Sky press release makes no mention of it being exclusive

Neither does the Sky Atlantic website
http://tv.sky.com/skyatlantic

As far as I know talks are still ''Ongoing'' with BSkyB for Sky Atlantic on Virgin Media but Digital Spy say on October 25th:

From early 2011, Sky Atlantic will launch exclusively on Sky

It cant go to Premier Sports unless BSkyB give up the rights to TNA as Premier Sports is not owned by BSkyB in anyway.

And thou should not question the leader...

The moon is made of cheese... I don't need to back it up with a source or evidence for my statement, I told you this is the case and so it must be true.

Not that I don't trust you but there have been many claims on here that the ITV HD channels were coming before Christmas, ESPN America HD deal is signed, Universal HD was coming before Christmas. Sky News HD, Sky Arts.... sorry, nodded off there trying to remember all the statements posted as fact that fail to materialise.

Media Boy posted a link to a source that said it was going to be exclusive and that has far more weight (even if it is only DigitalSpy!) than an anonymous internet users.

Yup another dig from Sky..

Virgin: "ok..."
Sky: "But your not having our new channel, and we will put all the good stuff on it...ha ha in your face viirgin media"

Seriously Sky are acting childish.

BSkyB are NOT using the word ''exclusive'' on that advert.

So, VM does not receive any of these?
Shall remain on Sky for the foreseeable future (just have 50 MegBB).

Marketing is a wonderful tool.

It's not about having my hopes dashed, it's about not making assumptions about things and presenting them as fact, especially when you have no evidence for it.

Yup, and the advert I just saw on Sky One HD (on Virgin) said it was 'Free and exclusive for all Sky TV customers'...
