[“The problem is the BBC does not grant the UKTV digital rights with its
TV shows which leaves it somewhat stranded as a linear
dinosaur in an on-demand modern world,” said David Bouchier, Virgin Media’s chief digital entertainment officer.]
[From 10pm on Thursday, Virgin Media was expected to begin notifying customers
online about pulling the channels, and from Friday the UKTV channels would
carry a message saying: “this channel is being replaced from Sunday”.
Barring an eleventh-hour deal, Virgin Media said it would replace the
UKTV portfolio with a range of channels offering shows including
Suits, Designated Survivor, Britain’s Next Top Model, Deadliest Catch
and sports programming.]
