Carphone Warehouse weighs up TV service

Charles Dunstone, chief executive of Carphone, said in an interview with the Financial Times that it is studying whether its Talk Talk phone and broadband business should expand Tiscali's TV service.

Carphone last week completed its deal to buy Tiscali's UK assets for £236m. This includes Tiscali TV, a service that provides customers with Freeview channels and video-on-demand content.

Tiscali TV has 50,000 customers. Dunstone has said Talk Talk was considering participating in the BBC-led project Canvas, and also developing Tiscali TV.
