Virgin has signed an deal with NBC Universal last month and did not launch them.

Do you mean they didn't sign up to getting these channels or they signed up to them but they are not yet on our screens?

Until I see info on BT Sports launching on Virgin Media from any of my Insiders or Virgin Media all I will say is 'No deal has been signed'.

That's a bit of a Megamanical quote isn't it? Are you saying that the word of MB is God and until it is said then its not true!

Come on.

Maybe it's time to expand and bring on board other bloggers; certainly a few on th DS Forum who have dropped channel launches before MB. Maybe bring them over to your side and have more reporters on the ground

I'm sure that MB has no intention of employing anyone or paying commission!

I am not the BBC you know - That will cost to much for all the Taxis.

I started the 'Media Boy' (Was known as TV Boy) brand in 2006 due to noone reporting on the Telewest network given viewers info on what is set to happen on their network. All the Sky Digital news was everywhere on the web at the time.

I only posted on Telewest due to that being in my area.

FT.com reveal more on BT Sports.

FT is reporting the following:

-BT in talks to acquire ESPN football.
-BT plans to roll out as many as three sports channels to broadcast football, rugby and other sports content it has already acquired for almost £1bn.
-ESPN rights that are being touted for sale include broadcast rights to certain matches from the German Bundesliga, the Europa League and the English FA Cup. BSkyB, the satellite broadcaster, is also interested in the assets.
-BT has also begun to talk to Virgin Media about selling its sports content on a wholesale basis for the company to use.

What about UFC?

Fox/FX show a lot of UFC Stateside, so it wouldn't surprise me if they picked up the rights here.
