Maybe other platforms simply cannot afford to offer it. DF's comments were interesting on that point.

I don't really have anything further to add, if you indeed find evidence it is being withheld I am really interested to know as it will clear up all sorts of misunderstandings about THAT press release.

If they are negotiating then Stuart Murphy shouldn't be announcing it as an exclusive weeks before the channel starts broadcasting. The adverts wouldn't be saying exclusive. Also Sky would be saying what they said during the Sky basics dispute "we are still negotiating". Even on twitter Sky are telling cable customers it's not going to launch on VM.
I know it isn't going to launch on cable, but I don't know, and you don't know, why.

You have failled to provide proof it is being withheld simply because there is none.

That really is my last comment until you prove otherwise, 100 house points if you can.
