I hope that Liberty's strategy of bringing us maximum content comes into play as contracts are re-negotiated. I'd hate to think that we are losing our way again with the TV offering from Virgin.

One suspects it will be another subscription channel if it happens.

Given the agreement Virgin and BT eventually came to, it will be interesting to see how that effects negotiations this time round :)

Given that it is April already one would surmise that negotiations for a new deal from June are already taking place but as like before expect them to go up to the wire as usual.

If a deal expires on 30 June expect Virgin to sign a new deal at 11:59 pm. (Followed by a deal for Sky Atlantic on 31 June:) )

If the SA deal could be done on 31 June - I'd pay the carriage fees myself.
