More sabre rattling one suspects from ITV.

If this happens then Virgin will lose a lot of customers!

I thought the main channels (BBC1, BBC2 & ITV) had to be provided free ?
It would also be very short sighted of ITV to cut themselves off from viewers (advertisers would not be happy). |
Re: TV Wars: ITV VS Virgin Media
I can't think of the last time I watched an ITV programme?

There will still be freeview no big deal for me!

LG could decide to simply buy more shares in ITV to make the issue go away!
At least they would be getting something for their money. ---------- Post added at 19:15 ---------- Previous post was at 19:10 ---------- Quote:
When it was pointed out that cable companies had a 'must carry' obligation towards the PSB channels, the Government said that they "didn't expect" this to happen with regards to traditional cable television companies. ITV seem to have other ideas... Interestingly, they must broadcast FTA on both Freeview and Freesat, so by definition they can't encrypt on Sky either. They both need each other, so I agree with others when they say that this is unlikely to happen. |

So the PSB's want retransmission fees off the pay TV platforms whilst enjoying EPG prominence on these platforms. Seems a little unfair to me.

Personally none of my programmes have adverts in them, since they all come from the USA ;)
However, some people still watch them, so advertisers would not be happy. |
