The UK's biggest pay tv provider buying the UK's second biggest pay tv provider I tend to agree not a chance in my opinion.

Surely that would be a massive competition issue.

I don't think SKY would be allowed to by VM anyway even if they wanted too.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

As MM says there would be serious competition issues and l echo the same sentiment.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

A year ago I would have dismissed the idea completely. Now with the way the market has changed and the big appetite for mergers in telecoms I'd at least entertain the idea even if I still think it unlikely to get past the regulators. Old Rupert wants his legacy to be world's biggest media and communications company though and what he wants he usually gets...

Virgin Media isn't a standalone company any more - they are are part of Liberty Global and a very big part of them at that.

Any change to the ownership of Virgin Media involves the wider company. When a Vodafone take over was being discussed, that talk was about Vodafone buying all of LGI, not just VM UK.

No big loss but Ant and Dec may move to Netflix or Amazon http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2016...?ncid=webmail2

Good riddance to the rubbish as some in this country compared the talentless duo to the great double acts of yonder.:nono:

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

I don't watch the sort of shows they are on, but I have seen them in the past and they seem quite good at what they do. Why such vitriol towards them? The people who do watch those shows seem to like them, otherwise they wouldn't consistently win awards.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

l don't particularly pay attention to awards PB but remember its only my opinion which many others probably do not agree with but l have to speak as l see.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Yup, fully agree Den. They have been predictable and useless since they started.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

What about their outstanding pop career. :LOL:

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Quite right, what about their outstanding pop career! ;)

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

I am sure your views on Ant and/or Dec cut them to the quick, and are only mitigated by their net worth of £62 million each... ;)

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Well done to them for making a fortune but l still stick to my opinion that they are short on talent whether its on TV or by singing in front of a mike but each to their own opinion l say as there are many who seem to like them sadly.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Still more talented than a lot of presenters though den.
