Murdoch's Sky bid faces in-depth competition probe

Rupert Murdoch's £11.7bn (€13bn) bid to take full control of Sky through 21st Century Fox will be referred to the UK competition watchdog for an in-depth probe, British Culture Secretary Karen Bradley has confirmed.

Earlier this week, Ms Bradley told British MPs she was likely to refer the deal to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) for a full blown investigation centred on broadcasting standards and media plurality grounds.
