Anyone old enough to remember what happened to British Satellite Broadcasting and Sky? Course you are! Two loss-making satellite TV broadcasters merged to become one successful broadcaster guided by Rupert Murdoch.

Could the newly single Rupert Murdoch be tempted to do something similar in the UK with a Talk TV and GB News merger? Both channels are loss-making and whilst GB News has more viewers, it's burning through it's three-year funding and is loss-making without a parent company.
