The U.K.'s Competition and Markets Authority said Wednesday that
it will investigate whether BT Group PLC's sports joint venture
with Warner Bros. Discovery may result in a substantial lessening
of competition.
The regulator is inviting comments on the transaction from any
interested party.
The merger inquiry has a deadline of July 28 for a phase 1
decision.
BT said on May 12 that it had finalized the sports joint venture
in the U.K. and Ireland with Warner Bros. Discovery.
