To be able to do that with Liberty Global and Virgin Media as partners is exciting.”

“Earlier in the year I said that this would be a big year for TV at Virgin Media and I wasn’t kidding,” declared Virgin Media’s David Bouchier. “Through leveraging Liberty Global’s financial muscle and its investment in world-leading production talent, we’re not only innovating but we’ve taken the exciting leap into commissioning all-important original premium drama, which we know our customers will love.”


Thanks for the article. Looking forward to see what they have up their sleeves
I suspect that this new content will be shown 'on demand' only. This being the case, I think that VM should create a new channel on there to group all their exclusive programmes together. Otherwise, I suspect that most viewers will not watch these programmes, which would be a waste.

For example, how many people have watched 'Kingdom'? If VM advertised it as 'only available on Virgin Premier Television HD on demand' or 'exclusive to Virgin Premier Television HD on demand', this would give all these exclusives in one place and customers would be accustomed to hearing it. This would encourage viewers to seek it out. They should also advertise this generally, not just to Virgin customers, to conjure up new subscribers.

This does seem like a good development and it looks as if there is much more to come. An exciting time to be a VM customer, particularly with a new Tivo just around the corner.
