Competition Watchdog Rules On BSkyB
The Competition Commission has provisionally found against BSkyB over its 17.9% share purchase of ITV.

"As a pay-TV operator, BSkyB faces competition from the free-to-air TV offer, of which ITV is an important part," said CC chairman Peter Freeman.

Re: Competition Watchdog Rules On BSkyB
I was reading about this earlier and I can't say I am surprised by the provisional virdict against Sky. From the outside looking in it appears that Sky only brought into ITV to stop them possibly tying up with Virgin Media.
