IFE'S FAMILY VALUES

Pat Robertson's International Family Entertainment could be the object of a bidding war between News Corp. and Disney. Rupert Murdoch long has coveted IFE's Family Channel, seen in 69 million U.S. homes, as perfect for his planned Fox Kids Network. Analysts expected a mid-May, $1.4 billion marriage. But Disney is getting into the act. Its execs had secret talks at IFE's Virginia Beach (Va.) headquarters in late May. At the possibility of a Disney bid, IFE's stock rose to $27 on May 27.
