Thnx Druchii I can reach that link but the OP's link keeps comming up dead.

I always laugh when reading things like this "BT Vision broadband TV service, said: 'We don't comment on rumour and speculation.'"

[Merged] Setanta bidding War
Disney's ESPN last night emerged as the most likely suitor in the mooted €1.3bn sale of Setanta Sports, ahead of Richard Branson's Virgin and telecoms giant BT.

If Disney get Setanta, I wouldn't be surprised if they bid for ITV shortly afterwards. Disney have been interested in ITV for a long time and are a major shareholder in GMTV.
