US cable TV giant Comcast has made a £22.1bn bid for Sky, challenging an existing offer from 21st Century Fox.
Rupert Murdoch’s 21st Century Fox had already agreed an £18.5bn deal to buy the 61% of Sky it does not already own.
Comcast is the biggest US cable TV firm. It also owns the broadcast TV network NBC and Universal Pictures.
Comcast chief executive Brian Roberts called Sky "an outstanding company" and said he was "confident" the offer would be cleared by regulators.
Mr Roberts added: "We would like to own the whole of Sky and we will be looking to acquire over 50% of the Sky shares".
Comcast said its bid of £12.50 a share was 16% higher than the 21st Century Fox offer.
Sky's shares were up more than 21% at above £13 in afternoon trading on the London Stock Exchange.

Oh well... You just can't help but loving ruthless capitalism at times...
1. "unintelligible language"
2. "ACID QUEEN"
3. "never once fails to turn a football thread into a himseelf thread"
4. "thumbs stalker often resulting in repetitive thumb strain"
5. ignore the cunt. he's on permantent wum mission. only TIDs may know City
You'd need to make a very good psychiatrist in order to guess what next in a eight yrs long line of hatred...
In Roger Ailes/Donnie Drumpf's words: "don't know it for a fact, but many people say so..."
there must be some truth, then!
