Media mergers

The Australian Government discussion paper on media reform issued in March 2006 indicated that the ACCC would be asked to articulate its proposed approach to media mergers, with a particular focus on media market definition. The government announced its media reform proposals on 13 July 2006. Consequently, the ACCC has now issued a paper on media mergers.

The paper does not, and cannot, provide hard-and-fast rules about the impact of specific media mergers on competition.

The individual circumstances and competitive implications of any media merger proposals will need to be considered during a comprehensive and public clearance process. 

For further information on this paper, please contact the ACCC Infocentre on 1300 302 502 or email mergers@accc.gov.au.
