Virgin Media spokesperson disagreed with the Ginx analysis: “We met all of our commitments set out under our former agreement with Ginx Esports TV. After reviewing the performance of the channel and considering the terms Ginx put forward we chose not to renew our agreement. We wish Ginx Esports TV all the best for the future.”


It should be noted that GINX only has SD distribution over Sky.
On the plus side, the channel being removed from Virgin should not adversely impact ratings since most of their programmes get offically *no viewers* according to BARB.
