Look like Virgin Media has signed an new deal with Columbia Pictures Corporation for True Entertainment +1 and Now 80s (Launching on it own channel number).

No idea on Disney.

This past weekend launch launches was down to:

Discovery (Quest HD - full launch in August 2018), A&E Networks UK:, Columbia Pictures Corporation, All Around the World Productions, Vice Media, Blue Ant Media and Premier Media S.à r.l.

NOTE: Columbia Pictures Corporation do not own Now 80s. That channel is own by All Around the World Productions.

So Columbia Pictures Corporation only own True Entertainment +1

If this was a major part of your viewing, I'm surprised that you were paying a subscription mainly for that, to be honest. Freeview would appsar to cater for your needs.
