Well, if Atlantic coming will shut people up moaning then fine let it launch. But not for me, I won't watch it.

surely sky are losing money by not offering SA with the loss of advertisement money and the loss of a contract with VM. i still can't see people choosing sky over vm purely for one channel. i could be wrong. daft decision

Sky though are prepared to lose money keeping this channel to themselves as they see it as a driver of new subscribers and keeping the subscribers they have.

I honestly don't base my TV watching on viewing figures if I did I'd probably be dissapointed tuning into EastEnders.:D

Interesting fact is quite a few of Sky's shows on Living and Sky One don't get linear viewing figures of over a million despite showing more family orientated content and being available on multiple platforms.

I don't either MM mate but if it was true what sky claim that's it get sky lots of customers surely it get lot more viewers than it does especially with the muti millions they spent overhyping it that's point I was making all good banter
