ITV threaten to blackout on Virgin
Looked for an old thread on this subject, but couldn't see one.
Telegraph today reports "ITV is poised to hit Virgin with a hefty bill for carrying it's main channel backed with a tacit threat of a blackout if it refuses to pay up" Not good news, although I suspect/hope a compromise will be reached. Are they taking the same stance with other carriers such as Sky, Freesat, Freeview? |

It reminds me of the time when they dropped sky (2007). That lasted for about 20 months. |
Re: ITV threaten to blackout on Virgin
AS the article says Liberty Global are major shareholders of ITV if thats the case surely they would not want to upset their shareholders by forcing Virgins hand or would it not be take the money out of one hand and give it to the other??

Apparently, with this, Sky are re-evaluating what they pay ITV for ITV Encore exclusivity and VM what they pay for ITVBe exclusivity. This could mean VM customers getting ITV Encore and Sky customers getting ITVBe in HD. |

Perhaps, the lack of logic was the reason I couldn't find it again. |

The truth is, the choice of good programmes is better than in those days, but spread amongst all of those hundreds of channels in between tons and tons of dross. So they are much harder to find. So hard, in fact, that many don't even bother looking for them any more. That is why the huge concentration of good quality stuff on Amazon and Netflix is proving so popular, and in time, this method of viewing will be the norm. |
