Major UK Drama Antitrust Probe Dropped; BBC & Others Fined $5.4M For Colluding Over Crew Pay In Sports Production

The CMA has dropped a major antitrust investigation into some of the country's biggest drama producers over how they paid freelance crew members.
The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has concluded its investigation into BBC Sport, ITV, and Sky UK, dropping the case against BBC Sport and ITV but fining Sky UK £3 million for anti-competitive practices.
