Taking my family and friends as an example I would say it was a 70/30 spit. 70% not bothered and 30% were. I myself was bothered, my mum was bothered as were some others. My sister who has VM wasnt as she didnt really watch them and she binges on Netflix. We all like different things and I think it is a good thing that the channels are back.

However most of my family and friends have Sky so of course they were not bothered.

It may have been a minority kicking up a fuss including myself but social media is powerful and mud sticks and I do think VM has taken some damage to their reputation over this a lot of people remember when the Sky channels were lost and that has been dragged back up again. I am not taking sides I think UKTV And VM were equally to blame and it was handled badly by both sides.
