		Axel Springer, the German newspaper publisher, has abandoned its plans to sell a television channel to save its takeover of a leading broadcaster, in a move that clears the way for it to take legal action over regulators’ handling of the affair.
		Springer has refused to give up on the €4.2bn ($5bn) transaction and is considering all options, especially legal ones, which it can only use if it has withdrawn its disposal offer.
		Regulators fear Springer’s dominance of the tabloid and TV markets could lead to a duopoly with market leader Bertelsmann, which in turn would entail huge increases in advertising rates and threaten the diversity of media in Germany.
