what is going on with virgin trying to get premier sports

[sinton]

Can't understand why existing thread has been locked. NRL season only 2 weeks away, shortly followed by Championship RL - do Virgin want to lose rugby league fans? Do I want to move to Sky? - The answer is NO!!!

Have negotiations been resurrected?

Come on Virgin SORT IT OUT PLEASE, the silence is deafening!

good old virgin pay for channels you dont want to watch cant pay for channels you want to watch...

Well the NASCAR season has started, well the shootout happened and guess what i missed it. seriously i will not miss another season of NASCAR virgin get your rear into action and get me this channel because i want it. Had this cable on perminantly since August 1992 (Cable northwest, Telewest, NTL and now Virgin) always had the top package, with sports and movies. but i am now officially frustrated. their is no excuse for why Virgin do not have this channel. it offers sports that people WANT to watch. your putting the prices up will i get what i want? no. pretty sure i organises a Tivo to be installed a couple of months ago , no engineer turned up and no knowledge on your side when i asked. Virgin suck i really feel like leaving!

you keep pointing out that thread but seen as tho that threads over a month old and doesn't even mention the fact you have been in negoiations with premier sports and they have come to a halt/ stalled is there any point in it being there unless its going to be updated?!

So don't c why the other thread was locked and its also worth poniting out that the only people suffering because u can't come to an agreement with premier sports are your customers!!!

Well said. Let's keep this thread "live" until we get a proper response.

Yeah we wan't a real reply. that post is old and doesnt give any information. 

Also i refuse to miss more NASCAR because Virgin. tell me the truth, because i have had the false beliefe that i may have this channel in time for Daytona, i am not missing another season of Sprint cup.  i will leave if i dont get this channel.

That is exactly what Virgin Media want, Premier Sports have turned down Virgin Media's offer to be carried as a Premium channel (as they are on Sky).
