The situation with VM and VMTV was no different than having BSkyB as a delivery platform and Sky as a broadcaster. It works fine for them!

The situation IS completely different. Sky hold very lucrative premium content and VMtv do not and never have, or shown any signs of wanting to.

I think most people will now accept what some of us accepted long ago that VM do not want a future in content, as per Berkett's statement in the press release.
