Not unsurprisingly, Virgin Media are disputing what Ginx have said:

They say that they reviewed the performance of the channel and terms put forward by Ginx and decided not to continue with carriage. Like the recent UKTV dispute, they can't both be right.
This suggests to me that it was the poor performance of the channel, coupled with what they were asking in carriage fees, that led to VM pulling out.
GINX is one of the lowest rated channels in the UK, so you are not alone Sirius.
From 1st-7th October, the top rated show had only 400 viewers, and just 6000 people watched the channel in the whole week according to BARB.
I can't help but wonder if, following the UKTV & ITV disputes, this is Sky trying it on or firing a warning shot to VM before the forthcoming Sky carriage renewal discussions start. They will know full well that VM won't want any more negative press concerning high profile channel removals
