Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 1

...and besides, Malone controls Discovery and Discovery now owns the majority shareholding of Eurosport giving Malone control of that too, although I suppose Premier could be merged with Eurosport to make it stronger.

Maybe we will see the missing Viacom channels from the MTV suite coming to VM as Viacom seek to negate declining audiences for their channels?

Which are we missing?
We'd get the missing channels today if VM paid for them. With Viacom now owning Channel 5 we have to wait and see what reorganisation, if any, that Viacom do to their large bouquet of UK owned channels.

And talking of reorganisations, the media were saying last week that Viacom and CBS are to be merged back together again. I don't see how this will affect anything as they have the same owner, Sumner Redstone, in any case.
