That will be awesome. I have heard however that Premier Sports where in talks with Virgin last week, and the buzz is Premier sports will be coming soon to the XL package. Let's hope it's not as a replacement for ESPN. I've always been worried that when ESPN 2 and ESPN News launches the current ESPN channels would drop out of the XL package and we'd need to start paying a monthly subscription if we wanted to keep the ESPN channels.

Personally for me, because of their boxing coverage, I'd actually prefer Premier Sports to ESPN in my XL package. It's all rumours at this stage however there tends to be a sliver of truth in every story.

If it was not for the vast amount of debt VM is carrying he would probably have a go at buying VM as well to create overall monopoly:D

There is more chance of man landing on Mars then of Murdoch getting his grubby hands on Virgin.

Media Boy updates on new channel info.

I have no news on any channels launching on Virgin TV any time soon but when I do know anything I will post it here or on my Virgin Media Blog.

Actually about the same chance. They're both 'coming soon'.

Turner Broadcasting System to rebrand Turner Classic Movies.

Media Web site C21 is reporting that the UK feed of Turner Broadcasting System's film network Turner Classic Movies will be rebranded soon on Virgin Channel 415.

It's gonna rebrand to TNT

Would make sense since they show more than just Classic Movies these days.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.

Didn't it rebrand to TCM from TNT in the first place? I wonder if they'll bother to start broadcasting in widescreen when they rebrand.
