It seems our favourite Media mogul (moghul) wants to take over ITV PLC. I think it would be a very bad idea to allow News Corp, or Murdoch personally, control over one of the major British broadcasters.
He is known for the way he controls his media empire, giving favourable coverage to politicians and parties who he supports and be negative towards the rest. ITV, like the BBC, is an important part of the UK's broadcasting 'system' and to have it under the ownership, and full control, of Murdoch would end up costing the viewers a lot more.
If News-controlled-Sky merged with, or owned ITV then ITVSky would be more likely to result in pay per view on ITV channels, the films we currently watch for free would then only be available if we pay for the privilege and many people would be turned off by this.
