DirecTV Sale Finalised.

Not really Virgin Media news, but kind of related.

Sky's owners, News Corp. have agreed to release DirecTV, the US' Satellite Broadcaster, to Liberty Media, ran by John Malone.

As some might remember, John Malone was said to be interested in Virgin media last year, before the Credit Crunch scuppered the Cable Co's chance of being sold.

Anyone find it ironic, that News Corp. want nothing to do with Satellite TV in the US, but its the complete opposite in this country?
