The title is scheduled to return to the streets of London on 12 June.
It is understood that 19 of Sport's 22 UK staff, including its editor Simon Caney, will stay on and move into UTV's UK offices. It is expected the deal will lead to the departure of Sport managing director Greg Miall. He will stay on during the transition process.
UTV Media is aiming to integrate the Sport sales team alongside its TalkSport commercial unit, which will be rebranded under a new as- yet undecided name, within a week and will be headed by TalkSport sales director Adam Bullock.
TalkSport staff were told yesterday (Tuesday) about the deal.
