In response to the rise of mm, News Corporation is seeking to wholly acquire Sky TV and strengthen its voice in TV.

Sky TV is the largest TV station in Britain and one of the largest pay TV stations in Europe. It is at the top of Europe with French TV four and German satellite TV one (DF1). Media tycoon Murdoch's News Corporation controls 39% of its shares. In 1998, Sky TV first created a 140 channel digital service in the UK, which has been expanded to more than 300 channels.

It is reported that news corporation has previously owned 39.1% of Sky TV. In addition, it is also the owner of the sun, the times, the Sunday Times and the news of the world.

The guardian group, the mirror group, the Daily Telegraph and BT are strongly opposed to the acquisition plan for fear of the dominance of one media.

However, the Murdoch family has great influence in Britain and has rich contacts in both political and business circles. Their lobbying team just persuaded the British government to agree to their acquisition plan.

According to the acquisition plan approved by Jeremy Hunt, British Minister of culture, Olympics, media and sports, Sky News will become an independent public television Co., Ltd. with an independent board of directors, and news corporation can only own 39.1% of its shares. This move aims to maintain the independence of Sky News in news reporting, At the same time, it is also to eliminate the doubts and dissatisfaction of the outside world about the acquisition. In fact, this is a change of soup rather than medicine. They just change the name of the holding company.

Murdoch has been slandering Sky TV's payment business for a long time. For Sky TV, it is determined to win. As a media group, it also controls a large number of shares. They have installed a large number of people in the TV station and have actually controlled the company. The acquisition is a natural thing. Unexpectedly, the sudden eavesdropping scandal has aroused great resentment among the people, There are voices of opposition between the government and the public. Today, News Corporation is unprepared and in chaos. The fat meat will fly away.

At present, News Corporation has covered all media fields, and 40% of British newspapers are controlled by him; 23 newspapers in Australia are controlled by it. 40% of American TV stations are under its control; In China, 35 million families can watch Murdoch's TV programs via satellite.

In an exclusive interview published by the British observer on the 16th, as the leader of the opposition party, Miliband identified Murdoch as "having too much influence on British public life", called on the government and the public to reach an agreement on Revising the media ownership regulations, and urged the split of News Corporation to reduce Murdoch's share in the British media market. Murdoch's newspapers and periodicals account for 40% of the British newspaper market, Its branches hold some shares of Sky TV. Miliband believes that this phenomenon is "morbid" and that "the high concentration of power in one person is bound to lead to his abuse of power within the organization". He believes that the existing laws and regulations on media ownership are outdated, do not involve mass digital media and satellite TV, and "do not apply to the digital age".

A number of senior members of the Liberal Democratic Party called on regulators on the 17th to investigate whether Murdoch is suspected of "excessive intervention" in Sky TV's decision-making and whether it is "appropriate" for him to hold Sky TV's shares.

Simon Hughes, deputy leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, Tim * *, chairman of the party, and don foster, spokesman for cultural affairs, jointly wrote to the British Telecommunications Bureau, the regulator of radio, television and wireless communications, urging an investigation into whether News International's holding 39% of Sky TV's shares had a "substantial and strong impact" on the reporting policy. In the letter, the three said that in view of the public's "high attention" to the behavior of International News Corporation, the close relationship between International News Corporation and its parent company News Corporation, and News Corporation's "effective control" over sky TV, it is suggested that BT take measures to determine whether it is "appropriate" for International News Corporation to continue to hold Sky TV.

A spokeswoman of the Telecommunications Bureau confirmed that the agency received a joint letter on the evening of the 15th and plans to reply next week. According to her, the telecommunications bureau is collecting information, "we have written to many institutions and will hold a meeting after confirmation".

Murdoch intended to turn Sky TV into the most dazzling pearl in the crown of his media empire, but this acquisition was opposed by many parties in the UK. Opponents believe that if a media group that concocted the eavesdropping scandal owns four mainstream newspapers in the UK and the second largest broadcasting company in the UK at the same time, whether it is for other British media Politicians and financial giants are great threats. Throwing a "eavesdropping bomb" to bomb the news of the world is a key move of the "anti silent alliance", because this issue directly points to the boundary of media power and the bottom line of professional ethics, which is also the foundation of the media industry.

If its reputation in this regard is shaken, the huge News Corporation will become a building built on the beach and will soon fall down. Now it's obviously working. At present, News Corporation has really become the target of thousands of people in the UK. Not only other media continue to criticize the Murdoch empire as an unhealthy media force, but even politicians have come forward to ask News Corporation to give up its complete acquisition of Sky TV. Therefore, News Corporation has suffered a decline in its share price and the evaporation of its market value. In the face of public anger, Murdoch can only go around.

In order to deal with the crisis and calm the public's anger, old fox Murdoch decided to stop buying Sky TV and sell his equity, which led to a sharp drop in the TV station's share price.

This is a retreat strategy. When he announced the news, he said hello to mark and other colleagues. Don't come to dismantle Lao Tzu's platform.

The sale of Sky TV by the British government is a foregone conclusion. Only a few large consortia can eat it, but only a few major media companies can operate it well and smoothly, and many are interested in it, such as Comcast and bertamans. Mm, who holds a huge sum of money, is also one of the potential buyers. With a cost of more than 20 billion, it will own one of the three major TV stations in Europe, This will make their global TV network more powerful, but this tiger's mouth grabs food is tantamount to forming a deadly enemy with Murdoch, so mark will give up his involvement in Sky TV. In return, Murdoch agreed to redeem Marvel's film and television adaptation right of the dead man.

This is a happy ending. As for the X-Men series and the magic four series, they will never return them until fox is broken. That's something you don't have to think about.

Only now does not reflect the value of the "dead waiter" and so on will be willing to return.

In the original version, Murdoch is a man of thousands of calculations, and the Sky TV station has not fallen into his clutches, because the British government, public and people have too deep prejudice against him. His strength in this place is so strong that many people are afraid of him, so Sky TV falls into the hands of its old rival Comcast, The negative impact of this eavesdropping scandal on News Corporation is too great.

Mm is mainly engaged in film and television entertainment, including Columbia, MGM, marvel, Pixar, Naifei, mm TV network and mm cinema. News Corporation also has film and television business. 20th Century Fox and fox are famous in the industry, but their core business is news communication. They are the real old media group, In Britain, it's very difficult for anyone to be elected without their support. The eavesdropping scandal was so tragic that the British fought back against him. Almost all the media encircled and suppressed them. It's not a small matter. Medor and his son went to put out the fire.

The imperial expansion route of the Murdoch family started in Australia, bought a number of British newspapers, entered Britain, and finally entered the United States, the core of world power. They bought 20th Century Fox and founded Fox television network. They have no comparable company in satellite television and news business. In the United States, they are devoted to supporting the elephant party, Why not find the right one? No, no matter who comes on stage, they must throw a piece of fat to them, otherwise they will not have a comfortable life, which shows their great influence.

Mm can only be counted at the door of power, and they have entered the house. When it comes to wealth, gates and Ellison are far above him, but when it comes to the impact on the country's political life, Murdoch is far above them. Why does Larry try his best to support Megan and David to enter the media industry? As a technology company, I earn a lot of money, but my influence is always limited.

The Murdoch family started with newspaper media and is one of the most influential families on the planet. Everyone knows the advantages of newspapers, television and other media, but not every consortium and family can successfully operate. The Murdoch family is the leader, which is also the most competitive industry. The competition among peers is extremely fierce, That's why News Corporation has a eavesdropping scandal. This is to get news and do everything in competition. In fact, in order to get ahead, who doesn't do so? It's just that they were caught. It's just unlucky.

It is also because they are too strong and attract people's jealousy. When the wall falls, people push. Everyone wants to see their jokes. They can even push and step on them, which makes them embarrassed now.

However, mm has received benefits. There are many places where the two sides cooperate, so they don't step on them. They still pull them in some places. Anyway, the eavesdropping is the British. Now the British are not the world leader for a long time, and no one has bird them for a long time.

Mark, they know that this industry is dirty, and their competitors are too strong, so they have always focused on film and television entertainment. For example, in terms of news and information, they focus on cooperation with other media, and their influence will decline.

At this stage and even for a long time, mm focuses on film and television entertainment. News only focuses on the Internet. Backward and doomed products such as newspapers and news are no longer engaged. Anyway, they don't have any large newspapers and newspapers, and they don't have any burden, so they can go to battle lightly.
