Sorry mate but i agree with MM and OB linear channels will decline over time, it won't disappear completely but i'd say around 50% will go or move towards online only it just isn't substanable anymore to have multiple linear channels, trutv is a prime example of this as is motors tv too.

lm would not hold up trutv or Motors TV as a prime example as some channels have always come and gone in the last 20 years.

There's not enough decent content to justify more channels, Den, and people will eventually tire of seeing back to back repeats of repeats of Container Wars, Women Who Kill, Tattoo nightmares and the like. On these dreadful channels, the commercials are the highlight of the evening.

All the good US imports will be sucked up by global operators, such as Netflix and Amazon, with Sky putting on those it can grab onto Sky Atlantic. There will be very few spoils for the other channels other than what they make themselves. The quality (I use the term mockingly) of Channel 5 will deteriorate and there will be nothing at all worth watching on there before long.

It is no longer the case that I get excited by new channels. Given the growth of on demand viewing, it's access to content I look for these days.

BT Sport has extended its Champions League deal
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39177581

Hopefully VM can get another deal sorted to keep BT Sports & ESPN as part of the bundle with Full House/VIP deals

Well indeed that is the vexed question UC as no doubt BT will be asking for considerably more then last time.

It's happening time to stop burying your head in the sand tv is evolving, no doubt linear tv will still be strong but over time channels will reduce and i will stand by my prediction of 50% wether or not it'll be that will remain to be seen.

Not sticking my head in the sand at all as you and others must remember what people predict and what actually happens can be very different in reality.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)

Got to say they are struggling for decent content now especially on the documentary channels it is a real shame that the quality of programs on History, National Geographic and Discovery has gone to the pits Ancient Aliens etc no thanks I hope they return to some quality documentaries soon but I doubt it.

I dont think any new channels are coming soon really.
