Have to resubscribe to TNT Sports. What?

[Shugg]

I got this email from Virgin today:

We wanted to let you know that we’re making a change to the way we provide TNT Sports channels in order to continue to provide the best value entertainment packages for our customers. We’ve noticed that you haven’t viewed these channels in the last 6 months, and therefore we’re removing automatic access to them from 30th June 2024. Don’t worry, nothing else is changing. If you wish to re-activate TNT Sports, you can click here for more information.

It does appear to be genuine but wth, they're saying they'll remove some channels and not reduce the price of my package. Why would anyone agree to that? Just like I haven't watched any of the shopping channels. Does this mean I then have to click through every channel every so often? What nonsense.

Hi All,

Recently upgraded from V6 to 360.

I’ve seen other people say they’re missing TNT sports but it’s still showing on my Maxit package of channels on myvirginmedia is this an error or does anyone know how to sort it?

Thanks, Alex

My access to TNT channels was removed, despite watching them regularly, and I completed the form to get them re-enabled. VM have now sent through an updated contract changing my monthly payment from £92 to £160!

Hey hot_Kj, thank you for reaching out and I am sorry to hear this.

This sounds like your discounts could of come to and end as this is a big jump, normally TNT sports would only be £18 add on not double the amount of your bill.

Also could a bill payment of been missed / still pending?

Personally I think VM should give people who don't want TNT sports a discount but knowing VM it will be something like 50p

Ps I wonder how much VM is paying TNT sports for each customer on the maxit package
