---------- BSkyB Unbundles Disney Channel From Packages
(source and copyright: UK Satellite Control)
 British Sky Broadcasting agreed to stop bundling the Disney Channel
with its subscription movie channels, a move that came after pressure
from regulators. The Independent Television Commission had investigated
the matter after Videotron, a British cable operator receiving Sky
programming, complained that its viewers were required to purchase two
BSkyB movie channels before they could get the Disney Channel. Beginning
today, the Disney Channel will be available to British cable operators
on a stand-alone basis, the commission said. Meanwhile, BSkyB stock got
a boost after it was added to NatWest Securities' list of 15 preferred
stocks on Monday.
