To me Sky Atlantic's ratings are pretty much the same in comparison to other non-terrestrial channels, and take on board that Sky Atlantic is available to Sky punters only and not 4 million Virgin customers as well as Freeview the ratings might well show some improvement if they were.

No pay to watch channels are going to show multi-million ratings.

Good find.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.

Trying not to criticise vm,but they decided to move out of the channel owning and content business.Meaning they have to rely on other companys(ie sky amongst others) to provide them with content and channels,Now there claiming sky atlantic to expensive.What`s there excuse regarding Universal Hd,You start to wonder if they are expecting channels on the cheap.If that`s the case were gonna struggle to see any new channels for the forseable future.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.

Hi

My name is Kirsty, I am writing in regards to the email you sent Neil Berkett, the Chief Executive of Virgin Media.

I am going to contact another department today to enquire about some of the channels that you mentioned and will contact you tomorrow.

Thank you for your time in regards to this.

Kind regards

Kirsty

Hi
I have spoke to the relevant department and it has not been confirmed at the moment if we will be getting the channels that you mentioned in your email. As Sky own their channels they need to release the rights to give Virgin Media the ability to broadcast these channels. We are in talks with Sky about giving us the rights to some more Sky channels however no decision has been made over this as of yet.

We are always looking at ways to improve our service and add channels that are on demand so feedback about channels that customers want is very valuable to us and is fed back to the relevant department.

You can keep an eye on what Virgin Media are offering by looking on our website: http://my.virginmedia.com/home/index

Thank you for your time and I hope this clarifies the situation.

Kind regards

Kirsty
