Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Schedule of Performance Measures of our Reportable Segments
The amounts presented in the tables below represent 100% of each of our consolidated and nonconsolidated reportable segment’s revenue, expenses and Adjusted EBITDA, despite only holding a 50% noncontrolling interest in both the VMO2 JV and the VodafoneZiggo JV. We account for our 50% interests in both the VMO2 JV and the VodafoneZiggo JV under the equity method; accordingly, our share of their operating results is included in share of results of affiliates, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The noncontrolling interests at Telenet and Formula E are reflected in net earnings or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
