VirginMedia to invest in content again
 

Finally VirginMedia to start investing in exclusive content again. They've bought exclusive UK rights to Ash Vs Evil Dead for VOD - and are looking for more.

Always thought it was big mistake when they sold their TV channels.

Looks like fun, odd that the first 5 episodes are on On Demand though, why not just start broadcasting from the start? Especially with the "Mid Season Break" hiatus we are about to endure.

The reasons on why they sold their content business is why we are receiving Sky's premium channels now and if l had a choice between the two then there is simply no contest.

It wasn't a big mistake and it helped to resolve the crisis with Sky.

Having said that, it's good to see them resurrecting their interest in content and I hope they make up for lost time.

I thought a lot of it was down to James Murdoch leaving Sky - he had been more determined than his predecessors to not give cable any advantages - and Tom Mockridge joining from News Corporation - leading to a less antagonistic relationship between the two.
