Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.

Virgin don't own any channels so any of them closing are beyond its control. It's not about that though. It's about whether any changes VM makes are 'significant changes' and paragraph J3 applies. To lose a set of channels which VM sold separately for £8 a month would probably count, in my view.

J3 says "any changes Virgin Media makes". Again, they have not made that decision. As as been said here multiple times and by Virgin Media themselves, you will not be able to leave your contract over the loss of ESPN

Could do with an update from RichardCoulter, he should check why there appears to be a confidentiality agreement on a contract that has never existed.

I think you could as Virgin Media have had many opportunities to keep ESPN but have failed with poor negotiation with BT - therefore it is completely there fault in making these changes as they could have kept ESPN if agreed to BTs offer.

Or as someone said last night a schoolkid who spent the last 12 hours laughing at everyone. Saying he/she is dead to you is a bit harsh though. If it was me saying that I'd be slaughtered for saying it. Best thing to do now is put him on ignore list, he/she will soon get bored if no-one bites.

That's not true. As channels are wholesale contract is with virgin therefore can cancel. But what date were you informed by virgin espn would be leaving is the key question

It is normal that all parties sign a confidentiality agreement prior to any discussions/negotiations on a major contract. I work under these type of agreements every day.

VM has made the changes Ocav. The reasoning behind their decision not to get BT Sport is utterly irrelevant.
