The strange thing is people on here seem to fall for the same speculation over and over again. Making excuses and bending the truth to try and accommodate their own belief that the channel is coming even thought common sense should tell them not to.

I agree there has been a few articles in the press that would suggest SKY and Virgin are in talks for the channel, and have a better chance than ever in terms of agreeing a deal, however some of those articles are pushing 6 months old now.
Well, on three months we would agree. The thing is, the media is much more credible than these 'insiders' - I don't even know if some of these actually exist or it's a figment of their imagination.

If people think that we cannot have a reasonable conversation on issues that have been the subject of media reports, then what on earth is this thread about?

As I said above, the likely cause of the delay in a launch is the Sky Bravo channel being tagged on to the end of those negotiations. These things take time and I wouldn't be surprised if this hasn't delayed the launch until early in the New Year.

People will complain that 'it was supposed to be autumn, so it can't be true' if these channels do not launch before Christmas, but the BT and Fox fiascos surely prove that channel launches often get delayed. This does not mean that the original information was incorrect though.
