Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)

Back to stats school for you! 5,100 is a huge sample, regardless of the population size.

Those were opinion polls, asking people how they plan to vote. They could lie or later change their minds. But BARB report on what people actually did watch.

Indeed, political polling often has a weighted “how likely are you to vote?” and has “don’t know”.

A closer comparison to BARB would be a UK General Election exit poll which, with the exception of 1992, is usually pretty decent considering it’s essentially 660 individual predictions and has to try to account for regional variations.

Does Love Nature (or any of their other channels for that matter) carry any advertising? The few programmes that I've watched didn't.

I wonder if this is an indication that these channels will remain and that the rest are just fillers that will be quietly dropped (especially if the UKTV channels return)??

Not that I've seen, aside from them advertising their own schedule.

It is odd watching a channel in Standard Definition which is calling itself on-screen and in voiceover LoveNature4K.

The SD picture is very good though. The HD one isn't on my pack so I can't compare.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)

With all the On Demand we have access to these days, I don't really think we need the +1 channels at all anymore.

All times are GMT +1. The time now is 10:28.
