The trouble is Hugh is when companies say they are in talks the next question we need to ask is how long is a piece of string.

the trouble is that negotiations are complicated, and either side is looking for anything that can be used as leverage to advantage their side....

I’m a TV XL customer and get ESPN for free. Will you be replacing ESPN content with anything else?

Until we confirm what’s happening with BT Sport on Virgin Media, we can’t say what will replace ESPN. But you can rest assured that whatever happens, we’ll be making sure all our TV XL customers carry on enjoying great value for money.

I recon they have Sky Atlantic lined up if they can't come to a deal to get BT Sports in the XL pack. They probably don't have enough money for both, so don't want to announce Sky Atlantic if there is still a chance they could get BT Sports in the XL Pack.
