Well not really. Maybe two seperate companies legally but we know who's in control.
Yeah, News Corporation got split in two. News Corp has the Sun and Times, 21st Century Fox has Sky News. The media plurality problem has already been dealt with.

Not necessarily, the investigations will look at the underlying major shareholders in both companies when checking plurality. If they weren't being checked, the DCMS Sec wouldn't have ruled as she did yesterday.

No. There's now no point in reviewing media plurality or advertising segment penetration' unless you are prepared to include Google into scope. Trust the British Government to skirt around this one.
I wonder if the outcome of the further investigation would find out that Murdoch can't own News Corp or Fox because owning many news services would be too much.

Because of the power that his companies exert and the takeovers that they've engineered. In addition the restrictions placed on the BBC and PSBs in respect of own production make the use of third parties inevitable.

And simply becuase the BBC is always going to commision the best programmes.
Channel and Sky News ownership is a different issue.

A merger between ITN and Sky News has been discussed in the past, so it could still happen.
The talks at the time ended because of BSkyB's purchase of a stake in ITV. If it had gone through, it would have effectively been a takeover of ITN by BSkyB. If it happened this time, it would probably be the other way around.
