Personal preference but certainly not according to my families viewing. Mad Men I've already seen on Sky Atlantic and the others I have no interest in.

I caught up with this series on Now TV if my memory serves me correctly. However, many have not yet seen this drama beyond the first series screened on BBC2 because Sky Atlantic took it over soon after that.

(I Seem to have been drawn into an off-topic thing)
This should maybe be in another thread.
IMO.
Mad Men is excellent if you've not seen it and it is a good re-watch.
Fear The Walking Dead is okay. There's a potential crossover coming soon so only Sky customers with BT Sports will be able to make sense of this.
Halt and Catch fire is a personal favourite, but isn't it like 3 years behind Amazon who have first run rights in UK?
The Son...I wasted almost 2 hours of my life on the pilot and then deleted the entire series based on that. It seemed dreadful.
AMC is no-loss to anyone's life. It's no Sky Atlantic in almost anyone's book!

Doesn't look good for beIN
Quote:
BeIN Media Group CEO Nasser al-Khelaïfi investigated for corruption
Criminal proceedings have been opened against Jérôme Valcke, the former secretary general of FIFA, and Nasser al-Khelaïfi (CEO of BeIn Media Group) on the award of media rights for the World Cup.
“This investigation is conducted on suspicion of private bribery, fraud, unfair management and forgery in securities,” the Swiss court said in a statement.
To make things worse, the beIN Media group did not cooperate with the investigation into the charges, by opposing the export of computer data during searches in the Parisian offices of the BeIn Sports channel, according to the French national financial prosecutor’s office (PNF) on Saturday.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
MB has posted a rumour that BT Sport will no longer be included in Full House/XL upon expiration of the carriage contract, but that Boxnation & AMC will be included in the BT Sport pack.
If this were to happen, what would people think?

People shouldn't listen to silly rumours there's not a chance they both won't strike a deal.

Have to agree both parties need a deal for different reasons.

You sure?
@MartinHoscik
@VirginMediaCorp PR failed to answer my email but rumours abound that they’re going to stop giving BT Sport away for free in their XL pack.

That means nothing on its own, Gavin. Since when has VM given advance notice of channels before a deal has been signed? Do you not remember all the chatter that went on before the original BT wholesale deal was announced? We didn't get confirmation until right up to the day it was broadcast!
Expect a lot of speculation until the deal is announced, and believe none of it in the meantime!

Well you believed Amazon were going to bid and win the Premier league rights so what's different.
