Story from FT:

Virgin Media O2 Executives are closing in on a deal to show the Premier League football matches managed by TNT Sports, which is jointly owned by BT and Warner Bros. Discovery, as broadcasting fee negotiations near conclusion.

The deadline for the talks is this week, but those close to the deal said they were confident of coming to an arrangement before or shortly after the deadline. If not, Virgin Media will not be able to show TNT Sports when the deal expires after the end of July.
