Southern Cross Broadcasting takeover target

I was interested to read that the current edition of the Australian Financial Reviews SmartInvestor http://www.afrsmartinvestor.com.au/ in its feature article on potential takeover targets has nominated Southern Cross Broadcasting. Recall the industry map on media owner companies (betweenness measure) had identified a single firm in a critical broking role. That was SCB!

To add some balance, it should also be noted that West Australian Newspapers was also nominated. This firm was not in a major brokering position but well positioned in one of the regional clusters....so we can't claim betweenness centrality as the only indicator of a great takeover target, but at least it could be an indicator that no-one else is looking at!
