Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2

Once Game of Thrones is no more, I'd say the odds are evens.

The whole point of keeping Sky Atlantic exclusive is because of Game of Thrones.

Actually, I'd go even further than that... Sky rejig their channels every 4-5 years and once the HBO/Sky deal is up, I'd be surprised if it were renewed on the same terms. So, there might not even be a Sky Atlantic in 2-3 years time.

There is already talk of a spin off to Game of Thrones plus I'm sure HBO will be going all out to find new content to match.

I am still wading through those box sets now, and having subscribed to Now TV only last summer, I remain impressed by all this content that we have missed by not having this channel.

Ratings suggest its all about game of thrones sir

It is one of the most cliche and ridiculous shows ever of some fantasy land with dragons and strange little wars. So dungeons and dragons. But throw in some tits and sex scenes to make it seem cool

Fair play it has worked based on ratings but it's a very weird and utterly laughable geeky show

Sky use it as their crown jewel in sky Atlantic. Once it's done and over Virgin media will get the channel

100%

Ray Donovan is another cracking show on Sky Atlantic.
