Its content business. I've emboldened it just so it stands out. The content business is the TV channels it owns though Flextech. They have been trying, on and off, to get shut of them for some time, so this is nothing new.

Any and all discussion of the sale of Virgin Media itself is just naked speculation. I mean, speculate away by all means, but not on the back of this report in the Telegraph because that is not what is being reported.
