few things on this. This is not a huge change in terms of who is making the
news, and I can’t see IRN turning into Fox news overnight. For one thing the
rules around bias and impartiality will apply, whilst they would not impact
on SRN/IRN if there were to be an issue, they are contractually required to
supply a compliant service to their clients (ie us). I seem to recall that
when this came round last time it was suggested that Sky news could be
placed in an independent arms-length trust to ensure that there was cross
contamination from the newspaper business. This may well come round again.
Of course, as IRN is effectively owned by the commercial radio companies,
although News Corp own around 4% via their ownership of Wireless Group. So,
in effect the owners could move the licence to whoever they want when it
comes up for renewal. </span></span><u class="gmail_msg"></u><u class="gmail_msg"></u></p>
