Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III. - Page 222

I'm a journalist and our newsroom was sent a press release and preview DVD from PBS - it said they'd be on 'Sky 166 - and on Virgin'
So looks like PBS is coming to Virgin in November.

Looks like the article I posted from the Indepenent was correct then , as that stated it was arriving on VM also.

http://www.pbs.co.uk/

Interesting that it says Sports as well , I know they show sport in the US however I wouldn't have thought they'd have had the rights to show here.

This is what angers subs to VM, Talks and talks, VM are quick enough to put crappy +1 channels on, but the customer is after certain channels such as Premier Sports and Atlantic.

And what do VM do, we are still in talks, and yet, l guarantee it will be on Sky long before Niell Berkett and co will be out of the cars in the morning.

VM must not keep treating there customers with contempt, the channels are there for the taking, but it appears to me that they want them cheaper than anyone else.

I know that l am constantly going on about this scenario, but what has to be realised is that its the customer that keeps a company in business, if all the customers disappeared to other broadcastors, then VM would be saying, what do we have to do.

Quick question Arthur, if out of the blue Premier Sports and Atlantic launched on VM next week would you then be happy with VM?

But Arthur, what I don't understand is, if you are so unhappy with VM, and you already have both Sky and VM TV, why don't you just transfer all your TV to Sky.

Or do you just like moaning?

Well if anything I must applaud your commitment to the cause. Neil Berkett will now be able to take that long awaited holiday he's been trying to take

Do you want to start pursuing Virgin and Box Nation for me? I'll pay you in Fudge, my Mum gets Fudge for cheap and I have about 190 bars in my cupboard
