Have seen no updates on the channels that Virgin are testing today.

I hope can sign an deal with BT for BT Sports but if Virgin want me to pay more I will give BT Sport an miss.

I have not been posting today due to no new info from insider and also been busy with my Freeview box.

haha, this is hilarious. Huge backlash eh? Thought NOBODY WOULD LEAVE EHHHH???? Because if you listen to the flowershop, fluffy ponies and tap dancing brigade on here, who detest football and despise people who are passionate about sport, but love Nick HD and see Nick HD and reruns of 24 as suitable replacement for ESPN/No BT Sport then Virgin have actually played a blinder. So I'm told by these lot. Because there is no demand whatsoever for BT Sport, it's GREAT BUSINESS not to get BT Sport I'm told!!! Virgin are much better off without it and only a TINY FRACTION OF THEIR CUSTOMERS WANT BT SPORT, SO THEY SHOULDN'T BOTHER GETTING IT!!!!!

Anyone who saw todays edition of "Doctors" on BBC1 will see that Bomber is running a church in Letherbridge.

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.

As far as I'm aware the position is exactly the same, I met somebody who I thought might know last Sunday evenIng, but there's nothing further to report.

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.

Indeed, which is why no-one appears to be able to obtain any concrete verifiable information.

Darn these pesky people for behahaving in a professional manner :D

I thought that BT Sports was available on UPC Ireland in the Setanta Sports pack? I doubt that UPC will have handed over their customer details...

Yes but BT have bought up the rights to the WTA, so when British Eurosport's contract is up (ends in 2014) BT will have an exclusive upto 2016.

Moto GP on BBC and Eurosport have it until end of this season then exclusive on BT 2014 -2018.

They will not have much left, Aussy Open Tennis and French open shared with ITV.

I do like Eurosport.

Did you know that Sky did part own Eurosport until 1991 before Sky takeover of BSB.

BSB did launch Sky Sports under the name of The Sports Channel.
