Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. IV
 

A poster on DS said he had emailed VM and they said they were in negotiations with Sky but that Sky weren't willing to give them the channel.

Has anybody on here emailed VM and got this response?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. IV
 

Given that the channel isn't launching until 2011, there may not be a carriage announcement until nearer launch. Or it may launch as a Sky Exclusive for a month or two and then we get it. Or we may only get the SD version. Or nothing.

I'm not panicking about Mad Men season five yet as that won't arrive until summer 2011, possibly even later - in a NYT interview with creater Weiner last week he said it hasn't been renewed yet and he's not even started thinking about it.

I've just emailed Mr Berkett - will let you know if I get a response. I don't like going to alternative means for my TV but Mad Men is such an outstanding show I would make an exception for it.

Could it not just a a rebranding on Bravo as Sky Atlantic at the same time Living becomes Sky Living and the channel numbers change on Sky.

If there were the case would they need to do any negotiations as we already have Bravo

In the same way Hallmark 'closed' and Universal launched the other week

Oh and what happened to the closing of some MTV owned channels to make way for BET and things... Did new channels appear or just the old ones disappear?

I now have Demand Five in catch-up. Good selection of programmes in there.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. IV
 

Not seen so much of the virgin insiders on this thread lately. I wonder if Virgin found out who they were and told them to stop.
I liked to read their contributions to the "coming soon" thread.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. IV
 

I think the Universal deal is brilliant. That replaces HBO. Lets concentrate on the positive. Sky is just anti competative. One day someone will sort them out.

Lets riot and we'll be the someone :D
