Part of thinks it may come soon. This is not based on any evidence other than sky have had it exclusive for a while, the impact of it is dwindling, they need additional advertising funds to add to the coffers for EPL bid, now tv has taken off for people who wanted Atlantic that way, a few people get sky tv for Christmas so announcing it coming to VM in January after that's all died down makes sense. Plus it would make sense as to why sky sports news and sky news hd were kept back till new year

Keep the contract secret, wait till the Christmas now tv and sky subscriptions have died down and then in January you can have the lot... Would make sense for the price increase?

Fantasy? A nonsense theory? Who knows! I'm sure the adventure we will embark on next year on here will be wild enough ..
It's not a nonsense theory at all, Vince, and in fact I have been saying this, much to the annoyance of a sector of this forum, for some time.

However, the talks that have taken place with Sky have been in secret and so it is impossible for anyone to say for sure, but I think things started to change last year, and the results of these negotiations may well be seen next month. If my suspicions are correct, we should be getting all the missing Sky channels, including Atlantic and Sky 1+1.

However, if this doesn't happen early in the New Year, I think I will finally have to concede defeat on this theory which is based on earlier reports that have been discussed in this forum. I do think these reports have some basis in fact but I won't be able to prove this until it happens.
