Faze TV in basic package talks with Sky

Faze TV has sent an email out to potential viewers saying that it is "deep in discussions with Sky" about joining the basic package when it launches.

The gay-oriented channel, which is planning a September 1 launch, asked viewers in the email to call or email Sky in support.

"Sky are currently evaluating how useful it would be for them to add a gay channel to their offer and we need you to email/call Sky saying how important the addition of the channel would be to your valuing your Sky subscription," the email reads. "Crucially, Sky seem to believe that there are already lots of gay programmes on TV, so if you can tell them that there are no magazine shows, no gay movies, no documentaries and no lifestyle shows etc. this will help to convince them of the value of having Faze TV in their offer."
