Cable Forum - View Single Post - Virgin Media to auction off the best slots on its TV guide

The article states it's for vacant slots only - its been a while since i had Virgin TV, but apart from 106 I can think of any in the entertainment section, and only a handful in the music section (old on demand slates). So unless Virgin are planning a reshuffle, I'd imagine that this is posturing ahead of potential negotiations with ITV regarding retransmission fees.
I.e., if you want to be paid retransmission fees, you'll need to bid for slot 103.
