Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2

Sticking my head above the parapet here, but its quite obvious, I would have thought, what VM will do with regards to 4k.

John Malone (ultimate owner of VM) has been doing deals left, right and centre for content, with the possibility of larger deals still to come ie full blown merger between his organisation and the likes of Lionsgate, or AMC, or Scripps, or all of them.

But at the moment he controls Discovery who in turn own Eurosport. He controls All3media (who are the largest production company in this country) who announced a recent deal to produce four brand new dramas.

Would it be too outrageous to expect just for once, that the cableco might just launch its own 4k content/channels/vod rather than just relying on Sky/BT/or someone else?

I would suggest its entirely possible, more so if Malone gets his mitts on Formula 1.
