Liberty 'could buy Virgin channels'

International cable giant Liberty Global would consider buying Virgin Media's television channels, it has said.

Liberty's chief strategy officer Shane O'Neill, also head of its European channels group Chellomedia - (TV Boy) who own Zone Horror - told The Sunday Telegraph: "If [Virgin Media TV] came on the market we would be duty bound to have a good look at it."

Liberty Global is chaired by US media tycoon John Malone.
