Precisely, so how many Existing customers are they going to lose in a week? So much for being loyal. Guess I'll cancel and re-sign in 5 days.... like they'll allow that i know.:mad:

If I were Virgin I'd be concentrating on keeping as well and introducing new customers to their business.

Hi Media Boy can you confirm in your March update that Sky Movies Disney will launch on Channel 411/441 because Sky Movies Thriller is on Channel 407/437, thanks.
Crime and Thriller replaces Classic on 411/441.

I've read with interest over the past few months about people thoughts about sky withholding channels eg sky Atlantic surely now the take up of both sky and virgin of new customers are at saturation point and apart from the few numbers that move between it would now make commercial sense for sky to make channels available to other outlets especially for advertisement revenue

When there was a carriage dispute over the Sky Basics a few years back the loss of the VM audience hit Sky1's advertisers pretty hard and they were the main instigators of getting Sky back to the table to thrash out a deal. With Sky Atlantic the audiences are pretty small anyway (aside from a few shows like Game of Thrones) so the advertisers probably aren't as vocal.
Whether or not it significantly attracts new customers now I would doubt, but it may prevent some churn of customers leaving for VM or BT Vision.

The difference was that when sky1 etc left Virgin Media the advertisers had already made the deal to include Virgin Media's customers in the target figures. With Sky Atlantic we have never had it, so advertising revenue would not have come into it.

Virgin Media has posted the following on their Twitter page.

VM like to make a noise about something that won't happen or will happen 2 years down the line, probably as a customer retention trick again.

Anyone with common sense knows that VM will not be getting Sky Atlantic any time soon, especially before 2014.

So don't be fooled in to staying with Virgin Media just in case or in the hope they get Sky Atlantic soon. #NotHappening

Can't dispute the simple truths in my post so going for a personal attack diversion? ;)

Predictable and sad!

There are truths and untruths and then there are some people who are obsessed and consistently hellbent on knocking Virgin Media at every turn and it seems you qualify for that one.:)
