Australia's competition regulator is likely to approve News
Corp.'s (NWS.AU) 1.97 billion Australian dollar (US$2.07 billion)
bid for media investment company Consolidated Media Holdings Ltd.
(CMJ.AU), The Australian Financial Review reported Wednesday,
citing unnamed sources.
The newspaper said the takeover bid would be approved given the
deal wouldn't substantially alter Australia's pay television
industry dynamics.
The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission is due to
release its review of the proposed deal Thursday.
A spokeswoman for the ACCC wasn't immediately available to
comment.
News Corp. owns Dow Jones Newswires and The Wall Street
Journal.
