3 Reasons M. Night Shyamalan's 'Glass' Trailer Should Debut With 'Incredibles 2'

Comcast confirms £22 billion bid for Sky, sparking battle with Fox
LONDON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. media group Comcast (CMCSA.O) submitted a 22 billion pound bid for Sky (SKYB.L) on Wednesday, prompting the European pay TV group to drop its support for a lower offer from Rupert Murdoch's Twenty-First Century Fox (FOXA.O). Sky's independent directors welcomed Comcast's 12.50 pound per share bid and said they would now engage with both Comcast and Fox. The bid formalises an offer first made in February and puts pressure on Fox, which already has a 39-percent stake in Sky, to raise the 10.75 pound per share cash offer it first announced in December 2016.
