Not necessarely

As sky have removed their channels nothing stops VM from upping the cost to Sky on their channels Trouble, Trouble+1, Living TV, +1, 2, Challenge, etc etc

So as Flextech is owned by VM what stops them from putting on a version equivelent to Sky One,

Ok so it wont be the most recent episodes that sky put on, but as you can see already Virgin Central has obtained some programming that was shown on Sky 1

So all that is needed is to show these programmes on it.

Of cause the "Demand list" that this thread is making wont really happen and chances are it wont overnight.

Contracts need drafting up
Staff to power the channel
placing the channel on all headends so all can view
buget to maximum costs for sales on programmes

But a VM sky1 is a possibility that may not lie too distant in the future.
Just dont expect it next month lol

People should remember that Sky can be (and have been) beaten when bidding for programmes. Remember, they lost the first two series of Lost to Channel 4 and the only reason that they have 24 is because the BBC refused to pay as much as fox demanded for what it considered a minority programme. They were also beaten on Friends and (I believe) ER as well.

Sorry if this has already been answered in the thread - I can't be ärsed reading all the posts. So are VM actually doing their own version of Sky One?

As far as I know, no.
