No you said it was cobblers about nowtv being on eetv. Well that's what it looked like to me anyway.
You have no proof either that vm weren't offered it or SKYs carriage fee being too high, oh wait my bad VM said so so it must be true as golden sun shines out of backside VM wouldn't lie now would they?

I think the BT Sport contract expires in 2018 doesn't it? |

The evidence that Sky's asking price for Sky Atlantic being unviable is that no companies have signed deals with Sky. TalkTalk hasn't. Magnet and Eir in Eire hasn't. And when they were not part of Virgin Media, Smallworld and UPC Ireland hadn't either. So bags of evidence to support megaposter denphone I'm afraid.

Agreed. Fox will have a big loan to pay off as they are not issuing shares to buy Sky. They will want Sky to be as profitable as possible to help pay the debt off. |
Yes we must believe this as VM wouldn't lie now would they?
TT aren't even relevant i doubt they'll be around much longer the way they're allegedly losing customers.
