Rupert Murdoch looks set to add to his already enormous media empire with the purchase of Wireless Group.
Wireless Group controls several major Irish radio stations, including FM104 and Q102 in Dublin. The group also controls Cork’s C103 and 96FM, Limerick’s Live 95FM, Belfast’s U105 and LMFM in Leinster.
The group is set to be bought out by Murdoch’s News Corp – an empire which currently includes The Times, The Sunday Times and The Sun newspapers.
Murdoch will also get popular UK brand talkSPORT as part of the deal.
According to RTÉ, the sale will come to roughly €265 million.
