It’s probably a fair comment with UKTV and other smaller third party channel disputes.

Don't care about the football but TNT sports is a must for the rugby and MotoGP

Ask VM about SKY and UKTV, VM have form for this kind of behaviour.
Don't worry you can watch your RAW on netflix from next year.

Re: Virgin Media customers risk football blackout
Sky had a similar issue with Discovery not so long ago.
I suspect it is something that happens more often - but only occasionally goes public.

Indeed so, Paul. The Telegraph article cites numerous sports rights contracts, but chooses to use football as the headline.
