VM is a totally different kettle of fish with its wholesaling of BT I can really see them holding onto this one like what Sky have done with Encore and Atlantic. They are in it to get customers from VM/Sky for their broadbands they arent likely to hand over their baragining chips that easily for a few extra quid on a wholesale agreement

Plusnet includes BT Sport 1 in its basic pack but charges an extra fee for the full BT Sport pack. Neither Plusnet's basic pack or its BT Sport pack currently includes AMC.
Plusnet sells these channels directly to the public so in effect it is acting as a wholesaler like VM. Except Plusnet is owned by BT!
ITV Encore and AMC are different from Sky Atlantic in that they're not owned by broadcasters and have simply taken a sum of money to be exclusive for a period of time.

Any news on ITV Encore anyone? Launched on 9 June 2014. If the period of Sky exclusitivity was for 18 months, it could conceivably launch on other platforms this December. |
