In my opinion VM will add Sky Atlantic at some point soon and I don't buy into Sky launching another Entertainment channel their content would be spread way to thinly. |
I hadn't even heard of Networks of Power until I read your post, but having just read a synopsis of it I would have watched it if it were available to me. I would argue that some of the programming on Sky Atlantic doesn't really fit with the popular perception of its actual purpose, which is for most people to show US, and more specifically hbo, content.
I've said before, and I genuinely mean it, that I'm not really fussed about the channel itself. I watched the whole first series of Game of Thrones when it was recently on Sky 1. It should, on the basis of other things I like to watch, have been right up my street but I found myself in a minority of one who didn't like it. And besides, I have plenty to watch without it. To that end I would rather the ESPN money was spent on sport content - but not Bt sports. Every xl customer should get approx. £ 10 discount on Sky Sports, or the hd sub for free. Firstly this would cement the relationship with Sky by making their sports channels more attractive to Virgin customers and increasing the revenue from Sky's largest wholesale customer, and secondly, since not every xl subscriber would take up the offer, it would still leave Virgin with some spare cash for channel acquisitions.
