You do seem not to be capable of sensible debate and for that reason I’ll leave you to it for now. Just know that this is all playing out the way I thought it would. Only the exact end date for terrestrial and satellite broadcasting is not yet known.

OB it comes from your very specific claim that all linear broadcasting* will have ceased by then.
*Linear broadcasting not clearly defined.
Far from having my eyes closed I log into my Peacock TV USA app and see a suite of linear channels, broadcast to a schedule, 24 hours a day in addition to on demand content.

*All* pointless arguments about whether the future of TV is in linear broadcasting, video on-demand, a mixture of both, or something as-yet uninvented, should now take place here.

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
what do we think the chances are of premier sports remaining in the larger pack on VM? I'd say slim to none but they may be getting a slight boost in adverts...it would involve virgin media to reinvest some of the money they're saving from not having TNT Sports in the top package...which they'll probably just give to the shareholders

Will it was Setanta Sports was first become free to the old XL package.
But due to Setanta going into administration 2009 Setanta can't use that name in the UK so it then owner Michael O'Rourke did launch a Sport channel in the UK called MSK Sports - now known as Premier Sports.
Virgin Media has make the following Sports channels free on it Family pack since 2007 until 2023:
2007 - Setanta Sports UK
2009 - ESPN UK
2013 - BT Sports
---------- Post added at 01:47 ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 ----------
Wiki says Premier Sports is now own by SSBL Limited and Amazon.

No mention of it coming to Virgin though, though I imagine it will.

You obviously know nothing about the sport or you would not make such a statement!
