Less that three years later, they don't think the channels are worth it!

If the agreement was made in October 2016, It was an unusual contract length to end tomorrow.
I don't think it was unusual really, Richard. It may well be that viewing figures on these channels have slumped so badly that they were no longer seen as being worth the money.

However, it could be about other things that Virgin want out of this deal that Viacom are holding out on. It may relate to the fact that VM want all the channels in HD only for the same price, or perhaps additional on demand content, who knows?

Whatever it is, let's hope Virgin manage to get what they want for our benefit.

After all that, it may not be worth worrying about.

By late morning on Friday, the website had been removed and a Virgin spokesperson was able to confirm that the channels would be remaining on air on Virgin Media, with "constructive" discussions with Viacom continuing.
