Re: Sky Atlantic on Virgin Media

From a customer point of view, I always go for more choice is good. But regardless of what happens there is always Astraweb.

I won't be at all surprised to find many new US programmes that previously would have been screened on Sky1 now finding their way on to Atlantic instead.
Sky would need to be careful, as the vmtv deal included carriage rights to sky one, so shifting all new programming onto Sky Atlantic could incur regulatory scrutiny. I suspect Sky Atlantic will just be for HBO stuff, but who knows for sure.
