How is:
1. Launching all the above channels
2. Buying Smallworld
3. Buying 50% of All3Media (Skins, Hollyoaks, Towie, Undercover Boss)
4. Upgrading network to 150 Mb
5. Being Official Partner of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow
Scrimping?
I can't see it myself, and I'm not pretending VM is perfect.
VM lost content leadership of the on-demand content market when it was independent. LGI needs to regain the lead in this area.
