Sky Hearing on Same Day as Fox Vote Complicates Comcast Bid

Sky Hearing on Same Day as Fox Vote Complicates Comcast Bid

Friday, July 27, is shaping up to be a big day in the battle between Comcast Corp. and Walt Disney Co. for control of most of Rupert Murdoch’s media empire -- on both sides of the Atlantic. In the U.S., 21st Century Fox Inc.’s shareholders are set to vote on Disney’s $71 billion bid for the company on that day. Coincidentally, U.K. officials are due to review the value of a key pawn in the three-dimensional game of M&A chess -- Fox’s 39 percent stake in British pay-TV company Sky Plc.
