Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Just to say there might, MIGHT, I say again, be an announcement from Virgin Media on Monday morning 29th July. If we're getting BT Sports one way or other then great, even it means our monthly subs go up as a consequence. Else, VM customer services better expect a ten-fold increase from angry callers saying what a waste of space they are, treating their clients with contempt.
We've seen this before. Setenta came less than week they were announced back in 2007 & ESPN in 2009. Yes, the uncertainty has been unsettling & depressing. Let's wait until the morning if there is something to come from VM.

Perhaps this is the best one to use for the meantime.

That is probably due to the lack of any official news...

Virgin Media is poised to close a deal to carry BT Sport’s three sports channels on its cable TV platform, making them available to a further 4m potential customers.
The two companies have been in negotiations for a number of months but both have been keen to strike a deal ahead of BT Sport’s launch on Thursday 1 August.
BT Sport has the rights to the Scottish Premier League, which begins its season on Friday 2 August,and wanted to have carriage on Virgin in time for its first TV game - Partick Thistle versus Dundee United - so as not to alienate football fans who are VM customers. The English Premier League season starts on August 17th.
One of the sticking points of negotiations has been whether Virgin will bundle the new channels in with its TV XL premium package - as was previously the case with ESPN - or whether it will charge for them as a standalone product.
It is not clear which route has been taken, but a Virgin Media spokesman said: We’re always looking bring the best possible value and choice of great quality content to our customers and we’re talking to BT about how we could potentially make the forthcoming BT Sport package available.”
Earlier this year, Virgin Media sent an online survey out to customers asking whether they would be willing to pay slightly more for their top package if it were to include Premier League football and Sky Atlantic, which could pave the way for this move.
BT Sport is being sold as a standalone channel on the Sky platform for £12 a month in SD and £15 a month in HD

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
BT Sport find away around sky's advertising ban
BT Sport has found a way past Sky Sports ban on screening its rival broadcaster's adverts after signing a four-year shirt sponsorship deal with two of the teams Sky has signed up to televise this season. Glasgow Warriors and Edinburgh Rugby have agreed a 'substantial multi-million pound' deal that will see both clubs sport BT's logo on their shirts. The Scottish sides complete in the RaboDirect Pro12 and Heineken Cup, competitions which are to be screened live next year by Sky.
The announcement of the deal follows an Ofcom ruling last month which rejected BT's complaints over Sky's refusal to promote its new rivals on its own channels. BT will launch three channels later this week, broadcasting live football from the Barclays Premier League in England and Scotland's newly-formed Scottish Premiership. Its rugby content includes Aviva Premiership matches and France's Top 14 - but it will not screen games involving the two sides it has just signed up to sponsor. However, Marc Watson, chief executive of TV for BT Retail, claims that could change in future.
