easy now
i bet they will reappear.
2 channels, one of which is news, gone. but think of the lost revenue for sky for pulling this. it makes no sense at all. From what i've read, sky got 3p per day per customer that had sky 1 & news from Virgin media. now think how many people have cable, that would see the adverts on sky. If i was an advertiser and the company i PAY to advertise on decides to take its ball home cos they're greedy and almost half my target audience, i ain't gonna be happy.
Sky should be investigated by the monopolies council, first they buy max % of ITV cos virgin showed interest, then conveniently bring out a 3 for £30 bundle, like cable at the same time as wanting a 150% increase off VM? all a bit suss to me.
