Re: Acquisition by Sky of Virgin Media Television
 
I can see the potential for Sky Content being force separated from the delivery platform before too long. There is growing public disquiet at Murdoch's strangle hold over the media sector and this deal only contributes to this, in the end this could actually hurt Murdoch more in the long run than it could Virgin.

I forgot about that, never got round to watching any PPV's on there. So hopefully they will pick it up.

Sorry if this has already been asked/answered but what does this sale mean for Virgin's stake in UKTV? Have they retained it or has that gone to BSkyB too? If they've retained it than this deal is amazing for Virgin because I'd have thought that the UKTV stake is a bigger asset than any of their 100% owned channels.

UKTV is not affected by this

How does that work in practise? Was it VM that owned 50% of UKTV or was it VMTV?

Thanks Ben. That makes more sense now.

DF, I tried to PM you with an off-topic question about caller display but it was rejected! I can think of understandable reasons why this might be but is there an alternative way to ask you this question or a suitable thread to post it in where you will see it?

Tnx.

Now we know how BSkyB will pay for VMTV - By cash.

BSkyB will be paid a total of £318m as part of the final settlement of a long-running legal case against the Hewlett-Packard subsidiary Electronic Data Systems.

OK DF, much as I suspected regarding PMs.

I have now posted the message in Caller Display not available? where I see you are also active.
