Bulgaria’s Commission on Protection of Competition has approved the acquisition of News Corp’s assets in Bulgaria by Central European Media Enterprises.
In February, CME announced it had acquired Bulgarian free-to-air station bTV. CME will pay current owner News Corp US$400m (297m) for the commercial station. The deal also gives CME the bTV cable channels bTVÂs bTV Cinema and bTV Comedy and a majority share of the companyÂs radio interests.
