Any ideas about what these Promotions could be?
I'd think that it can't be anything big because the Films have the Royalties and such to be paid for.

I think they could offer a half decent deal, i mean when you think of the cash they are now saving from Sky One and what they were prpared to pay for it, it's not like it's going to cost them, they will prolly still walk away with spare cash even after a movie promotion.

The point I make, once again , is you are going to do something do it properly not half-cocked.
The people who are likely to be switchers look at the current day not 1,2,3 months or years in the future.

I understand what you are saying but all i think this does is go to prove further that Virgin did want the channels and it wasn't them who engineered it. They were planning on having the Sky channels and wern't looking to offer any other deals, you could say they should have had a backup plan, but the people they pay at that level aren't cheap and would have been working on this deal and the other numerous ones they have signed recently. I don't really think they have been scratching their behinds!
