I know you want some news, we all do, but until the deal is done, e-mailing them is pointless (as your latest response confirms)!
My compliant was about the lack of communication and patronizing comment about getting our fix from Eurosport and about my suggestion that customers get given the choice to pay extra for content such as Premier Sports and BT rather than have no choice as VM attempt to hold out (and not get) better deals.

I think that was worth a reply from VM, even if you don't.

I'm not overly concerned either way. But if they were to eat their shorts, I'd be looking for shares in the edible underwear company :D

It's not patronising though, it's true! I really don't know what you expect from Virgin until the negotiations with BT are concluded or in advance of a period of contractual confidentiality.

Write to them if you must, but you are wasting your time. We'll know soon enough.

No, because beIN Sport will have the Premier League (secondary) rights by then.

What's making me laugh is that VM or Liberty Global have still not answered my email about BT Sport.

IF, they are controlled by the stock exchange or whatever. At the end of the day its still US, that has to foot the bill.

They have also introduce another Asian channel to the network, do the staff at VM go home at night with a plaster stuck over there mouth or do they sign the official act.

SIX DAYS TO GO.

As far as I know BT are still in talks with Virgin - have not seen anything new since August 7th.
