The nature of the dispute is not exactly clear, with both sides citing different reasons for a breakdown in talks. Virgin Media has made the case that a key sticking point for them is VOD rights to BBC shows that air on a repeat window on UKTV's channels. UKTV, however, says that they are unable to come to terms as Virgin Media is demanding a "significant cut" in fees, despite the fact that they account for more than 25% of viewing to pay entertainment channels in Virgin’s basic pay pack.https://www.tvwise.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/UKTV-ALT-300x268.jpg
