MPs pressure Sky / ITV deal

MPs are finally starting to challenge Rupert Murdoch's strangehold over much of the UK media. A Guardian story reports that they are giving Trade and Industry secretary Alistair Darling pressure over doing something about Sky's acquisition of a stake in ITV:

John Grogan, the Labour MP behind the early day motion, said it would be "remarkable" if there were no inquiry following the Office of Fair Trading's finding earlier this month that Sky's move might have given it a "material influence" over ITV.

Let's see how things develop.
