Nice if you subscribe to Prem Spts and like Scottish football

A bit random for a thread called ‘Changes to Virgin TV’

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Isn't Premier Sport on vm?

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Yes. But the topic of this thread isn't about specific TV listings. MB likely accidentally posted on this thread rather than the Sport News thread, and subsequently did copy and paste it there.

If it were Premier Sports are adding on-demand content to VM for the first time, starting with those listed matches, then that would fit this thread.

Sky Arts to be free

Yes, I'm pleased that Sky are setting their sights on more quality content. Good for them.

Tell the truth you are spewing.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Courtesy of the a regular changes thread on the official Sky forums Sky2, which had already been reported as renaming as Sky Replay, is changing name on Thursday 27th August.

The description is "Replay and enjoy your favourite shows on Sky Replay, a handpicked selection of comedy and drama from Sky One and Sky Witness."

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Presumably, this is because there isn't anything new to show.

However, surely all this content is available on-demand?

Like most linear channels , I think the days of linear sports channels are numbered. If DAZN’s proposed UK and international launch is successful, I could see them pouncing on major rights including Champions/Europa Leagues, Matchroom Sport events etc. They’ve already hoarded rights in Germany, so it could possibly happen in order to compete with Sky and Eurosport in several European countries.

Isn't live sport linear anyway.....

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Are Sports linear channels days numbered ? I'd say if anything they are the safest with live events.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

A large part of the attraction of most sports is the fact that are live, especially tournaments and leagues.

Whether it is delivered by cable/satellite/aerial/IPTV is a different debate but I think most people acknowledge that given the country's infrastructure, all have a role to play for some time.

That would be the same DAZN that has the begging bowl out just to stay afloat. Their US operation is on the verge of collapse, The boxing adventure (while good news for Eddie Hearn's accounts) is struggling to make the numbers, or the fights, that Showtime, ESPN and Fox are doing.
