Re: Virgin Media & UKTV+ITV Channels

Erm.. no. But good work assuming, there.

I do not believe either side it 100% telling the truth. I'm not one of those who thinks UKTV are angels, and that every new channel added as a replacement is shit. I've quite enjoyed Vice, Paramount and Love Nature for instance.

I think the timing of this tweet - 5.30pm, just as the Virgin corporate team no doubt go home for the weekend and hence a reply will be slow to come - is suspect. That being said, I'd probably do the same myself if I was in their shoes and trying to get my channels back on air...

Just a few examples, there. But equally, people have kept asking UKTV for updates. There's been many tweets directed at them as such today alone. Either you go the Virgin route - five statement s copied and pasted to death - or you try sharing actual news like UKTV have. Yes, a one sided version of it, but they're one of the sides, so it's not like they'd say 'we're being a bit dickish really'.

Despite all the hot air from certain individuals, it seems very few have actually cancelled their virgin subs.
In a world full of bizarre opinions, declaring news on the negotiations between UKTV and Virgin Media off topic for a forum on Virgin Media may be a new peak.

I mean, it's literally there in the title of the topic. If you want to not read about it, then you could just ignore this thread and read all the other ones..
