then again it could turn into a sort of BBC SHOWCASE channel ,who knows another wait & see

Given the (current) bandwidth limitations of Freeview, the BBC may feel the need to keep BBC HD to show selected programmes from each of the HD variants of BBC One, Two, Three, Four, CBBC etc.

Whilst I doubt we'll get it in HD, I can't see the reason why we won't get the SD version. Sky customers will be happy with the HD exclusive, advertisers will be satisfied with the same exposure they get with the rest of the Sky channels.
I'm sorry, I wouldn't trust a DS article to confirm today's date, never mind the future carriage details of a television channel. |
Yes, I think the confusion that people are experiencing is that the HBO content is exclusive to the Sky Atlantic channel but that does not mean that Sky Atlantic will be exclusive to the BSkyB platform in either SD, HD or even 3D.

I know I have raised this before so sorry for labouring the point but haven't VM already said that they can carry any of Sky's basic HD channels for an incremental wholesale fee? If that is the case why would they need a new carriage deal, don't they have one for 9 years?

the 9 year deal is for arts and sky one i believe they had a clause to get any new one hence why sky sports news hd keeps getitng said to come but i aint seent he contract so i cant be sure nither has my source they can only confirm that the basics which we have now and confirmed to launch in the future will be for 9 years

I would be very surprised if the contract didn't cover new channels, VM would be mad to only sign up for a 2010 portfolio of channels for 9 years and they clearly are not mad. I have a feeling it must come down to cost, while they don't charge extra for basic HD channels I can't see how they can just keep adding them and instead have to be a bit selective. I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. IV
I have just been looking at the BARB figures for the week ending 17/10/10 http://www.barb.co.uk/report/weeklyTopProgrammes?_s=4
ITV2 HD highest viewing figure for that week was 13,000, the rest are are not great either 5,000 makes it in at number 10. I cannot see ITV wanting to keep it exclusive to Sky for to long with those figures!
