U.S. FCC to scrutinize News Corp-PrimeStar deal

WASHINGTON, June 11 (Reuter) - The decision by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp Ltd (NCP.AX) to team up with PrimeStar Partners to offer satellite television will get ``close scrutiny'' from the Federal Communications Commission, an FCC official said Wednesday.

``It is a major development in the market,'' Peter Cowhey, head of the FCC's international bureau, told Reuters. ``It will get close scrutiny.''

PrimeStar, a satellite-dish TV service owned by the biggest U.S. cable operators, said it would restructure into a public company that will include U.S. satellite assets from News Corp and MCI Communications Corp (MCIC).
