I notice this morning that Universal HD, Universal & Universal +1 have info banners
The main channels 121 & 122 state that they will be replaced by Sky Comedy/HD whereas the +1 just states it will be closing therefore looks like we won’t be getting Sky Comedy +1

Though I’m quite sure there will be plenty of repeats anyway

Itv close their ITV Box Office channel. Signals the end of their short foray into PPV boxing and wrestling.

Its unusual for them to have information about a new channel BEFORE launch.

Article in the press today stating that Sky will be the only pay TV platform to include Disney + as a deal is being inked along the lines of the French one. I'll try and find the link later.

looks like sky will integrate disney plus into packages but virgin media would still be able to offer an app. just like netflix and amazon prime are on the tivo box but not built into packages
