So the ruling has nothing to do with Virgin's carriage terms for Sky Sports, which includes not just Sky Sports 1 and 2 but 3, 4, 5 and F1 too, all in HD |
Nope, VM will lose the right to carry Sky Sports 1 and 2 when their carriage agreement ends.
Carriage beyond this will be subject to normal commercial negotiation. VM can no longer use the must offer ruling and associated rate card for the fees.

I wonder if the sale of the VM channels to Sky played any part too.
