Guarantor Subsidiaries’ existing and future senior indebtedness, including in respect of their guarantees of the 2015 Convertible Notes, the 2017 Term Loan and the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, the Guarantees rank senior in right of payment to any other existing and future obligations of the Guarantor Subsidiaries expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Guarantees. The Guarantees effectively rank junior to all of the future indebtedness and other liabilities of our Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, including with respect to their obligations in respect of the 2017 PIK Notes. CME Ltd. and the Guarantor Subsidiaries are holding companies with no revenue-generating operations and rely on the repayment of intercompany indebtedness and the declaration of dividends to receive distributions of cash from our operating subsidiaries and affiliates. There are no significant restrictions on CME Ltd.'s ability to obtain funds from the Guarantor Subsidiaries.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Interim Financial Statements	Interim Financial Statements The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Amounts as of December 31, 2014 included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 12, 2015. Our significant accounting policies have not changed since December 31, 2014 , except as noted below. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with US GAAP for complete financial statements. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our 2015 Convertible Notes mature on November 15, 2015. On July 2, 2015 we entered into a forward foreign exchange contract with a notional amount of US$ 261.0 million to reduce our exposure to USD to EUR exchange rate fluctuations prior to the maturity date of the 2015 Convertible Notes. On September 30, 2015, we entered into a EUR 235.3 million senior unsecured term credit facility (the "2019 Euro Term Loan") with BNP Paribas, as administrative agent, Time Warner, as guarantor, and the lenders party thereto. We intend to draw the 2019 Euro Term Loan in full to settle the forward foreign exchange contract and apply the proceeds toward the repayment and discharge of the 2015 Convertible Notes at maturity. Once the repayment of the 2015 Convertible Notes has been completed, we believe we will have adequate cash resources to continue operating as a going concern for the next twelve months. If, for circumstances beyond our control, we are unable to draw down on the 2019 Euro Term Loan, we will be unable to meet our repayment obligation when the 2015 Convertible Notes mature. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the resolution of these uncertainties.
Basis of Consolidation	Basis of Consolidation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CME Ltd. and our subsidiaries, after the elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. Entities in which we hold less than a majority voting interest but over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for using the equity method. Other investments are accounted for using the cost method.
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted	Accounting Pronouncements Adopted On January 1, 2015, we adopted guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") in April 2014 (Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08), which changed the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. Subsequent to January 1, 2015 the disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations only if the disposal represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. In accordance with the adopted guidance, our operations classified as discontinued operations or held for sale prior to January 1, 2015, will continue to be accounted for under previous guidance.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Issued	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Issued In May 2014, the FASB issued new guidance which is intended to improve the comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets. The guidance supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance and requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued guidance which defers the effective date of the new revenue standard for all entities by one year, which would extend the effective date to our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In November 2014, the FASB issued guidance which is intended to standardize the method used in the accounting for hybrid financial instruments issued in the form of a share. The guidance requires an entity to consider all relevant terms and features in evaluating the nature of the host contract in a hybrid financial instrument, including the embedded derivative feature being evaluated for bifurcation. The guidance is effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2016. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance which is intended to simplify the balance sheet presentation of debt issuance costs. The guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction of the carrying amount of that liability. The guidance is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted. When we adopt this guidance, our presentation of debt issuance costs in our condensed consolidated balance sheets will be affected, with no impact to our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income or condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAI31

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Policies)	9 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments Policy	ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure”, establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to those valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are: Basis of Fair Value Measurement Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted instruments. Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. We evaluate the position of each financial instrument measured at fair value in the hierarchy individually based on the valuation methodology we apply. The carrying amount of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these items. The fair value of our Senior Debt (as defined therein) is included in Note 5, "Long-term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements" . Hedging Activities Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk In the fourth quarter of 2014, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements to mitigate our exposure to interest rate fluctuations on the outstanding principal amount of our 2017 Euro Term Loan. These interest rate swaps, designated as cash flow hedges, provide us with variable-rate cash receipts in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the lives of the agreements, with no exchange of the underlying notional amount. These instruments are carried at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets, and the effective portion of changes in the fair value is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income / loss and subsequently reclassified to interest expense when the hedged item affects earnings. The ineffective portion of changes in the fair value is recognized immediately in the change in fair value of derivatives in our consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , we did not recognize any charges related to hedge ineffectiveness. We value the interest rate swap agreements using a valuation model which calculates the fair value on the basis of the net present value of the estimated future cash flows. The most significant input used in the valuation model is the expected EURIBOR-based yield curve. These instruments were allocated to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because the critical inputs to this model, including current interest rates, relevant yield curves and the known contractual terms of the instruments, were readily observable.

[1]	As at December 31, 2014, our operations in Romania had an aggregate principal amount of RON 12.5 million (approximately US$ 3.1 million, net of fair value adjustment arising on acquisition) of loans outstanding with the Central National al Cinematografei ("CNC"), a Romanian governmental organization which provides financing for qualifying filmmaking projects. As at September 30, 2015 these loans are classified as liabilities held for sale (see Note 3, "Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale").
[2]	As at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were no drawings outstanding under a CZK 825.0 million (approximately US$ 34.0 million) factoring framework agreement with Factoring Ceska Sporitelna (“FCS”). Under this facility up to CZK 825.0 million (approximately US$ 34.0 million) may be factored on a recourse or non-recourse basis. The facility bears interest at one-month PRIBOR plus 2.5% for the period that receivables are factored and outstanding.
[3]	We have a cash pooling arrangement with Bank Mendes Gans (“BMG”), a subsidiary of ING Bank N.V. (“ING”), which enables us to receive credit across the group in respect of cash balances which our subsidiaries deposit with BMG. Cash deposited by our subsidiaries with BMG is pledged as security against the drawings of other subsidiaries up to the amount deposited.As at September 30, 2015, we had deposits of US$ 21.8 million in and no drawings on the BMG cash pool. Interest is earned on deposits at the relevant money market rate. As at December 31, 2014, we had deposits of US$ 10.5 million in and no drawings on the BMG cash pool.
