It was well publicised that Sky had managed to beat Virgin/ VM to a number of advertising slots on Virgin Radio. Competition laws would more than likely mean that VM cannot refuse to allow Sky to advertise on their services if Sky were to outbid other people and the same would be true in reverse.

Oh, well forgive me for even bothering to post. What I thought to be a light hearted comment is met with nothing but negativity. I guess I'd better swot up next time and do a few hours research before even thinking of posting anything on here again.

Alan, please don't get into a snit.

How were we to know it was "light-hearted", as the smiley was an "erm"?

Sorry for misinterpreting your post.
