The Commerce Commission's decision as to whether it will allow media companies NZME and Fairfax NZ to merge has been delayed, again.
The media organisations will have to wait an extra day to receive a decision from the commission.
The commission was expected to report on its decision on Tuesday May 2, but today it announced the decision will be delivered Wednesday May 3.
"The Commission has agreed with the applicants to extend the May 2, 2017, decision date by one day," the commission said.
"A media conference will be held at the Commission's Wellington office at 8.30am on Wednesday 3 May 2017 to announce the decision."
