They couldn’t buy the FOX broadcast channels because they owned ABC. (Barred from owning two networks)
Murdoch wanted to keep FOX News (it was the part that wasn’t for sale)
They didn’t want/need FOX Sports because they already owned ESPN. (I don’t think they were barred from buying it, and I don’t think it was not for sale, they just weren’t interested?)
(Not disagreeing, just clarifying)
