Unless you're a broadcaster, it's probably hard to judge whether they're good or bad to deal with and I doubt any broadcaster would go on record with negative feedback!
In a way it could be harder as there's no market so it is down to your product and your negotiating position. Unlike satellite where you bid for EPG slots, buy regulated EPG info and buy satellite capacity.
But dealing with VM could be easier as there is just one entity to deal with. And dealing with VM could also open the doors to other cable networks in Europe saving broadcasters time and money. And VM can move swiftly; let's not forget the BT Sport deal was only signed the night before the channels went live!
