Re: Virgin Media News

According to the Observer/Guardian, John Malone has reiterated his interest in Virgin Media, which, I must admit does sound promising.

It states that Murdoch and Malone used to work together (!) and Murdoch sold his DirecTV Satellite group to Malone, only for Malone to sell it at a bigger price.

He also owns 17 Countries Cable groups, and Virgin media could be the pinnacle of that, if he were to buy it.

Malone and Murdoch have a decent enough relationship to see a healthy competitiveness in the TV Market, but not a RIVAL Competitiveness like we have seen in the past 8 Months.

The thing I like about this guy is his willingness to move his family to a State that has really poor TV Signals, dug up the roads and installed Cable to people so they could watch Multi-Channel TV.

It says "against all the doubters, he did it, and proved them wrong!"
