Honestly, this is a BUSINESS. This isn't a socialist republic. Everybody is not going to get everything, you'll get what you pay for.
Does my wick in how much crap is posted in these threads sometimes. No, VM aren't go to destroy their working budget by cramming Premier Sports onto XL so someone in Wigan can watch some Rugby League. They also can't force a different company to sell them their own bloody content at the same price to a direct competitor, they can't hold prices and ignore inflation, they can't do a whole raft of this stuff for perfectly acceptable reasons. They may have shortcomings in some areas, but not to the ungodly extent some people come up with.
(That wasn't a rant at you in particular btw, just happened to be latest in a tidal wave of completely unrealistic comments) |
Hey, leave Rugby League out of this. It is the second most popular sport on Sky, who are not paying for the sport as an act of charity.
The frustration is not that we can't get NRL and Championship Rugby League on th XL pack but that we can't get it on Virgin at all.
I suspect that the reason that Virgin haven't made a deal with Premier Sport as a stand alone channel is that the terms they are offering are so poor that it is in Premier's interest to withold the channel so that fans will eventually leave Virgin for Sky.
