Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.

Personally I don't care whether they "both" do - I'm just thankful that MediaBoy is prepared to give up his time keeping us as up to date as possible with what's going on in the VM world

Perhaps part of the agreement was to bring back this channel as a VM exclusive?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.

I don't think the news will be completely new to us. It will either be Sky channels (MB has tried to put me off the scent), Fox+, Premiere Sports or news of inclusion in the XL pack. That is, PS. Or Netflix.

No, it's just nonsense to cover up the real reason!
