That's one of the frustrating things with VM, new channels launch on every provider except for VM and there is never any comment. I appreciate the sensitivities of contract negotiations but even an acknowledgement to say 'we are in discussions' or something of the like.

I understand the closed platform explanation but surely this disadvantages VM themselves (and in turn their customers) if channels can easily get an EPG slot on other providers?
