Yes, but that is a given in the area of entertainment, isn't it? You can say the same about our traditional TV channels.

The network ones such as fox,syfy,hbogo,showtime,foxsport,nbcsport etc are very good then you get pointless ones like worship tv or dogtv lol.

There's something for everyone, theone!

Interesting to see that, as UMP Movies ends operations in the UK, the rumoured replacement by Rishtey Cineplex hasn't taken place on VM.

Another one bites the dust!

UMP sold their EPG slot on Sky to Rishtey Cineplex.

The new channel may launch soon on Freeview.

True, but in this case I doubt the vast majority of people will be too bothered!

Not a channel appealing to the masses obviously but that's not the point.

UMP Movies was one of the most watched channels within the Asian community. It makes little sense that VM strengthens its Asian channel selection with NDTV India / NDTV Spice, then neglects to add a replacement service for one of the most popular channels within that community.

I wasn't referring to the EPG arrangements at Sky but about the fact that Viacom 18 own the rights to most of the film library of UMP Movies, so Rishtey Cineplex is a natural replacement for the channel.

Viacom has been planning the launch of Rishtey Cineplex for many months so yet another example of VM's content acquisitions team not being proactive.

VM's content acquisitions team work like the old Telewest's content acquisitions team they do not go after channels until their deals is up.

But only VM's content acquisitions team knows when deals is up.

That what we got channels from Sony, Channel 5 and NDTV has launch this past summer.

And Virgin Media has signed an new deal with FOX for Fox News Channel.

VM may have been extremely proactive but the two parties may have been unable to strike a deal. We just don't know.
