The two companies have been in negotiations for a number of months but both have been keen to strike a deal ahead of BT Sport’s launch on Thursday 1 August. BT Sport has the rights to the Scottish Premier League, which begins its season on Friday 2 August,and wanted to have carriage on Virgin in time for its first TV game - Partick Thistle versus Dundee United - so as not to alienate football fans who are VM customers. The English Premier League season starts on August 17th. One of the sticking points of negotiations has been whether Virgin will bundle the new channels in with its TV XL premium package - as was previously the case with ESPN - or whether it will charge for them as a standalone product. It is not clear which route has been taken, but a Virgin Media spokesman said: We’re always looking bring the best possible value and choice of great quality content to our customers and we’re talking to BT about how we could potentially make the forthcoming BT Sport package available.” Earlier this year, Virgin Media sent an online survey out to customers asking whether they would be willing to pay slightly more for their top package if it were to include Premier League football and Sky Atlantic, which could pave the way for this move. BT Sport is being sold as a standalone channel on the Sky platform for £12 a month in SD and £15 a month in HD. |

I have just got off the phone from a VM representative having given them a call on another matter and when he asked if he could do anything else for me I asked the question about BT Sport.
His reply was a surprise when he said it is hoped that VM will be making a further announcement tomorrow (Tuesday). Could this reiterate the previous posting and could things have positively moved on ? |
