I know that without a source this just looks like me, as a SKY customer trying, to wind people up. If people don't believe me that's understandable."

SKY Bravo is the channel I was talking about! At the time however the name had not been decided but SKY Bravo was the front runner. I would however suggest that, to the best of my knowledge, it's not going to simply be the rebirth of Bravo. The programming will be of a better quality than the original Bravo.

The chances are though if sky launch Sky Bravo they will want it to be "exclusive" on Sky, which means it won't be on Now TV, which in turn would make no sense for Sky to launch Now TV entertainment without having the full channel set.

Also I believe Now TV Entertainment would require a TV License as the channels are not premium services.

What I meant was they totally gloss over the negatives that customers have and put their own positive spin on things. I wonder if Alistair Campbell helped to write the book?

One major bonus of joining SKY is there is little to no messing about when it comes to new channels. If a new channel is launching 99% of the time it's available on SKY straight away. Often it's on the EPG weeks in advance of going live so you know that you are getting it prior to any official confirmation.

As much as I would like to see Radio Caroline join VM, I can't see an organisation funded by voluntary donations from its listeners and support group having the financial stability to make this happen.

As far as I'm aware, Sky do not allow channels onto the EPG during their testing period. Only once the channel is ready is it allowed onto the EPG so as to maintain it's integrity.
