The Guardian reports on a number of papers, from both sides of the political spectrum, writing to Vince Cable about vetoing a take over of BskyB by News Corp. They say the take over would damage UKs media plurality if the £8bn take over took place.
"The letter, signed by Murdoch MacLennan, chief executive of Telegraph Media Group, Sly Bailey, chief executive of Trinity Mirror, owner of the Daily Mirror, and Andrew Miller, chief executive of Guardian Media Group, was sent to Cable today. The signatories argue against a combined Murdoch multimedia empire that would have a turnover of £7.5bn compared with the BBC's £4.8bn.

It sounds like Channel Five is having enough problems for talks of a take over/merge with another channel. The article states that both Channel 4 and ITV have talked with RTL about possible take overs. This could mean that ITV would get a boost for its production side after a take over, which it had already made a few programming cuts with the Bill.

Powerful independent producer Talkback Thames is part of RTL-owned Fremantle, a global network. Is it up for grabs? Talkback makes many of ITV's biggest shows: Britain's Got Talent, The X Factor, although not The Bill for much longer."-The GuardianIt sounds like Channel Five is having enough problems for talks of a take over/merge... more
