SMG is considering an approach from Ulster TV for the third time
|
The owners of radio stations TalkSport and Virgin are back in merger talks.
Ulster TV, which operates TalkSport, has approached Glasgow-based broadcaster SMG three months after it was rebuffed by its potential partner.
SMG, which owns Scottish Television, said it would put its search for a new chief executive on hold while the merger discussions take place.
A successful tie-up would create a media group worth about £400m. SMG turned down two offers in late August.
