The Department of Justice of the United States will interpose today a demand to prevent the fusion between AT & T and the group Time Warner, informed local media today.

Recently, different media reported that the Department of Justice had put as a condition to approving the merger to sell the cable channel CNN, one of the jewels of the Time Warner group, or the satellite channel DirecTV, owned by AT & T.

AT & T announced last year that it had reached an agreement to buy the Time Warner Group for the US $ 85,400 million, which includes the CNN and TNT channels and entertainment channels such as HBO, as well as the Warner Bros. studios.
