In a statement, he added: "We already have a strong presence in London through our NBCUniversal international operations, and we intend to maintain Sky’s headquarters. " Comcast has made a $ 31bn offer for Sky , threatening the bid from 21st Century Fox for 61% of the company. The UK cable TV giant has offered £ 17.21 ($ 17.21 ) per share, 16% higher than the Fox offer. Sky said Fox ’s takeover would not be in the public interest because it would give the Murdochs too much influence over US media. Comcast CEO Brian Roberts said Sky could be co-owned with Fox , which wants to buy the majority of Fox ’s business, as long as Comcast had the majority stake.
