In fact regardless of what Virgin think, do customers think the loss of ESPN from XL will be a significant loss?

“If we and/or Virgin Media Payments:
J3b) make significant changes to the services so the services you are entitled to receive in return for the charges you pay are significantly altered or reduced you may cancel those services affected without penalty by giving us and/or Virgin Media Payments (as applicable) at least 30 days' notice” |
The going rate to subscribe to ESPN is £10 (or is it £11) per month via Sky or Freeview (BT Vision or Top-Up TV) Take that from the difference between L and XL TV packs and I'd say you have a 'significant change' in the value of the XL pack.
Looking at the VM website channel list, I would guess that the number of programmes that I've watched on XL only channels apart from ESPN in the last year could be counted on the fingers of one hand. So it's not all bad news for the BT Sports channel, it can easily be afforded. Not sure it'll be good news for VM though.
