It's a tad optimistic for a channel, only providing 2 hours of output per week, to be suggesting that they hope to expand to Freeview and Virgin Media. There's a lot of other shopping channels on Sky, the first hurdle they have to clear is actually being noticed. It remains to be seen whether or not they will stand out from the crowd.

Aye, they are being rather optimistic aren't they!

The Content Acquisition teams are already merged, but shared content only makes sense for markets with similar culture and language, e.g. UK/Ireland, Germany/Austria/Switzerland, and Belgium/Netherlands.
I can't see much call for Romanian channels in Puerto Rico ;)

That's what I was thinking. Maybe MB meant standardisation between VM, UPC and Smallworld?

Interesting, they did say that some content would be cable exlusive. BFBS radio is on DAB, don't think it's on VM though.
I do wonder if the TV version will be encrypted to all but forces personnel though. An ex army person once told me that (due to rights issues) there were large notices outside the TV recreation room stating that non army employees were forbidden from watching the channel dedicated to the armed forces.
Our own Sirius and Hugh are ex forces, I wonder if they or any other members who are ex military can confirm this? |
