福克斯新闻收视惨淡，遭英国天空广播停播

Sky stops broadcasting Fox News in U

导读:由于收视率低下，21世纪福克斯决定停止在英国播放福克斯新闻，但是这一决定是否与21世纪福克斯收购天空广播控诉有关，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.

英国天空广播媒体公司称，由于福克斯新闻收视惨淡，将停播福克斯新闻。

21st Century Fox, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch, said the channel was being withdrawn as it was not commercially viable.

由鲁伯特·默多克拥有的21世纪福克斯称，该频道被取消是因为无法获得商业成功。

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

有消息告诉BBC，该决定和福克斯收购天空广播无关。

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

文化部长卡伦·布拉德利（Karen Bradley）曾经表示，她可能会将竞标交给竞争管理机构。

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

公司发言人称：“福克斯已经决定停止在英国资助福克斯新闻。”

"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.

“福克斯新闻关注美国市场，为美国观众设计，因此，它在英国每天平均观众只有几千人。”

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

她补充道：“我们得出结论，在英国继续提供福克斯新闻不符合我们的商业利益。”

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

周二下午四点，天空广播停止在英国播放美国电视网。

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，一名声称被福克斯新闻性骚扰的女性要求英国媒体监管当局阻止21世纪福克斯购买天空广播的计划。

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

该公司消息来源称，与福克斯新闻收购有关的抱怨不是电视网关闭的原因。

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.

消息称，福克斯新闻日均观众大约为2000人。在英国分送美国网的成本意味着继续播放不符合21世纪福克斯的商业利益。

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，广播电台观众研究委员会（Barb）的数据显示，福克斯新闻今年在英国的日均观看人数接近6万。

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世纪福克斯就已经出资117亿英镑拥有61%天空广播股权。

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.

针对为21世纪福克斯带来2200万欧洲观众的合并，批判声音称鲁伯特·默多克对英国媒体控制过多。
