Thank you for giving me that link and what you say is perfectly reasonable. As you say, channels launch on Sky and some arrive on cable later.

However. Faze TV confirmed a launch date many months ago and ntl would have been aware of this. Therefore a deal could have been sorted out by now if ntl had been interested in taking the channel. ntl WILL make money out of it from every person who subscribes becasuse it is a premium service and given that this channel is not only a UK first but also serving a niche which doesn't have its own channel with varied content (rather than the 18s of Gay TV or the dating services) and also serving a specific audience which subscribes to ntl which one would asusme ntl doesn't want to annoy and loose, one would think they would be interested in carrying Faze TV. Guess I'm wrong.
