I'm glad you think we'll still be here in 2035. ;)

You do seem not to be capable of sensible debate and for that reason I’ll leave you to it for now. Just know that this is all playing out the way I thought it would. Only the exact end date for terrestrial and satellite broadcasting is not yet known.
OB it comes from your very specific claim that all linear broadcasting* will have ceased by then.

*Linear broadcasting not clearly defined.

Far from having my eyes closed I log into my Peacock TV USA app and see a suite of linear channels, broadcast to a schedule, 24 hours a day in addition to on demand content.

*All* pointless arguments about whether the future of TV is in linear broadcasting, video on-demand, a mixture of both, or something as-yet uninvented, should now take place here.

A very welcome proposition so those of us, today in 2024, with hard disk recorders can ponder whether TV360 is a step backwards from the V6. Which not being able to access recordings when the internet goes does because of arbitrary flags in the cloud it absolutely is.

Premier Sports are set to launch 'Premier Sports Rugby' in November or December.

What will this new channel show?

*Premier Sports will show all 63 games from the Champions Cup
*the Challenge Cup will have two pool matches per round, two from the Round of 16, and all matches from the quarter-finals onwards - building on the 20 Challenge Cup matches it aired last season.
*all 151 URC fixtures
*over 100 TOP14 matches
*Non-live content for the channel is yet to be strategised

CEO Richard Sweeney, at the same briefing as Raynaud, revealed the channel is planned to launch in November or December - with EPCR competitions getting underway on 6/7/8 December.

what do we think the chances are of premier sports remaining in the larger pack on VM? I'd say slim to none but they may be getting a slight boost in adverts...it would involve virgin media to reinvest some of the money they're saving from not having TNT Sports in the top package...which they'll probably just give to the shareholders

Will it was Setanta Sports was first become free to the old XL package.

But due to Setanta going into administration 2009 Setanta can't use that name in the UK so it then owner Michael O'Rourke did launch a Sport channel in the UK called MSK Sports - now known as Premier Sports.

Virgin Media has make the following Sports channels free on it Family pack since 2007 until 2023:

2007 - Setanta Sports UK
2009 - ESPN UK
2013 - BT Sports

No mention of it coming to Virgin though, though I imagine it will.

You obviously know nothing about the sport or you would not make such a statement!
