Virgin Media want to be multi-SVOD aggregator but rules out deal with Amazon.

Tom Mockridge, CEO at Virgin Media, confirmed that the company views itself as an SVOD aggregator, although he ruled out a deal with Amazon, apparently on the grounds that they are competitive. “Amazon is a terrific business but fundamentally they are a retailer and we are a retail business.”

The experience in Ireland is that people are still watching plenty of (traditional) television. “Customers always want news, sport and local content, which they do not get on Netflix,” Hanway said. “They are complementary, and we have not seen cannibalisation [of viewing from the rest of the bouquet].” That would suggest that overall viewing is up.
