Just looking at Premier Sports website as they have the NHL rights for the current season and came across this which i'm pretty sure has been added recently, anybody know anything regarding how likely it is we could see PS on VM anytime soon and possibly on XL?

Q: I have Virgin and can’t get Premier Sports? Why should I be unable to watch all the games?

A: Negotiations are ongoing with Virgin and it is hoped progress will be made over the next few weeks. It is important you contact Virgin and let them know you wish our channel to be added.

That might be from last year. Premier Sports had been in prolonged discussions with Virgin but talks broke down. Apparently Premier Sports wanted to be in the XL package whilst Virgin wanted them as a stand alone subscription channel.

The following conversation took place on Facebook 2 days ago between a Virgin customer and Premier Sports.

Virgin customer:-

"Re: Virgin - I "pestered" them, and they said you guys were not willing to be a normal pay channel like most others, but wanted to be included in the XL package. If that's the case, you guys need to start living in the real world and just agree with their terms. You're missing my £10 pm as well as many others by being dicks"

Premier Sports:-

"Happy to be any channel package on Virgin but ask them about the costs to us for providing them with a service."

If you are on Facebook, the following might interest you:

Here is the latest I have - nothing.

But:

Disney Movie Channel HD (I forgot it real name) was listed on Virgin Media.com yesterday.

Virgin Media has sign an new deal with NBC Universal so Universal HD and Style Network may launch in Virgin in the next few months - but no channels launches are plans as far as I know of tonight.

No news update since August 2012 on the missing ITV HD Channels launching.

What family of channels does E! come under? E! HD has become my wifes favourite channel. E! HD would certainly add something to female Virgin customers. Well only those who are wrapped up in American reality pish like my wife!

That is a every interesting quote from Premier Sports, of course we only have there word on that . It would be interesting to here VM's take on that quote.

Very true.

With recent rumours that BT Vision may buy Boxnation, I wonder if they are eyeing up Premier Sports too? Unless Premier Sports launches on other platforms, I can't see the channel growing it's subscription base too much further.
