FT: Channel 5 sale update.
A trio of US cable network owners have entered the race to buy Channel 5, the UK television broadcaster owned by media baron Richard Desmond.
Viacom, Discovery Communications and Scripps Networks all put forward bids for the company on Thursday, according to people familiar with the process. The sale also drew an offer from Saban Capital.

Might be better for consumers if Scripps get it, as they have the best record for providing FTA channels. This may mean Channel 5 HD no longer being behind the Sky and VM paywalls.

Just heard a rumour that price-drop (741) and bid (745) are going to be removed by VM.
