VM are just lazy or not bothered about tv imo, ok they may be struggling to get channels but they could counter this by negotiating on demand deals with US broadcasters for example Salem on WGN America hasn't been picked up by a uk network vm could go for on demand rights, the fosters on abc family another show not picked up by a uk network that vm could go for for on demand rights.
Also they could talk to networks such as NBC, FX, FOX about getting their back library of classic shows onto vms on demand platform.
VM could boost their on demand content greatly by doing little things like this but instead they are just burying their heads in the sand eventually they will get left too far behind which would be quite damaging for vm as customers will go elsewhere to get tv content.
