Advertiser

This page doesn't mention the Advertiser, (Adelaide) where it all started for Rupert!

Reincorporation

I don't think the reincorporation vote was unanimous, though it was sufficient for the resolution to pass. Bambul 11:15, 31 January (UTC)

MSNBC

I removed the following: "However, FNC's cable-news dominance has in recent years been challenged by the growth of MSNBC."

Seemed extremely dubious. According to the FNC page, "Fox News currently leads the cable news market, earning higher ratings than its chief competitors CNN and MSNBC combined by average viewership." Tajmahall 13:20, 18 November, 2005.

EXTREMELY dubious quoting Fox News about their own statistics.

MTM Enterprises

Deleted MTM Enterprises from News Corp holdings as it no longer exists. As explained on the MTM page on Wikipedia, the studio was folded into 20th Century Fox Television.

Sibelius Software?

I don't know of the connection between Sibelius software, if any. Anyways, I highly doubt that News Corp would own Sibelius Software at the present time as Sibelius Software is owned by Avid, which I'm pretty sure isn't owned by News Corp.

MySpace TV

News Corp recently launched MySpace TV. I have added a reference for the same in the 'Internet' section but it seems it is removed. Any specific reason for it? Can any one get more sources / references for this news announcement?
