Rupert Murdoch's 21st Century Fox Inc. yesterday stopped broadcasting Fox News in the United Kingdom.
The move comes amid the media conglomerate's $15 billion bid to buy out British pay-TV giant Sky PLC.
"Fox News is focused on the U.S. market and designed for a U.S. audience and, accordingly, it averages only a few thousand viewers across the day in the U.K.," a spokesman said. "We have concluded that it is not in our commercial interest to continue providing Fox News in the U.K."
