Sky shares fall as doubts raised over £11.7bn Fox bid

A report that Rupert Murdoch held talks about selling film and television assets to Walt Disney added another layer of uncertainty to his £11.7bn (€13.3bn) bid to buy all of broadcaster Sky.

Disney recently discussed buying 21st Century Fox’s movie and TV production studio studios, cable networks FX and National Geographic and international assets such as the Star network in India and its stake in Sky, CNBC said.

The talks were not currently ongoing, the broadcaster said.
