Re: Sky or VM for TV???

Isn't it obvious that the most popular channels are proper TV channels, and the others are apps? I don't see a problem with this.

l am sure that once the right deal can be struck that it will not be long before you see it on Virgin.

Probably because most of the people who watch it aren't in the UK.

According to Barb, during this same period last month, Aljazeeras daily reach was 162,000. For a channel that's on Freeview, Freesat, BT Vision and SKY the vieiwing figures are shocking. It could actually have the worst vieiwing figures in the UK based on it's potential audience.

I think if it comes to Virgin you might be the only person who watches it.

It is if you have no interest in it's content. I'm sure it is very good if you are interested in it's content, but for most viewers in the UK, it's not a must mave channel.

Al Jazeera daily reach is 158,000.

For a channel that's on Freeview, Freesat, BT Vision and SKY the viewing figures are very very bad.

The only reason that it has a different view point to other media is that it is broadcast from there, Where it was all happening We in the west prefer our Media And I can see it been vice versa?
