Murdoch’s threat to axe Sky News dismissed as ‘bluff’
by Felicity Collier
MEDIA baron Rupert Murdoch’s threat to axe Sky News if his £11.7 billion bid to take over Sky is blocked is a “bluff,” media campaigners said yesterday.
In a submission to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), Sky said the watchdog should not assume “the continued provision” of the TV news channel.
The broadcaster said it would be further pressed to act if shareholders reacted badly to a block on the merger.
