2. VM didnt get 13 HD channels !!! VM got access to 12 Sky premium channels and 3 SKY HD basics on a 9 year access deal and lets remember this DOES NOT INCLUDE any future SKY owned HD/SD channels. of which only the 12 premium channels have been broadcast to retail.
to be honest a 9 year carrage deal and £160million for all VM`s TV assests is not at all a lot as in the end VM have sold their biggest dealing chip for future deals with SKY.
owning physical asssts has got to be better than a 9 year contract and some petty cash !!!

What a shock. Berkett says "I really don't want to part with these channels" when in actual fact he did.
People involved in selling something, whether it's a second hand car or some tv channels aren't in the habit of saying that they can't wait to get rid of them.
