A monopoly is a monopoly whatever the size of the channel.

Besides which this thread really is about the phone hacking scandal which now seems to be proven against more than NI and News Corp and is spreading to the other press organisations.

yest but Sky would still have to compete with Channel 4 and ITV/STV/UTV along with the BBC if they did buy Channel 5!

The Daily Mail's editor was aware the paper was using private detectives but not of the extent to which it was doing so, the Leveson Inquiry has heard.
Quote:
Defending a Mail story reporting the birth of Mr Grant's baby, he said a newspaper was entitled to ask a celebrity such as Grant if he had had a child, especially when he had spoken previously of his desire to be a father.
"Mr Grant has spent his life invading his own privacy," he said. "It seems a little bit ripe that when he does have a child, he and his press representatives won't confirm or deny that."
What complete and utter BS..and what a total slime ball. I found myself shouting at this particular specimen as he gave evidence.:mad:

Police believe 829 people were "likely" victims of phone-hacking by newspapers, the Leveson Inquiry has heard.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Sue Akers confirmed to the inquiry that 581 of those had been contacted.
However, 231 could not be identified, and 17 had not been told due to "operational reasons".
She is overseeing three investigations involving claims of newspaper hacking. Ninety police staff are involved in Operation Weeting.
Apparently they have 4 terabytes of data to deal with so far.

The Editor of the Daily Mail was once a member of the Press Complaints Commission until 2008!

Comedian Steve Coogan and former footballer Paul Gascoigne are among various high-profile people to have settled their phone hacking cases against the News of the World today.

The High Court heard this morning that the Alan Partridge star and ex-England player have reached deals with News Group Newspapers, the publisher of the now defunct paper. In total, 15 claims have been settled today involving 19 people.

These include former Labour spin doctor Alastair Campbell, Simon Hughes MP and football agent Phil Hughes, along with singer Pete Doherty, jockey Kieran Fallon, football agent Sky Andrew, former MP George Galloway and Sheila Henry, the mother of 7/7 victim Christian Small
