Would the Premier League be satisfied with a rights holder not offering live coverage of their games to a method of delivery? With the contracts that the Premier League and their clubs have with sponsors, would there be a requirement to make it available on cable? Would sponsors be happy with less publicity?

They do that before every new football season. Not that there's any Premiership football on Sky Sports HD 3 or 4.
Actually, it's amazing the number of non-VM customers who still think Sky Sports isn't available at all on cable.

Interesting article about how BT have only signed up 23,000 new accounts as opposed to talktalk who signed up 160,000. Hopefully puts pressure on BT and gives VM a better position for a better deal.

Well we shall see Dave because Sky have plenty to gain now in doing a carriage deal with Virgin then they had before.

Just been thinking if there are 4 channels testing, there will also be another 4 when ESPN closes

Just 5 working days and then BT Sport launches

If VM are going to put out a press release before it launches they don't have much time left.
