福克斯新聞收視慘淡，遭英國天空廣播停播

Sky stops broadcasting Fox News in U

導讀:由於收視率低下，21世紀福克斯決定停止在英國播放福克斯新聞，但是這一決定是否與21世紀福克斯收購天空廣播控訴有關，仍然不得而知。

Sky is to stop broadcasting Fox News in the UK after low audience figures, the media firm has said.

英國天空廣播媒體公司稱，由於福克斯新聞收視慘淡，將停播福克斯新聞。

21st Century Fox, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch, said the channel was being withdrawn as it was not commercially viable.

由魯伯特·默多克擁有的21世紀福克斯稱，該頻道被取消是因為無法獲得商業成功。

The decision was not related to Fox’s takeover bid for Sky, a source told the BBC.

有消息告訴BBC，該決定和福克斯收購天空廣播無關。

Culture secretary Karen Bradley has previously said she may refer the bid to competition regulators.

文化部長卡倫·布拉德利（Karen Bradley）曾經表示，她可能會將競標交給競爭管理機構。

"[Fox] has decided to cease providing a feed of Fox News Channel in the UK," a company spokeswoman said.

公司發言人稱：“福克斯已經決定停止在英國資助福克斯新聞。”

"Fox News is focused on the US market and designed for a US audience and, accordingly, it averages only a few thousand viewers across the day in the UK.

“福克斯新聞關注美國市場，為美國觀眾設計，因此，它在英國每天平均觀眾隻有幾千人。”

"We have concluded that it is not in our commercial interest to continue providing Fox News in the UK," she added.

她補充道：“我們得出結論，在英國繼續提供福克斯新聞不符合我們的商業利益。”

Sky stopped broadcasting the US television network in the UK from 4pm on Tuesday.

周二下午四點，天空廣播停止在英國播放美國電視網。

In May, a woman who alleged that she had been sexually harassed at Fox News asked UK media regulators to block 21st Century Fox’s planned purchase of Sky.

今年五月，一名聲稱被福克斯新聞性騷擾的女性要求英國媒體監管當局阻止21世紀福克斯購買天空廣播的計劃。

The company source said complaints against Fox News in relation to the takeover bid were not the reason for the TV network being dropped.

該公司消息來源稱，與福克斯新聞收購有關的抱怨不是電視網關閉的原因。

The source said that Fox News had about 2,000 average daily viewers. The costs of distributing the US network in the UK meant it was not in 21st Century Fox’s commercial interests to continue, the source added.

消息稱，福克斯新聞日均觀眾大約為2000人。在英國分送美國網的成本意味著繼續播放不符合21世紀福克斯的商業利益。

However, figures from the Broadcaster’s Audience Research Board (Barb) suggest that Fox News’ average UK daily viewing figures were nearly 60,000 per day this year.

然而，廣播電台觀眾研究委員會（Barb）的數據顯示，福克斯新聞今年在英國的日均觀看人數接近6萬。

Back in December, 21st Century Fox offered ?11.7bn for the 61% stake in Sky it does not already own.

早在12月，21世紀福克斯就已經出資117億英鎊擁有61%天空廣播股權。

Critics of the merger, which gives 21st Century Fox access to Sky’s 22 million customers in Europe, say Rupert Murdoch will have too much control of the UK media.

針對為21世紀福克斯帶來2200萬歐洲觀眾的合並，批判聲音稱魯伯特·默多克對英國媒體控製過多。
