Yes his knowledge of TV services is great. His information on Virgin services is weak ( ie Tivo)
Ergo, some one( or even more than one) is winding him up & have a big laugh at him & his disciples.
I would even question if the so called insider is real at all.
I am sorry but if the plebs* were told anything it would also be on Virgins web site & in a press release.
No I get it - Announcement to all staff .Hey guys & girls we are about to sign a new deal with X,Y or Z it will happen in the next 1 to 3 months perhaps. Please do not tell any one.
I can just see any business doing that !! & its the way MB says it happens.
Or perhaps someone is hacking into the CEO pc and looking. Passing on what he/she sees to him.
Sorry what I see is an attention seeker feeding at best a guess at worse complete rubbish to people looking for a straw

If that is how you feel, it may be in your interests to participate in other thread/s that meet your needs and/or interest yourself as an alternative to this one :-)
Re: Current channel negotiations. I do concur with your view that any person employed by any party partaking in these alleged negotiations would be foolish to risk disciplinary action (up to and including dismissal) for the sake of disobeying a management instruction not to pass on very commercially sensitive information that may leave either company open to the threat of legal action for damages and/or breach of contract.
This level of security is unprecedented and is highly unusual, so it is quite feasible that Media Boy would be able to obtain a "heads up" regarding channel launches.
