Virgin Media and BSkyB have ended their conflict, reaching an accord which will cause Virgin’s channels to stay on BSkyB and channels from the latter broadcaster return to Virgin.
The first agreement will see the return, on 13 November, of Sky’s Basic channels – including Sky1, Sky2, Sky3, Sky News, Sky Sports News, Sky Arts 1, Sky Arts 2, Sky Real Lives and Sky Real Lives 2 – to Virgin Media’s cable TV service.
