Very interesting indeed.

Noticed the guy, James Gordon, who has tweeted is the managing director of Sportbox Media. Why would this be of interest I hear you ask. Well Sportbox Media appear to be in charge of selling advertising on Premier Sports during the rugby world cup!

Sportbox Media have put feelers out on their Twitter feed:

"Want to advertise your company during television coverage of @RLWC2013 on Premier Sports? Contact us for details."

So I'm pretty sure James Gordon will have a good idea of what is happening behind the scenes, and will be desperate for confirmation that the channel will be on Virgin Media real soon. More potential viewers will make it easier for him to sell advertising slots. I think Premier Sports being free on Virgin Media during the Rugby World Cup is a very real possibility.
