Cable Forum - Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II

It only looks bad if you want to look at it that way, as they are repositioning themselves as a delivery network rather then one that creates content then it makes sense to get rid of assets that you no longer require. Selling UKTV is a no brainer they will always be able to carry the channels.

the thing is Sky have shown how having to content and the platform is the business model to have. With just the platform it leaves VM in a weaker situation when negotiating with Sky

That ship has sailed! VM won't have any say in refusing to let Sky carry the UKTV portfolio as they don't own it outright so why not sell and grab the cash!
