Whether or not a deal is done may well depend on how badly Sky want their Bravo channel on VM.
I don't know on what basis you say that the two matters are not connected. Of course they are, VM will make sure of that!

Don't think channels, Dave, think content!

When company X wants something from company Y and company Y wants something from company X, surely you have to be a little blinkered to think there is no connection. These sorts of deals which to the untrained eye are unconnected can suddenly reveal themselves as being the key elements in a negotiation.

Surely an article in The Guardian is more credible than the rumour mill on this forum. I wouldn't discount it that easily - no news is good news. To discover talks have broken down (and this hasn't been reported anywhere to my knowledge) has an air of finality about it. So as far as we know, negotiations continue.

and when company x wont let anyone have the thing company y wants what can company y do about it absolutely nothing you have to stop kidding yourself OB
