January 2017 - found it for my satisfaction but maybe others are interested also....I need to see if I can find what he was talking about on Wednesday....

“”As the clock approached 11 a.m. Monday, the newest News 95.5 and AM 750 weekday host Eric Von Haessler was chill, laughing and joking with his cast of characters, making mental notes on the topics they were going to address.

He’d been preparing for this moment for a good while. For the past two years, he’s been doing a three-hour Sunday show waiting for an opening on weekdays. Now his boss Pete Spriggs found that opening, wedging Von Haessler in for an hour a day at 11 a.m., trimming Herman Cain to two hours.””

Here’s the story about FOX and Sky News....

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/09/business/dealbook/fox-news-troubles-heighten-scrutiny-of-rupert-murdochs-planned-purchase.html?_r=0

“”Yet after the sexual harassment scandal at Fox News that led to the ouster of Roger Ailes, its chairman, and the revelation of several settlements involving Bill O’Reilly and allegations of inappropriate behavior, Mr. Murdoch and 21st Century Fox now face renewed scrutiny over their plans to buy the 61 percent stake in Sky that they do not own.””

“”On Friday, European officials gave their blessing to the deal, which is worth 11.2 billion pounds, or $13.9 billion. But the battle will come to a head when a British regulator rules next month on whether the proposed deal gives Mr. Murdoch, who already controls several national newspapers, too much clout over the British media landscape.””
