Johnny Marr spent a couple of years with The Cribs didn't he. Their last album (Ignore the Ignorant) was with Johnny Marr, a bostin album it was too. But it was announced last week that he's left the band now... If anyone's interested? :shrug:

I think I've gone a bit off-topic. Oops..:blush:

VM on Sky Atlantic


Virgin Media said there had been 22% year-on-year growth in the first quarter of the number of customers taking its Sky premium suite of channels, taking the total to about 800,000. O'Hare added that Virgin was no closer to securing a deal to air Sky Atlantic on its service.

"It is not a must have and it is not a must not have," he said. "It is not something sitting on our immediate priority board."

Well he would say that he is not exactly going to tell the competition anything else.

The current rights holder for formula one Bernie Eccleston has always said he took less money for the rights to have a bigger audience on terrestrial tv i suppose as advertising revenue in the sport is high having a big global tv audience helps,but if he sells up well we may see formula one on sky sports sometime in the future due to the sheer size of skys cash pile.

Interesting link though.

On the sky atlantic issue well it will not come to vm until they get the right deal, although anything i really want to see there are other means! or just buy the box set from amazon and cut out the middleman (tv channel):)

This is what angers me about VM, it has already been stated on DS that Sky offered Atlantic at a reasonable price, but VM said it was expensive.

VM cannot expect to get channels on the cheap, at the end of the day, we are the paying customers and will pay at the end of the day, Companies are in business to make money, so therefore if VM want to be a force in the Tv industry, which is what VM then they have to provide what the customer wants.

With lack of new channels for 9 months it looks like there no closer to securing any deal for new channels let alone sky atlantic,All they seem to be securing is chargeable content at the moment.Looks like coming soon is going to continue:(
