One final pat on the back for Dixons Carphone on Tip TV

Great news! Carphone Warehouse and Dixons Retail have finally confirmed the details of their £3.8 billion merger in a statement today. Here is a link to the formal announcement:

Loyal Betaville readers will remember I broke the story about Carphone Warehouse and Dixons Retail being in merger talks back in February. Here is a link to that original story:

I know its rather gratuitous but I gave myself another round of backslapping when I went on Tip TV this morning. I mean it's not often (or maybe it is in my case) one gets to break such a huge story so I guess I better milk it.

Here is a link to today's Tip TV clip, where I also talk about Pfizer's £63 billion bid for AstraZeneca, Vodafone, Shire, InterMune and Ladbrokes. Enjoy:
