Virgin Media is the UK’s second-largest pay-TV provider and its only cable-TV operator. It is currently in a relatively strong position as it has a reasonably strong brand, owns a next-generation fiber network, and is the only quad-play operator in the UK. However, its main competitor, BSkyB (Sky), owns and controls much of the premium content in the UK, particularly sports, thus limiting Virgin Media’s multi-screen opportunities, especially around selling content to non-TV clients. Virgin Media nonetheless has the opportunity to strengthen its quad-play subscriber base by providing new value to its customers through a high-quality multi-screen offering.
