You are ignoring the fact that VM can fund its operations via its current revenue stream. If that wasn't the case you wouldn't see the core infrastructure investment plus operational investment that VM have consistently made since its inception as a media co.

Carriage rights and contracts can take a long time to agree. So new channels could be coming and VM could have been talking to other parties for a long time for all we know.
VM isn't really that in debt. A lot of companies are operating in debt these days.

No i am aware the deal was done last year but the channel took 9 months to appear! wether that was down to finances i do not know for sure,but it seems an awfully long time to me.
I know carriage rights can take a long time no argument there but it was rumoured at least 2 years ago that History HD ws in negotiation they must have fallen asleep,as i say iam happy with my channel selection now though.
