If virgin had sky atlantic..I might consider them as viable...tv content is king

Broadband..not overly concerned (I can survive on any product)...telephone is a joke no matter who offers it

Problem for me..is Virgin are not viable for tv..and they don't seem bothered

On the first point is that SA is highly likely to come sometime in the future and on the third point to think that they are not bothered is simply not the case as the last few weeks have proved.

BT to stop broadcasts of Sky Sports and ESPN on Freeview around May time.

BT are telling viewers of BT Vision that BT will axe Sky Sports 1, Sky Sports 2 and ESPN around May time and broadcast them via broadband.

-ESPN is broadcasting right now on Freeview and BT Vision Channel 34
-Sky Sports 1 is broadcasting right now on Freeview and BT Vision Channel 41
-Sky Sports 2 is broadcasting right now on Freeview and BT Vision Channel 42

Nothing at all from Boxnation or Frank Warren today :(

Keeping an eye on Twitter, Facebook and boxing forums.

Frank Warren revealed on Thursday that an annoucement would be made on Friday. The Telegraph then reported it had been put back until today.

---------- Post added at 20:58 ---------- Previous post was at 20:54 ----------

Noticed some posts on Twitter about Boxnation and the funding announcement.

Tweet to Boxnation:

"any news on this funding announcement from frank warren?"

Boxnation reply:

"you'd have to ask the guys @frankwarren_tv about that one mate."

We will offer BT Sport on Virgin Media if it makes commercial sense to do so

I'd be worried about a company that did anything that didn't make commercial sense.

Err... it's £299.70 a month.

(*Typical figure quoted. Month lengths may go down as well as up)

Its designed for people to dip in and out of sport , maybe a user wants to watch the Grand Prix on Sunday combined with a football match , Sky were never going to make it too cheap and risk people cancelling Sky Sports subs.
