Any link that confirm they will launch (We can't see any).

AMC would do for starters! :D

The shopping channels either directly or indirectly benefit everyone. The housebound find them useful and, as they pay VM to be on the platform, they provide extra revenue to help keep prices down (yeah, right!) or to invest in new services/content, which could possibly even be VOD content ;)

Ok, good point. All I can say though is that there must be a lot of housebound people out there with tons of jewellery. I hope they have safes at home...:erm:

We saw the post on Digital Spy Forum about that early on today but we have been trying to find it on Twitter with no luck so until we get it confirm by seeing it we will put it down as "Rumour".

God! Shopping channels! Is that the best we can be looking forward to?

What I am interested in is what additional on demand content we will be getting from Sky next year. That may or may not be quite significant.

Proof that the physical broadcast of television relies upon very few viewers.

Well, clearly, the sales arising from the broadcast of these channels makes it worthwhile.

No content rights to worry about either.

They probably don't need one when you consider the overpriced tat that they sell!

You do make me laugh, Den, I don't think that i have ever seen any evidence from you that backs up your theory that nothing will ever change, you really are the premier league "wind up" merchant.....:):D

Someone doing streaming and linear doesn't have to worry about rights either.

Does anyone know a single person on the planet that buys from these channels?

Isn’t this weekend the final weekend of itvs contract with la Liga? So if it’s going to continue la Liga need to strike a deal sometime this week I’d imagine?

I have a horrible feeling it’ll either go to eleven sport (a cheaper rate for them or something and they’ll say they originally paid more as they thought they’d have 3pm games) or it’ll go to premier sports .

Any guesses people?
