I know but 5USA seems to have a tightly focussed audience which wouldn't fit well with Paramount Channel's content. Also, I believe that 5USA is the best performing of Channel 5's spin-off channels, so why rock the boat?

My money's on My5. It's always come across a bit as a place-holder to me. Heck, they couldn't even be bothered to give it a name and just used the name of their on-demand service instead!

Well Dirty Des closed 5Star +1 to launch Channel 5 +24.

Viacom then changed this to My5, but reintroduced 5Star +1, so I can't see them doing that (unless My5 has been a ratings disaster).

It seems the price increases are for the initial take of the contract for new customers.

The current VIP package is currently priced at £120 anyway.

"Meanwhile, the highest end VIP bundle, which includes 97 channels, will jump from the current starting rate of £85 to £90 for the first 12 month, and then increase to £120 afterwards."

We feel that Virgin Media UK may start to broadcast TV3 Channels when any ITV shows in on them if ITV stop Virgin Media from broadcasting them.

Well, what can you say about these DNP orders?

1. Are they (a) extremely good; (b) good or (c) not very significant?

2. Do they relate to (a) TV channels; (b) streaming/on demand services?

3. Are they (a) part of existing subscription packages, (b) additional subscription services or (c) pay per view?

You must be able to tell us something without spilling the beans, surely? :fit:
