		</div><p>Rupert Murdoch&#8217;s 21st Century Fox has decided to pull right-wing Fox News from UK airwaves.</p>
<p>The decision comes amid a UK government review of the US company&#8217;s planned £11.7bn takeover of the Sky, which could potentially face an in-depth investigation on competition concerns. A spokeswoman for 21st Century Fox (21CF) said: &#8220;21CF has decided to cease providing a feed of Fox News Channel in the UK.</p>
<p>&#8220;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. &#8220;We have concluded that it is not in our commercial interest to continue providing Fox News in the UK.&#8221;</p>
<p>The US-focused channel &#8211; which was taken off air at 4pm on Tuesday &#8211; had around 2,000 daily viewers, while its broadcasting agreement with Sky was set to expire by year-end. It is understood that a growing number of complaints had been lodged against Fox News in the UK, particularly in the wake of 21CF&#8217;s bid for Sky.</p>
<p>Mr Murdoch&#8217;s media business is hoping to acquire the 61% of Sky it does not already own, raising concerns that this would mean handing the tycoon&#8217;s family increased influence of the UK news agenda.</p>
