EU charges Sky, U.S. film studios with restricting pay-TV access

BRUSSELS, July 23 (Reuters) - The European Commission said on Thursday that it had charged Sky UK and six major U.S. film studios with limiting access across the European Union to pay-TV services.

The six major U.S. film studios are Disney, NBCUniversal, a subsidiary of Comcast Corp, Paramount Pictures, a subsidiary of Viacom (NasdaqGS: VIAB - news) , Sony (Hanover: SON1.HA - news) , Twentieth First Century Fox and Warner Brothers. (Reporting By Philip Blenkinsop)
