Sky taking channels from virgin media

[Papershop]

In regard to all saying Virgin will get Lost.

LOST was purchased by Sky Media from Channel 4. Thus Virgin showing it without paying high fees (obviously Sky will charge big) can't happen.

Sky HD FTW

Theres a ting called a contract, which in time will end

[Angel-Light]

If Virgin and Sky were to get a deal, it would mean an increase in price for Virgin Media customers = more people moaning about it.

I don't really like Sky One anyway, so no loss for me. Glad Branson did stand up to Sky though, they needed to be knocked down back to earth.

Go VM

Even though a contract will end, it doesn't mean it has to be passed on. Usually during the last few episodes talks happen so the contracted are still in the bosses hands which means good business men can bully them into another contract.

Sky knocked down to earth? Oh please. Virgin Planes, Virgin Trains, Virgin Money, Virgin Mobile, Virgin Galactic even. Now if anyone needs bringing back to earth from being high and mighty it's Virgin.

Lost will only be on Virgin ON DEMAND not 'Live' if y'know what I mean. Sky One will still have it first.

there wouldnt be that much of a rise? Now that theres now sky channels, then it will fall. If they make an agreement halfway, it will only increase a few pounds maybe

Virgin should bring down the price and screen everything Sky does a day later.

Richard Branson is a great guy - he's the guy that's trying to save our planet, and you hate him for it?

sky movies are bloody brilliant tbh

They're always playing the same movies, they played 'Jingle all the way' for like a year ;//.

I agree with the comment above about Richard Branson.

I don't hate him and it's a worthy cause. What I do hate is corporate bullys not only bullying around other companies but now it's own viewers. It never asked them what they feel.

yea richard branson is saving us from the EVIL SKY.

And sky movies are crap. Better going to blockbusters.


@At cola. Sky bullied virgin into making a choice. Sky started it

Virgin Media is a good move for the world.

But I was talking about something else; Richard Branson could be a universe saver - seriously.
