News Corporation's bid for BSkyB faces probe
Quote:
The Business Secretary, Vince Cable, has ordered Ofcom to investigate News Corporation's plan to take full control of broadcaster BSkyB.

News Corporation has said it wants to buy the 61% of BSkyB it does not own.

The inquiry will look into "media plurality" - the degree to which news outlets are concentrated under one organisation's ownership.
It will be interesting to see the outcome of this considering a lot of people see this lib-con pact as Murdock Friendly.

Some people think News Corp own Sky entirely anyway, much like the same sort of people think Richard Branson owns 100% of Virginmedia
