I would say yes, but we'll see.

Liberty has several cable/media brands. UPC being their biggest brand in Europe.

When Branson took a share of what was ntl:telewest, the cableco signed a licensing agreement to use the Virgin brand.

The Virgin brand is well known as being Richard Branson Inc and Virgin Media in itself is now well establised in its own right. But I don't think one billlionaire will want to use the brand of another, even a sucessful one, so we'll see.

Personally, I liked and still do like the name Telewest. Do I think it will come back? Unlikely.

But I do think there will be a new name eventually and I think I know what it will be....:)

I don't think so either, the Virgin brand is well known in the UK whereas Liberty/UPC is not known at all

So saying VM has shed loads of debt is 'unfair and unbalanced' but saying Sky has better services etc is 'trolling'? You're a pack of hypocrites.

Think we should concentrate on the sale first as that hasn't even happened yet

The truth is no one knows what will happen to the name
