英国文化大臣Lisa Nandy表示倾向于干预Sky公司以16亿英镑收购ITV的交易1。此举将触发英国传媒监管机构Ofcom和竞争市场局的正式调查1。
Nandy的干预决定基于多项公共利益考量，包括新闻媒体言论自由、观点多元性和媒体所有权多元性1。相关企业有5天时间对此做出回应1。Sky此次收购旨在创建一个能与Netflix、YouTube和亚马逊Prime Video竞争的英国国家流媒体平台1。
在处理媒体并购案上，Nandy曾在Channel 5案例中威胁干预但最终放行，条件是Channel 5作为公共服务广播商运营至2034年底1。
UK Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has indicated she is "minded to intervene" in Sky's proposed £1.6 billion acquisition of ITV, citing public interest concerns.1 The threatened intervention would trigger formal investigations by Ofcom and the Competition and Markets Authority.1
Sky's bid aims to establish a domestic streaming platform capable of competing with international rivals including Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon Prime Video.1 However, Nandy's decision reflects concerns over several factors: the protection of editorial independence and media plurality, the preservation of diverse viewpoints, and ensuring varied media ownership.1 Following the announcement, the companies involved have been given five days to respond.1
This is not Nandy's first regulatory intervention in major media transactions. In a previous case involving Paramount and Channel 5, she threatened to block the deal but ultimately allowed it to proceed, subject to the condition that Channel 5 operate as a public service broadcaster until the end of 2034.1
