Cable Forum - Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.

Thats the very clever tactic vm spend so much time negotiating that they weill eventually wear the HD channel supplier down and down, until they get it much cheaper very clever ploy imo LOL :D:D:D

I thought the channel pays VM (apart from PSBs). This gives them greater reach and therefore the ability to charge their advertisers more.

I might be wrong though (Although this has never previously been known). :)

Surely VM go find the channel and offer to buy the the service for it customer.

VM don't provide the service that the consumer wants, THATS you have so many customers on this forum complaining about the lack of channels.

What l am saying is that VM will not be as big or a strong contender against Sky until they have channels that they can poach customers with.

Cable Tv is just a second rate tv service, whereas other countries ie USA, they have thousands of them.

I think you can add the Shopping and Radio Channels to that list.

At this point, Il'd accept a ton of channels like Babestation over absolutely nothing from Virgin, seeing a chick with her tits out every night will calm my desire for new channels and my urge to join Sky

Seriously, so do Virgin pay operators to join their EPG, or do operators pay Virgin? I cant understand why cheap channels as in not so good in quality ones like Pick TV + 1 and the rest of the CBS channels arent on the EPG yet, surely these are bottom tier channels that wouldnt cost anything really to carry?

Also, although I was joking, why doesnt Virgin carry those channels lonely Virgins ring up to speak with Chicks with fake boobs?

Virgins lack of investment in their TV service is dissapointing.

It is now being reported that the asian channed Zing is being removed tonight.

As Colors is rumoured to be launching tomorrow is this yet another example of channels being removed from VM in order for others to launch even though they continue to broadcast on other platforms?
