Britain: ITV Rejects Branson-Backed Bid
ITV, Britain’s biggest commercial broadcaster, rebuffed a £4.73 billion ($8.98 billion) offer from the cable television operator NTL, saying the bid was too low and there was no advantage in a merger.

Financial Crisis May Sideline Part of Englands Soccer Tradition
It is a Saturday afternoon ritual across England. Crowds of people in their team colors and stripes swarm the streets of towns and cities, and they stream -- often with detours through pubs -- toward the stadiums where local soccer teams are playing. In past decades, the English game was sometimes better known for its riots in the stands than for its play on the field. But today it has become a hearty, family-friendly weekend outing that fills stadium seats with scarf-waving, chanting fans.. Many of Englands much-loved soccer teams face bankruptcy because ITV Digital says it cannot pay $260 million it promised English Football League this year for broadcasting its games; financial crisis does not affect top teams like Manchester United, which easily attract millions of television dollars; it does affect lower-division clubs, and focuses attention on their roles in their communities; many local soccer teams assist programs and projects that were once concerns of unions, business groups and crusading town newspapers; they have recreation programs for thousands of local youths (M)

Britain: BSkyB Buys Stake in ITV
BSkyB, the satellite television company affiliated with the News Corporation, has bought a 17.9 percent stake in ITV, Britain’s biggest commercial broadcaster, in a move that could thwart the ambitions of Richard Branson, the Virgin Group entrepreneur, to strengthen his position in the British media market. Mr. Branson had hoped to combine ITV with a cable company, NTL, in which he owns an 11 percent stake. The battle for ITV is rooted in a struggle for control of living rooms in Britain, which has one of the highest rates of digital TV and broadband Internet use in the world. BSkyB is the country’s biggest pay-TV operator, with more than eight million subscribers to its satellite system. NTL hoped to use the Virgin brand name and the ability to sell a “quadruple play” of television, broadband, fixed-line phone service and cellphone service to gain an edge on Sky.
