Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.

I doubt we'll see BT Sport on VM.

The purpose of the exercise from BTs point of view is to establish a relationship with the end user so that they can attempt to flog them broadband and phone services too. Unlike ESPN, BT want to handle the billing themselves. I'm not sure that VM would be happy to allow them to collect the details of lots of their customers.

It'd be like a turkey voting for Christmas.

In my opinion BT may be looking at VM customers as easier to 'chip off' than Sky's because many of us see VMs broadband as the deciding factor. Now that BT also has fibre broadband to offer we might be ripe for the picking, particularly if we can't access BT Sport.

Pure speculation, but worth a thought.
