There was some criticism earlier in the thread about how Sky News might cover the VM & Sky Spat, but what they did cover was balanced and professional.
I also think VM have come across as being incredibly childish throughout the negotiations using emotive and aggressive language. Finally, I could not believe it when they changed the Sky News channel name to Old Sky Snooze. I can only reason that they were trying to devalue the channel and imply that it was boring then what does that say about those customers who watch it? As far as I’m concerned the jokes on VM as it just makes them look stupid.

I think the "Old Sky Snooze" just reflects Sky and shows that VM are real people after all, nothing to do with the programming its self.
I did think it was a bit unprofessional but I guess no one will be getting done for conduct lol.
But it could be far worse

I don't know who owns the rights to Virgin One as a brand name but it was still used for a while after the Royal Bank of Scotland took over from Virgin. (Very good account by the way!  ) |
Mate if Virgin Media was planning to launch Virgin 1, Sky would be down the pattent office registering it to try and make yet another obsticle
