On December 22, 2003 News Corporation finalised a $US6billion bid to take a controlling stake in [[Hughes Electronics ]] and its US pay TV operation, [[DirecTV]]. "Now, with the addition of DirecTV, Murdoch has the last piece in a global distribution system that is unparalleled - and he will be rolling out a swag of new channels to run on that system. If you are a content company like [[Viacom]], [[Disney ]] or [[Time Warner]], at some point in the future you will depend upon Murdoch to run your programs around the world," Chenoweth wrote.
