The proposed $2.8 billion purchase of the Hispanic Broadcasting Corporation by Univision Communications has been approved in an initial vote by the Republican majority of the Federal Communications Commission, agency officials said yesterday. The three Republicans, led by the chairman, Michael K. Powell, voted privately last week to approve the merger, said four Washington officials who asked not to be named. Univision, the largest Spanish-language television broadcaster in the United States, and Hispanic, the top Spanish-language radio company, proposed the merger in June 2002. It is possible that the two Democratic commissioners, Michael J. Copps and Jonathan S. Adelstein, who have not yet voted, could secure changes in the proposal or persuade Republicans to switch their votes, the officials said.

The Halliburton Company, a provider of oil field services, lost an appeals court bid to overturn a $98.1 million jury award to its rival, the BJ Services Company. BJ Services claimed Halliburton, which is based in Houston, infringed a patent for a method of hydraulic fracturing, which pumps liquid into the ground at high pressure to break open underground formations so that more oil can be recovered. Halliburton lost an April 2002 trial over the patent. The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington upheld the jury finding that the patent was valid and infringed.
