Don't know if it's exclusive, but Sky customers are currently getting it for free!

I don't know, Dave. It was reported that Disney+ was subject to an exclusivity deal, but no-one seems to be that sure about that either.

I think Sky would go for that if it kept their rivals out of the picture for a while.

As far as I recall Sky has a year's exclusivity for Discovery+ as a UK TV Platform, but that still means it can be on Mobile/Tablet & via website, it only stops it being on likes of VM and Roku in UK for 12 months.

Apparently, Nat Geographic & Nat Geographic Wild are also due to close in the coming months.

Forty five days before the carriage contracts & sponsorship deals expire there is expected to be a further announcement.

Like the Fox shutdown, it’s already been internally announced and all new programming will go to Disney+.

Ta. :)

I wish Disney+ had cards in shops like Netflix and NowTV. Anyhoo, I'm going off topic.

Let me repeat this one more time .l do not have any BT Sports channels . They are not discounted off they are not available. Arranged a deal for premier sports after it was listed as "free" posted this before. Have not spoken to them since happened as it was very clear that should l change it was gone. Wanted it for pro 14 only . If it loses that then back on the phone. :D sorry tried to work out how to get a screen shot on to this .Guess l will wait until granddaughter is back ( how do l get a URL for a photo on my tablet ? )

Thanks. I knew about that, but it's no use. The whole point, for me, is to avoid using card details, which isn't possible with a digital item.

They have to be physical items to be of interest to me.

It's probably old news and has been posted before but the replacements for the Sony channels on Virgin Media have been announced.

So, really a cut and paste of "Sony" with "Great!" and business as normal?

Yeah, pretty much, but with an App push.
