Virgin Media UK’s TV Customers Given Free Access to Premier Sports Rugby
Customers of broadband ISP Virgin Media (O2), such as those who take a Pay TV service via one of their TV 360, Stream or v6 Box platforms, may like to know that from today they will also gain free access to Premier Sports Rugby, the 24/7 rugby channel.
The channel is said to offer access to the “most comprehensive club rugby coverage available across the UK“. Virgin TV customers can now enjoy access to the Investec Champions Cup, United Rugby Championship (URC), EPCR Challenge Cup, Top14 (France), Major League Rugby and Japan Rugby League One, plus much more available via channel 553.
David Bouchier, Chief TV and Entertainment Officer at VMO2, said: “We’re offering every Virgin TV customer even more value with access to Premier Sports Rugby at no extra cost. As the only Pay TV operator to provide this, we are demonstrating our commitment to give our customers the very best access to the content they love, and to further enhancing our sports offering with coverage of the world’s biggest club competitions at their fingertips.”

Fair play, you’d never ever see this from Sky.
Great to hear but when they do things like this it usually means a price increase isn’t far behind.
Yes. Every April. Like documented since 2020.
Mmmm only one of their channels mind showing repeated matches and hardly and live games compared to their other two channels. So not that impressed.
They increases the price every April by £5 a month so its not really free is after all if it was free they wouldn’t have 2 do price increases would they
