I find this very worrying. It was speculated that new Sky channels would be offered to VM as part of the Sky deal that VM agreed earlier. Now I hear that Sky are advertising the new channel as 'exclusive to Sky'. Of course, it may be exclusive just for the first week but I have a bad feeling about this. We need the courts to resolve this issue about rights. It's certainly not fair that one rich programme provider can buy up all the decent American programmes on an exclusive basis and then not even offer the channels to other operators. How is that good for the consumer? I'm spitting blood tonight having read this, I can tell you.
