Nothing like exaggerated media hyperbole which was in overdrive these past three weeks.

It's good that the channels are back, but I still believe that this has damaged VM and will continue to do so for a long time. The UKTV channel and ITV disputes have drawn to the attention of the public and reinforced the fact that VM is the most vulnerable popular patform to be affected by channels being pulled. Their appalling PR didn't help either.
Absolutely no proof of that from what l see currently Richard.
