Re: Petition to try and block Murdoch taking over Sky & it's channels.

According to the first article on The Media Show yesterday, Ofcom has a regulatory duty to ensure that those holding a broadcasting licence are "fit and proper" to do so.

As this is an ongoing duty, this won't be looked at when/if they first gain control!

They will, however, want to ensure that neutrality is in place and maintained from day one:
