Yes but the channel closed at the same time said wholesale agreement was up, all of this is of no choice to virgin. ESPN shut down and was transferred to a new broadcaster, the existing ESPN contract would be worth diddly-squit.

No they haven't. ESPN have shut down. How is that Virgins decision?
The name ESPN has transferred to BT, therefore any existing contract for ESPN doesn't exist. Again it is not in Virgin Medias control as to whether the channel shut down.
