UK broadcaster sold to porn entrepreneur

Quote:

Richard Desmond made his fortune with skin mags and adult pay-TV channels. But lately he?s turned legit, buying the Express Newspapers, OK! magazine and now the UK?s Channel Five television operation.

RTL Group, Europe?s largest broadcasting company, put Channel Five up for sale after failing to stem its flow of red ink. It announced Monday (7/26) that the UK network had been sold to Desmond?s Northern & Shell company for 125 million euros ($162 million).

The Guardian newspaper (not a Desmond property) noted that the controversial porn entrepreneur is likely to face a grilling by Members of Parliament on the House of Commons Culture Committee, but there are no competitive issues to preclude his acquisition. UK rules bar his from cross-promoting his other media properties on Channel Five, but the MPs reportedly want to be sure he doesn?t intend to make the network a sea of tabloid TV shows.

He turned legit??? Is being in porn not legit????

Dirty Des is fantastic, good luck to him.

Good for him.

Now he can hire gideongallery and start putting porn items in their broadcasts, and Pepsi cans in the porn shoots. This is what Robbie has been waiting for. A fusion of porn and mainstream.

Now he just needs to install that VCR in his DeLorean, and he will float away on a cloud.

Not many people these days will make the money Richard Desmond made out of soft porn. If any.

So can we expect Russ Meyer flicks to start showing on friday nights again?
