Time Warner rejection of quick brown Fox sparks conflagration

Article Abstract:

Turner Broadcasting, which has recently merged with Time Warner, is taking a tough stand against Rupert Murdoch, whose Fox News 24-hour cable service is seeking to establish a presence in New York. Time Warner Cable had promised Murdoch that it would find space on its system for Fox News, but it has now stated that it will carry MSNBC, launched in summer 1996 by Microsoft and NBC, instead. Murdoch has responded by filing a suit against Time Warner, claiming that it has been guilty of anti-trust conspiracy.

Wall Street cashes in on merger mania

Article Abstract:

Wall Street traders experienced very difficult conditions in 1994, but there are signs that they may return to a modest profit in 1995. Interest rates have been more favourable, and there has been strong investment in US mutual funds. Traders have also benefited from the very high level of merger and acquisition activity.
