If that is true then surely ITV haven't got a leg to stand on (not that I think they have anyway). |

The main ITV channel was not part of any deal as far as I am aware from what I have read. Of course, the public service requirements regarding the duty to broadcast free of charge on all platforms and to take a prominent position in the EPG is laid down separately. |
Re: ITV threaten to blackout on Virgin
The 2015 deal seems to have only been for the main PSB channel. Press reports earlier this year suggested the carriage deal for ITV's other channels was due for renewal in September. Presumably ITV's position was "pay for the main ITV channel, or lose all the others".
If September is correct, I guess there has been some kind of temporary agreement to continue distribution of the other channels http://www.businessinsider.com/itv-c...n-media-2017-5 |

Re: ITV threaten to blackout on Virgin
ITV is just overflowing with dross which I never watch, so I won't miss it at all.
But if Virgin do pay up, they will no doubt pass on the cost to subscribers even if we don't want it! Exactly as they did with the BT Sports channels. |

By far the most watched channels in this house are BBC 1 and 2, Sky Atlantic (via Now TV), Netflix and Amazon. My wife also watches TLC and Lifetime quite a lot. If ITV want to take away their presence on Virgin Media in a fit of pique, I'm not really bothered, although to be fair I can still watch all their channels on Freeview if I want to as I have an aerial and a DVD recorder. ---------- Post added at 19:06 ---------- Previous post was at 19:04 ---------- Quote:

Re: ITV threaten to blackout on Virgin
I think the £3pm increase to the XL TV package for the launch of BT Sport Europe is what Taf's referring to.
Here's the Daily Mail's latest take on the ITV situation (nothing really new in the article apart, perhaps, for a few words from David Bouchier) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/mar...le-Virgin.html |

Re: ITV threaten to blackout on Virgin
Offer other channels 103 & 113 & send ITV1 down in the 170s with the rest of their channels. See how they like that!
