I did not intend my comment to make this a Virgin V Sky thread.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
My point is that most large corporates have a lot of long-term bonds and debt, and I was using a company (Sky) in the same line of business as an example, and also quoted it's parent (mostly) company.
Another example would be BT, who have a around £3 billion in bonds/debts, as well as nearly $5 billion and €3.5 billion in other bonds and debts.

LOL, Very creative Hugh You can't be "mostly" a parent company you either are or you aren't and Newscorp are not Skys parent company. Another member of Murdochs empire left the Sky board of directors this week. So their influence is slowly becoming less and less.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
It would appear BSKYB and Miramax films have signed an exclusive multi-year content deal.
