who is in charge of virgin media channel acquisitions?? I'm asking this question due to the fact i'm concerned they've fallen into a coma or have passed away.

Before i get told "there are channels launching vince" i know that but they're +1 channels or HD versions and the only reason we're getting them is due to the contract being up for renewal.

"HI virgin want to sign up same terms"
"sounds easy enough"
"you get more +1 channels and a HD version we just launched"
"yeah"
"ok see you in 3 years"

Any new channels? nah of course not the channel acquisition bloke is sleeping as new channels knock on the door desperately trying to make a new deal.

Before you state

"but vince they may be asking for a lot and virgin are trying to keep our prices down!!!1"

OUR PRICES HAVE GONE UP BY LIKE A TENNER IN A YEAR.

All virgin are interested is increasing their profit lines. So obviously this new company are looking to sell up by the sound of it and make a tidy profit. Don't get me started on saying its due to broadband work as i've had a utilsation problem for over a year

We cant even get channels which are on blooming freeview! It must be the easiest discussion ever

"hi we're on freeview so we wont be asking for the world...just this amount"
"*gentle snoring*"
(the acquisation man dreams of spending no extra money on channels and putting bills up to a wonderful s%xual profit for his shareholders and maybe a big company buying him out)

and before you say "if youre that unhappy maybe leave". i'm not that unhappy really its just bothers me no new channels are coming except regional channels which they have to show and different variations of current channels. something dodgy is going on by this lack of spending and bills going up.
