Virgin already carry:
Cinemoi - £6.99 a month
Disney Cinemagic - £5.00 a month
Baby TV - £3.50 a month
Manchester United TV - £6.00 a month
Playboy TV - £11.00 a month
The Adult Channel - £11.00 a month
Television X - £11.00 a month
If Virgin feel Box Nation is more niche than any of the above channels then I'll be both shocked and disappointed. The day that Virgin give priority to a French movie channel, or children's channel aimed at 0-3 year olds, ahead of a Box Nation is the day we all need to ask what is going on in their heads. Just my opinion really but just how popular is MUTV outwith Man United fans? BARB shows MUTV gets 33,000 viewers per day, the majority of which will undoubtedly have SKY. I'm guessing about 10,000 people subscribe to MUTV via Virgin.
