- Lisa Nandy, UK Culture Minister, said she is "minded to intervene" in Sky's proposed $2 billion takeover of ITV, raising concerns over maintaining media plurality
- Nandy confirmed in a statement she may intervene if she has "reasonable grounds to suspect" the deal threatens media plurality, particularly with regard to news
Why it matters: If the UK government formally intervenes, Sky's $2 billion takeover of ITV could be blocked, delayed, or forced to divest news assets, directly affecting Sky's strategic expansion plans and ITV's ownership future.
