Virgins Response

Tom Mockridge, Virgin Media’s chief executive officer, said: "The law requires public service broadcasters to make some channels available to cable and satellite companies and equally requires that we make them available to our subscribers. This system has worked well for decades. Viewers already pay one TV tax. ITV is asking for another.”
