Fox-Sky deal faces new delay

LONDON — Britain postponed on Friday its regulatory review of 21st Century Fox’s proposal to take full control of the British satellite TV giant Sky until after the country’s general election in June.

The delay comes amid calls for British regulators to consider Fox’s handling of sexual harassment allegations, which this week led the company to dismiss anchor Bill O’Reilly.

The Office of Communications is reviewing the potential effects of a merger on media competitiveness.
