Okay so it probably won't be called this, but the current "speculation" is that ntl & TW will announce the worst kept secret in the world when the sale of the Broadcast Division has finally been completed. This is expected to sometime in Q1 2005, with the actual joining in Q4 (i.e. by the end of the year). ntl will be the senior 'partner' of the new ntl-telewest, basically controlling the new company.

What this will mean in real terms is obviously not very clear atm - but again the "speculation" is that there will be a lot of redundancies as TW is considered to be over-manned at the moment.
