Sorry bud.

I really couldn’t share the information I had as I’d agreed not to disclose details when I took part in the research group. I did post a few hints about the channel about 6 weeks ago but couldn’t go into detail.

I wasn’t the only member of Cable Forum privy to the information. A few members have known details of this channel and it's content since the end of June.

Really? Its exactly the things Bravo was showing before it shut down, don't know what else you'd expect it to show.

I bet the WWE will be pleased with TNA going back to payTV anyway.

This is most likely wishful thinking, but the article inferred that Sky were keen for VM to carry Bravo, but VM weren't playing ball ATM.

Maybe VM are saying, yeah, we'll have Bravo on condition that you let us have Atlantic? But as I say, probably wishful thinking on my part.

VM: "I'll look after your Fiesta, but only if you give me the keys to your Ferrari as well. Deal?
Sky: "**** off."

I've never ever watched any male oriented channel. I dont know whether that says anything about the channel or about me more....

l don't blame Virgin at all because if Sky said would you take our new channel Sky Bravo and then Sky turned round and said that you can't have Sky Atlantic and my answer would be get real.

If Sky said, you can have our new channel, and Virgin said, yes, but only if we get sky atlantic, sky would say..get real.

that sounds more like it

The whole point of this thread is to give people a heads up to forthcoming changes/channels.

It seems hypocritical to avail oneself of the information supplied by others, whilst personally witholding information at the same time.

Don't you think that others take risks to provide information on here or to MB?

One HD (and SD) channel that I doubt will be coming to VM is Arise News HD. It was showing a testcard for two days, so was removed from tbe Sky EPG today. There have now been reports that the owner has not been paying his staff.

Bravo was good for international football before it closed. Hope they bring back some of the good times.

Are VM going to release a statement anytime soon saying what is going on with the acquisition of BT Sports, as this starting to become pathetic on their behalf.

Also, has anyone spoke to VM about the situation, and were they offered anything for the inconvenience?

that's the 64 million dollar question all we can do is wait till it comes and they cant say anything to a deal is done or all talks have broken down

[Doug P]

Again if there is nothing to say what can they say? If the talks have collapsed would think they will say so especially as they seem to be letting people out of contracts....
