Okay just to clarify, anyone can post any baseless nonsense, but I can’t post where Virgin are clearing frequencies for future use and speculate if it’s broadband or TV?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
It probably did have proper source a long time ago, but these days the Sky Basics approximate due date has been said so often on here it's more of a collective remembrance.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
It has consistently moved as a date. It equally has no meaning, as they could supersede any agreement at any point in the negotiations.

Nobody has said that, have they? However, it would be better if you posted that information in a more relevant thread.
Incidentally neither the end of the existing 5-year-deal between Virgin and Sky nor the prospect of getting SA are baseless.

How do you make that out? Sky has already said that Sky Atlantic will be on all major TV platforms this year. As clues go, that is right between the eyes.

“Major TV platforms” isn’t a clearly defined (nor legally defined) term. I’m quite sure I have pointed this out before. Either way it’s speculative if it’s coming soon or not, so I’d politely suggest you use another thread.

So, what do you suggest it means then? as you seem to know pratically everything anyway!

God, you are so argumentative! I think it is pretty obvious that Virgin Media is a major TV platform.
The 'Coming Soon' thread has always dealt in formal announcements, rumours and speculation and most of us wouldn't have it any other way.. If it only related to the former, the 2019 Coming Soon thread wouldn't even be a page long yet.

It doesn’t mean anything. It holds true whether the content is or isn’t on Virgin. If not it just means Sky don’t consider Virgin a major platform. Which isn’t legally enforceable in any way. It may look petty, but that costs nothing.

This says that on 12/5/14, Sky and VM entered into a 'five year plus' carriage agreement. Usually this means 5 years, with an option to extend:

How about you leave the decisions on who posts where and what, to the team.
