Heard a couple of things. One is that they are trying to add more programming through the week like Boxing Matters and the Cassius & Helder show. The other is a deal is close for a huge archive of classic fights in conjunction with ESPN Classic. The aim is to make the channel more appealing 24/7 and making the HD channel full time. Once HD goes full time it's almost certain to arrive on Virgin Media. I know this as when asked them via e-mail about 6 months, about HD coming to Virgin, I was surprised to get an e-mail back from their CEO advising Virgin don't want it until it goes full time.
If BT secure more premiership football I really do think a BT takeover of Boxnation could be on the cards!

Re: BoxNation on Virgin Media?
Channel 5 to show live world title action on the 25th October.
"The Monte Carlo show will be broadcast in the UK on Channel 5 and will be jointly-headlined by Blackwell’s former British middleweight title rival Martin Murray as he takes on Italian Domenico Spada in a world title eliminator and Stuart Hall, who is up against American Randy Caballero as he bids to regain the IBF world bantamweight belt."
Then 3 weeks later on Eurosport it's Klitschko Vs. Pulev. Great to see world title action being televised outwith SKY Sports and Boxnation.

That's precisely why it won't happen. The loss in revenue would be far greater than advertising revenue gained from new viewers and any cost savings. I'm sure what is coming is the content and full time HD channel which Chad has advised.

Re: BoxNation on Virgin Media?
German broadcaster SAT1 have agreed a broadcast deal with the Sauerlands. Interestingly news came out today that the German broadcaster is looking to launch their own dedicated 24/7 pay boxing channel in the next few months. Been hearing for just over a year that the Boxnation brand might be rolled out across Europe. Wonder if Boxnation / SAT1 are teaming up? Wonder if that's the big announcement coming soon that Warren was talking about?

Is it perhaps that Channel 5 has now got a bigger budget due to its new owners?

Boxnation signed a 3 year deal with Sauerland on or around the 22nd September 2011. Looks like the deal has expired and has not been renewed. It's good that Channel 5 have picked up the next Sauerland event but who knows if well see German boxing on British TV, on a regular basis, going forward.
