Rupert Murdoch tries again and relaunches the assault on Time Warner, after the film group last week he had said no to the maxi offer of 80 billion dollars. Apparently now the Australian tycoon would also be willing to sacrifice Sky Italia and Sky Deutschland as well.
In fact, according to Bloomberg, which cites sources familiar with the situation, 21st Century Fox, the film studio giant controlled by Murdoch's News Corporation, has upped the ante and to raise the resources necessary to increase the proposal, it would have decided to put Sky up for sale. Italy and Sky Deutschland.
21st Century Fox would be in talks with British Sky Broadcasting (of which it owns 39%) to place 100% of Sky Italia and 57% of Sky Deutschland. The two assets should have a value of approximately 13,5 billion dollars (10 billion euros).
