That reply is what is known as a "placeholder" - it is meaningless.
You and I are in discussion/talks at the moment, but we are going nowhere.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
Link is dated August - talks going well then, especially as Sky told their customers this month that Atlantic is exclusive to them.

Not true. Staff do not get told about new channel launches until just before a launch or announcement is made to the public.

"no basis in reality", "untrue", "made up" would probably be more accurate.
