DIGITAL ALLIANCE - IS IT OFF?
- Will Murdoch be a new player?
mcr Güthersloh. Bertelsmann is preparing for a No from the European Commission
to it's alliance with the Kirch-Group in digital television. Executive Mark
Wössner told reportes, he assumes that the EU will say no to the alliance.
Heart of the matter is the merger of the Pay-TV-services premiere and DF-1.
Wössner accused the head of the European Commission Karel van Miert of
pursuing a backward-faced industrial politic. Rumors have it, that Kirch seeks
now an alliance with Rupert Murdoch.

off: Frasier - about radio-shrink Dr. Frasier Crane. Then it's of the WWII-
