Ofcom to Take Further Look at Fox/Sky

The U.K. Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) asked Ofcom for a new review of Fox's proposed buy of Sky. The DCMS said in an update Tuesday that the July announcement it was leaning toward referring Fox/Sky for further investigation (see 1707200001) prompted comments that raised new evidence or commented on Ofcom's assessment. DCMS said it set an Aug. 25 deadline for Ofcom to report on those new points. Fox didn't comment.
