First of all I note the word COULD.
More so it is a repeat of a repeat of a repeat. I am sure this was raised sometime ago. With the "problem" being fixed.
Sorry Den, life is to short for wading into lists .  I find MB very helpful/interesting I just wish I did not have to look & look to find one new piece of hard news.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2012) Vol. 3.
UPDATE: Paralympic Games on Virgin TV.
I have today ask one of my insiders if Virgin will carry the extra three Paralympic Games streams that Channel 4 will broadcast.
All I got was 'Haven't seen anything either way about it'.
More on this story when I get it - I hope to get more info when the August channel lineup is out next week.

If VM do not carry these, I will find it offensive.

Yep, that's what we need ln October; channel additions we can really jump up and down about!
We need significant channels, like Atlantic.

Nonsense, this is about more than VM simply not carrying the feeds. If VM carry the mainstream olympics and not the Paralympics, this amounts to blatant disability discrimination.

Really?
So because they don't show equal highlights of women's football, cricket etc, as men's that is sex discrimination too?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2012) Vol. 3.
So you believe that those with disabilities who have succeeded against all the odds should be treated with contempt by VM?
It is because of attitudes like this that the Disability Discrimination Act had to be introduced.
If the feeds aren't carried I shall refer the matter to the relevant regulatory authorities to allow them to adjudicate on the matter.
Due to a lack of memory, the V and V+ boxes have had their advance listings reduced and the synopsis for all radio programmes removed whilst the olympic feeds are carried.
This begs the question as to what will happen when VM do add any new channels.

 no it doesn't at all. The fact is the Paralympics are not as main stream so not as many people will watch them so Ch4 should be enough to catch highlights and live events.
No one is discriminating against anyone.
