If what they're saying is true, the brown stuff has hit a fan the size of a wind turbine.

Weren't there rumblings of this ITV card hacking thing a few years ago? I'm sure that some rumours surfaced in the news then everything went quiet.

Exactly Maggy and l think people are now realising what a insidious nefarious type of empire we are dealing with here with the Murdoch clan.

Sky won't be going anywhere - but Murdoch's status as a 'fit and proper' holder of a UK broadcasting licence might be ...

If the things alleged in the Panorama programme are true (I personally think they probably are, but OFCOM may require hard evidence). However, it is a little odd that when Canal + attempted to take it to court, the Murdochs bought the company and broke it up rather than fighting in court..

Let`s hope we are now seeing the end of Murdoch`s empire once and for all. One thing is sure Murdoch must not be allowed to get away with this. He should be FORCED to sell sky tv and pay substantial damages to I.T.V. I certainly feel less comfortable as a sky subscriber now and will consider my options between now and August when my minium term is up.
