Discovery Channels

A major competitior of Virgin's is taking a large gamble here (if it actually happens that is). I can hear the phones ringing at VM sales right now. 

I can't imagine since lastime virgin lost some channels in last report over payout over free view this was last year and virgin decided to keep the channels sky will be loosing lots of money over their basic channels package 

I remember when the Sky channels disappeared from Virgin Media - and the viewing figures plummeted.

Yes Andy they wanted your decision to keep the channels buy ringing in 150 and they told us its our decision to keep them and we had to vote to keep the channels 

Maybe this could be used as a sweetner for us getting Sky Atlantic?

Hopefully VM will get first dips on F1 in future as Liberty Media now own it.

I'm sure if sky tv package is dropping the channels then it would mean the package wouldn't be worth a penny the amount it's loosing sky could loose a lot over this whichever way I'm writing this there will be lots of customers ringing in to sky about this getting money back or quitting 

I usually bite my tongue before commenting on grammar, spelling, and punctuation but I can't make sense out of the last post.

Sorry for bringing it up and apologies if I've broken any forum rules.

whatever happens the only loser in this will be the subscriber,if discovery stays on sky then i cant see sky swallowing the cost,will be passed straight to them,sky doesnt come out of this looking rosy neither do discovery,wonder what will happen when carraige comes up for renewal on vm!

What happens when discovery is due to be renewed and they want a higher price will virgin media pay this or get rid of discovery channels just like sky are. 

Unlikely James144, I believe the Discovery channels are owned by Liberty Media who os the same company which owns Virgin Media and now Formula 1.
