No.
"No news when there is no news is the norm".
Easily mistaken for the classic "No news", or the equally well known "No news is good news".
You fell into the less well known "No news when no news is no news" conundrum.

It is like the old rules of sports commentary... when there is nothing to say say nothing....

From the DS Smallworld Cable forum. Looks like VM are not the only ones being strung along. At least they are honest and open about it...

Sorry you have not been approached. We have posted the issue on our website. We didn't send a letter in advance because frankly we thought we were going to be able to get BT Sport, and despite being in contact with them for three months in the end we have not been able to agree anything yet. I'm still hopeful however.
I think they will do wholesale deals, but are trying to exploit the marketing hype for the time being.
In the meantime we have reduced the price of all 6 Sky Sports channels by £5 a month to £16. This is substantially below cost and much cheaper than Sky. It is also a far bigger reduction than the cost of ESPN to us in the past. I know you mentioned that you are not interested in Sky Sports - but we are trying to help despite the high cost to us.
We are also planning to reduce the price of the Ultimate pack in October to compensate for the loss of ESPN (assuming a deal for BT Sport isn't reached by then).
May also be worth taking into account that once the broadband capacity upgrade is increased this September (we're upgrading our network links from 1Gb to 10Gb connections) we will start rolling out 100Mb broadband and upgrading our other speeds...
Kind regards
David

Smallworld's communication is brilliant, if only they expanded their coverage to about 40 miles south of where they end now.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
At least they're being upfront about it. You would think a large company like Virgin would have told us one way or the other by now!

Are you looking forward to having Arthur on the Sky forums? I wonder what he will find fault with on there? It won't be lack of channels though; Sky have got that nailed down.

He'll probably complain about loss/pixelating of picture when it's bad weather
