The Wall Street Journal (subscription required) reported that it was March 29, not the week of April 9 that News Corporation's (NYSE: NWS) Rupert Murdoch began talks with Dow Jones and Company Inc (NYSE: DJ), as securities regulators sort out the timing of events as insider trading allegations have surfaced in connection with News Corp.'s $5B offer for Dow Jones.

According to people familiar with the matter, the SEC is investigating claims made by Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited (NYSE: FFH) against a group of hedge funds, the Financial Times (subscription required) reported.

Clear Channel Communications Inc's (NYSE: CCU) shares have risen, Barron's Online notes, to near $38 on talk that Fidelity Investments will reverse its stance and back a buyout led by Thomas H. Lee and Bain Capital.
