“He has just recruited new people to the titles and promised to spend more money to turn them around.

Frenzied speculation over a radical consolidation of the newspaper and television sectors sent media shares soaring yesterday amid growing conviction that United News and Media was set to sell its Express newspaper titles.Lord Stevens, United’s chief executive, issued a terse “no comment” to speculation that he had found a buyer for the Daily Express, the Sunday Express and the Daily Star.Leading the list of potential bidders was Michael Green’s Carlton Communications, which has routinely refused to rule out an investment in the national newspaper industry. It argues that cable operators would have difficulty undercutting BT at lower than present prices, thus jeopardising their key marketing advantage..

While networks have been built on schedule and on budget, the “penetration” rate at which customers with access to cable actually take the service has hovered at a disappointing 20 per cent. “So far, cable hasn’t been much of a success story, despite all the early hype,” a telecoms analyst said.The cable industry has had difficulty convincing customers to sign up for its services, despite undercutting BT on basic phone service and providing multi-channel TV at rates comparable to, although higher than, those charged by BSkyB for satellite.Separately, the industry trade group, the Cable Communications Association, published its submission to Oftel, the telcoms watchdog that is considering new terms for the supply of telephony services from BT.The CCA wants Oftel to freeze BT prices at current levels, rather than force the dominant supplier to lower them further. Nynex shares were 4p higher at 91p, while General cable added just 1/2p to close at 184p.But the sector continues dramatically to underperform the market, and has missed various performance targets expected by analysts. “They certainly had trouble developing their business here,” said one leading analyst.The three publicly quoted cable companies all saw their shares rise on the news of Videotron’s departure from the market. Neil Blackley, an analyst at Goldman Sachs, said: “The idea is that consolidation will lead to more efficiency and lower costs in the business, which will improve prospects for the remaining companies.”Telewest, the largest operator, saw its shares climb more than 10p to close at 145p. That inquiry is now under way.Videotron’s marketing and sales performance were below par, according to cable industry sources.

It pioneered the a la carte approach to marketing cable channels, which led to disputes with BSkyB, the satellite broadcaster, and other suppliers of pay-TV programming.Most of the industry accepts the “bundling” of channels as a prime marketing tool, using the a la carte system only for a handful of premium channels.Videotron, along with two other smaller cable operators, led a campaign to convince the Office of Fair Trading to investigate BSkyB’s supply of programming to the industry. Among the potential buyers are Bell Cablemedia, which owns 18 per cent of Videotron Holdings.
Videotron’s chief executive, Andre Chagnon, said the company planned to focus on Canada and the US. “Now is an appropriate time to explore alternatives for realising the value of our investment,” he said in Montreal yesterday.Videotron is the fourth largest UK cable operator, with franchises in London and surrounding areas. The Canadian-based company owns 56 per cent of Videotron Holdings, the New York-listed stock, and has appointed Goldman Sachs to seek buyers for the stake. Videotron is to sell its entire investment in the ailing UK cable market, in a move that heralds the start of a long-awaited industry consolidation, writes Mathew Horsman.

But compassion is not approval.”Mr Dole suffers from the comparison with Mr Forbes on account of age, his reputation as a Washington insider and because he has been unable to shake off the image of man who has no clear policies, who will tailor his message to fit the opinion poll fashions. Last week he was asked on the campaign trail in Iowa whether he approved of same-sex marriages He replied: “If you want to live together, fine If you want to have a life together, fine.

It’s all IKEA and linen, not chrome and black.”However, since the volcano-dance of the Eighties boom only happened in the South-east, for most people the Filofax was never anything other than an aid for shoulder-padded power-lunchers. “And, of course, the Filofax will fit neatly into most sorts of handbag”. Handbag? Who is it trying to fool? And if the ring-bound diary has been colonised by women, why has the company discontinued “Pregfax”, its handy guide to all things gestatory? More unconvincingly, it is keen to point out that famous Filofans include Woody Allen (proud owner of 20), Kylie Minogue, and, um, Chris Tarrant. Pressing it into my hand after two big lasses thrashed me at a round of Blockbusters, he slapped me on the back and said: “Now you can organise your life properly.” That was a good 10 years ago, and I still don’t know whether I should be using it.

The process was strongly advocated by Lord Mackay in last Thursday’s White Paper on divorce. The paper set out the Lord Chancellor’s intention to provide funds for the training of many more mediators and to avoid the bitter battles of the divorce courts as far as possible. If a couple comes to an agreement through mediation, divorce lawyers will be used only to fine-tune the agreement and to bring it before the judge.
So far, much of the debate about mediation has revolved around the question of whether it will make divorce easier or more difficult to obtain, and whether that is a good or bad thing. But in the moral maze, a more practical question is being lost. Is the mediation process going to be appropriate for most – or even many – of the thousands of couples who face the break- up of their marriages every year? Has Lord Mackay considered the possibility that sitting in a room with a person to whom you once said “I do”, and discussing in a civilised manner who’s going to keep the marital bed, might not be everyone’s cup of tea?”Let’s talk about it” may be the fashionable and correct approach, but many people find it hard enough to discuss the details of their broken marriage with one divorce lawyer, let alone in front of a lawyer, a therapist and a soon-to-be-ex-spouse. This is quite aside from cases of physical violence: the wife with the black eye or the broken ribs, where even the mediators themselves say their service is totally unsuitable.Jacky Klarfeld and Mary Kane work together as a team of qualified independent mediators with the Family Mediators Association. They are quick to point out that mediation is not the easy option and is often a very painful process, even for troubled marriages in which there has been no abusive behaviour “We are prepared for the pain,” says Jacky “We always have a box of Kleenex ready.

If someone gets really upset, I’ll say something like, ‘Look, I know this hurts It’s quite natural for you to feel like this. Would you like to have a break?’ We do ask the couple how they got to the point of deciding to split up But we don’t delve into the emotional side too deeply At the end of the day mediation is a practical process. It is not therapy.”Some may be able to shed a few tears and soldier on, but for others it can be potentially damaging to open wounds and leave them gaping without stitches.James Thom, a barrister, and his wife, Terry, a librarian, have just finished mediation with Jacky and Mary after the break-up of their 18- year marriage. They did reach an agreement both on their three small children and their finances by the end of it, but James says there were times when the emotion aroused during a session got in the way of his everyday life.”We sat there, me in one armchair, Terry in another, with Jacky and Mary on the sofa opposite us. When things got really tough I would switch off and count the number of science-fiction books on the shelves that I’d read.

There were times when I thought Terry would have been happy for me to go and live like a monkey in a tree, and she felt I was saying ‘I want, I want, I want’. After sessions like that I felt so wretched I couldn’t do a thing for the rest of the day.”Judith and Chris Howell’s mediation took place at the mediation centre in Bristol. Although their own experience was fairly amicable, Judith overheard a good deal of angst coming through the walls. “I could hear couples screaming and yelling at each other in adjacent rooms.

I remember thinking, ‘This might work for us, but it’s clearly not for everyone’.”Jacky Klarfeld and Mary Kane say that if one or both individuals become too distressed, they will always suggest counselling or therapy, quite apart from the mediation process – as will mediators who belong to the National Association of Family Mediation. But couples may have no spare time or spare cash for counselling, in which case they are completely dependent on the skills of the mediators.What of the children involved in mediation? “Part of the whole process is to bring the child’s voice into it,” says Jacky Klarfeld. “We want the parents to focus on the welfare of their children first and foremost. Sometimes, if a child is old enough, we will have a session or two with him and ask how he feels about things.”It cannot be a bad thing to listen to children’s needs, but here again the child is asked to reveal emotions and then often left to deal with them alone. “We asked one little girl how she felt walking down her front path after she had said goodbye to her Mummy, and before she got into the car with her Daddy,” says Thelma Fisher, Director of the National Association of Family Mediation. “She said she felt like a great nasty bird was going to come down and snatch her away, because during those few moments between Mummy and Daddy no one was with her.” The mediators came up with a solution.
