PROFILE |
 |
Rupert Murdoch wants to have his Sky Global Networks and DIRECTV, too. The satellite broadcasting businesses of Murdoch's News Corp. media conglomerate, Sky Global Networks includes British Sky Broadcasting (BSkyB), Asia's STAR TV, and operations in Latin America, totaling some 85 million household subscribers. Murdoch wants to take Sky Global Networks public but he hopes to first purchase Hughes Electronics, the General Motors unit that owns DIRECTV. If closed, the deal would create a satellite superstar with Microsoft and Liberty Media's John Malone as likely investors. Sky Global Networks also owns 21.5% of Gemstar-TV Guide International.
