Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
As of December 31, 2022, our board of directors had authorized us to repurchase an aggregate of $18.0 billion of our common stock and have not establish an end date for this stock repurchase program. Shares of common stock may be purchased from time to time on the open market, pursuant to pre-set trading plans meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, in privately negotiated transactions, including transactions with Liberty Media and its affiliates, or otherwise. As of December 31, 2022, our cumulative repurchases since December 2012 under our stock repurchase program totaled 3.7 billion shares for approximately $16.6 billion, and approximately $1.4 billion remained available under our existing $18.0 billion stock repurchase program. The size and timing of our repurchases will be based on a number of factors, including price and business and market conditions.

COMPARISON OF CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
Set forth below is a graph comparing the cumulative performance of our common stock with the Standard & Poor's Composite-500 Stock Index, or the S&P 500, the NASDAQ Telecommunications Index, the published industry index we previously used for the purposes of the SEC rules, and the S&P 500 Media & Entertainment Index, the new published industry index we have selected to use, from December 31, 2017 to December 31, 2022. The graph assumes that $100 was invested on December 31, 2017 in each of our common stock, the S&P 500, the NASDAQ Telecommunications Index and the S&P 500 Media & Entertainment Index .
In November 2016, we paid our first quarterly dividend. Our board of directors expects to declare regular quarterly dividends.
