Personally I can't see BT taking over Virgin as the second top pay TV provider. BT currently have about 3.1 million less TV customers than Virgin.
People moving from Freesat and Freeview to pay TV has stagnated over the past 18 months and shows no real sign of improving. It looks like BT will need to target Virgin and SKY customers directly to grow their own TV customer numbers. I just can't see millions of SKY and Virgin customers leaving to go to BT unless BT offer their services at ridiculously low prices.

What do you mean I must be joking? I posted the source of the information. If the source is wrong or inaccurate it's nothing to do with me.
Thanks for sharing a more accurate source.

Good point on the shareholders Chad but they will look at Liberty shares which analysts assume will go up by as much as 20 dollars on completion of the deal.
VM will drop to 3rd, however will Liberty advertise, join VM part of Europes largest broadband provider or will they re brand as VM in Europe where the brand is also well known through the megastores. Apparently there was uproar when the Paris branch closed recently.
