Add to that the poor viewing figures attracted by AMC and I would imagine that it was a no-brainer to try and get that channel onto more platforms.

It will be interesting to see Virgins pricing structure after the deal is finalised. Will they leave it in the packages and expect everyone to pay more? Or will they make it a standalone option, in which case how much will it cost and how much will they reduce the cost of packages to reflect it is no longer included?
