I'm expecting Channel launches announced aswell

Surely that means the death of BBC Three and BBC Four? They make up quite a bit of time on the BBC HD channel.

This from WotSat on twitter:
Correction: BBC HD is NOT turning into BBC2 HD. Broadcast got a bit carried away with BBC 2's controller taking over BBC HD

A paywall of incorrect news.

The earning call is never used for channel launches. It will be hard numbers and there maybe some vague mention of future far of broadband speed trials.

They are trialling 1.5GB speeds so how much do you want

Does that mean programs that they have acquired or made in HD for BBC3 or BBC4 will not be shown in HD anymore or that they will have to move them to BBC1 or BBC2? Hope they don't go completely.

Angry Boys is a prime example right now being shown on BBC3 but shown in HD on the BBC HD channel.
Also have known dramas on BBC4 to be shown on there also.

Not belting on about this VM v Sky business, and getting channels on the cheap.

Sky and VM are a business, like any other, Sky get channels then sell them to various companies, I don't know what Sky sell channels for, but when when Sky offered Atlantic to VM, they said ' we offered at a reasonable price', but VM said no.

Obviously VM want the best for its customers, the same as SKy, BUT if you want a rolls royce you don't offer money for a Vauxhall Viva do you.

VM can quite easily go and get channels under there own steam but prefer to go through Sky.
