Ofcom: Sky breached code over Virgin promos

From Digital Spy:

Sky breached Ofcom's broadcasting code when it ran on-screen promotions about its carriage dispute in February and March 2007, the regulator announced today.

On March 1 last year, Sky's basic channel package - including Sky News and Sky One - disappeared from Virgin Media's digital cable service after the two parties were unable to reach a new carriage agreement.

It's Skys clever marketing over the years... most people say Sky when they really mean Satellite...
