Fuji Television Network Inc. is considering stepping in to help scandal-hit Livedoor Co., the TV network's chairman said Thursday.
"It's one of the options," Hisashi Hieda told reporters. "If we determine (Livedoor) will grow, we may" help them.
Hieda said Fuji Television's internal team, tasked with devising ways to raise the firm's corporate value, is now researching and assessing the value of Livedoor's assets with an eye to a possible takeover. Fuji TV is Livedoor's second-largest shareholder.
