Long shot but FOX may lower the carriage fee if they take Sky over.

Not sure but i think EE tv is mostly app based content but my point to Dave was in a way EE are carrying Sky Atlantic so he can't keep harping on that Sky don't want anyone to have it as the options are there for none SKY customers to access it via nowtv ok still SKY but my point still remains, if SKY were withholding it they wouldn't include it on nowtv.

You have simply no proof of your assertion that Virgin offered diddly squat for Sky Atlantic as l suspect that Sky's sky high carriage fee demands for Sky Atlantic are much nearer the truth.:)

If it's theone's source that said AMC was arriving on VM this February or that Fox News was arriving this Autmn then I'd be confident it will still be part of XL. :)
I think the BT Sport contract expires in 2018 doesn't it?

The evidence that Sky's asking price for Sky Atlantic being unviable is that no companies have signed deals with Sky. TalkTalk hasn't. Magnet and Eir in Eire hasn't. And when they were not part of Virgin Media, Smallworld and UPC Ireland hadn't either. So bags of evidence to support megaposter denphone I'm afraid. ;)

Agreed. Fox will have a big loan to pay off as they are not issuing shares to buy Sky. They will want Sky to be as profitable as possible to help pay the debt off.

In fairness, and as I have said before, it hadn't been testing anywhere on Virgin Media for quite some time (it wasn't in the Network Information Table for any of the individual networks). Its entry had been left behind in the SDT along with a few other ghost entries. The penalty of relying on the SDT for information is that you will often see these ghost entries after the actual tests are removed from the network.

Our own view is if Fox lower the fee that will mean more viewers for the channel than that will mean Fox can ask the ads for more money.

Anyway Fox may even close down that channel anyway and put the shows on other Sky or Fox channels.

Hate to tell you but Virgin/Liberty Global also have "big loan to pay off" but they are still buying things around the world.

Sources are saying VM will no longer be including BT Sport in their xl pack or whatever it's called now from late 2017.

It's all on their website, but I have to say that we should be concerned about the quality, not the quantity, of the channels on offer.
