Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)

I emailed H&C on December 20th asking if it would still be available on VM after 31st January. I've just received a reply back from Melanie H&C Customer Support Advisor saying

I'm sure everyone will be jumping in joy.

Sky Sports Football has four back-to-back games, including a spicy Edinburgh derby in Scotland and crucial games in the race for promotion in the Championship.

Hearts v Hibernian, Scottish Premier League, 12.30pm
Brentford v Swansea, Championship, 3pm
Leeds v Preston, Championship, 5.30pm
Reading v QPR, Championship, 7.45pm

BT Sport 1 is showing St Mirren v Celtic on Boxing day.

Celtic v Rangers is on Sky Football on the 29th and is not free to all VM customers.

Seriously, is that your answer?

And what does that data as at 8 December show? It's about neck and neck now, isn't it?

Viewing of conventional scheduled TV is in steep decline and by 2035 this method of viewing will no longer be possible because IPTV will have taken over and the powers that be will not consider it appropriate to put resources into a declining service.

Somehow that match was never going to be free to all VM customers IMO.

You quite clearly have not read the link. Unsurprising, as your ignorance of objective reality, can only be achieved by doing so.

Less of the personal remarks, or the ban hammer will be wielded

A 2015 link at odds with the BARB. I'm unsurprised you could find one, just a shame there's no real way to quantify the validity of the data. Indeed, does the data even relate to the United Kingdom?

I've provided a link from a recognised industry body within this country. Not a random internet poll.
