I think Virgin adding some 'poor' channels (Shopping Channels, Food Network and more) and putting the prices up early this year pays for the new channels that Virgin have added in 2013.
Virgin still need to pay ESPN up until July 31st.
They will start reusing that money in August.
What will Virgin do???
I think pay Sky more for all the missing channels (Sky News HD) or sign new deals with other broadcasters.
Keep an eye on the Coming Soon to Virgin TV thread.
