What it suggests to me is that as now, it is true. It may not be true in a couple of weeks.

VM and Disney have been reported to have been in talks about it so that's not impossible. I would put its chances higher than Sky Atlantic.

Well I have it on good authority - via Phunkenstein Sources - that they were in discussion but it all ended it up a rather nasty fight over refresh rate.

As a result both Virgin and Disney were asked to settle their differences by nominating a champion to fight to the death (and favourable contract terms). Virgin chose Richard Branson while Disney asked Johnny Depp however Keith Richards turned up in his stead (nominated as proxy by Johnny) and as we know, Keith cannot be killed by conventional weapons... therefore Virgin backed down and agreed to reconvene talks at a more convenient time.

But apart from that I have no idea when Disney will appear on Virgin Media.

Quite possibly but I still think it’s the most credible thing said on here about Disney Plus.
