...From a regulatory perspective, in the bid's favor is that CMH doesn't fully own anything. Rather, it's a holding company for a cluster of minority stakes, including 25% of pay-TV operator Foxtel, 50% of Fox Sports and 25% of PBL Media, the private-equity vehicle that owns Australia's free-to-air Nine Network. This mixed bag of holdings leads Chenoweth to suspect that Murdoch and Packer are planning "a second transaction that they haven't yet disclosed" - a deal that would turn piecemeal investments into controlling stakes...

Then last month PBL, the Ford Foundation's $12.5 million experiment in public-interest television, began its second year on an encouragingly upbeat note (TIME, Dec. 6). Birth and Death, PBL's cinéma vérité documentary on natural childbirth and death by cancer, won critical acclaim, and the staff was jubilant.
