Is The Sun, a UK newspaper, owned by Murdoch.

I am sure that many of News Of The World readers will migrate there to get their daily dose of garbage.

1. Yes. doesn't Murdock own News Corporation?

2. Yes, and people are saying it will start publishing on Sundays

eg Andrew Neil (ex Murdoch editor at the Sunday Times) on Radio 4 now. He thinks it won't get the circulation the NotW did, but it will cost a lot less to run.

3. yes, I just read that in The Guardian.

It will be interesting to see how the soon-to-be unemployed Murdoch employees of News Of The World react when they realize how quickly he was willing to cut them lose to save the rest of his company.

4. Where they also say Murdoch already owns 'sunday.co.uk'

I tried it, and it offered me a 4 week free trial for the News of the World! Bargain!
