Cable Forum - Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.

Arthur, as has been pointed out to you repeatedly, Sky Atlantic is "exclusive to Sky" - it is their prime marketing point at the moment, and they aren't sharing it with BT or VM.

They are in talks with Virgin Media.

And, as has been pointed out to you repeatedly, are marketing it to Sky customers as "exclusive to Sky"......

At the moment and that can change quickly and it's not been withheld.

That reply is what is known as a "placeholder" - it is meaningless.

You and I are in discussion/talks at the moment, but we are going nowhere.;)

Link is dated August - talks going well then, especially as Sky told their customers this month that Atlantic is exclusive to them.

The frontline teams get told about any new channels the same time as customers do

So any 'I got told by an agent'...are made up

If/when Virgin get Sky Atlantic there will be a press release just as there was for Sky Anytime and the UKTV channels
