The Government changed its mind about selling it off last March:

I don't know, though. The BBC haven't changed their idents for a while and ITV may find themseves with a different channel number...:rolleyes:

I think MB is just trying to keep the 'Coming Soon' thread alive with all these DNPs that we don't have a clue what they refer to and rarely seem to arrive. It's become nothing but smoke and mirrors.

I doubt we will get any worthwhile new channels in 2018, but I am hopeful that we may get some more streaming services and additional UHD content.

Anyone hoping for more than that is likely to be disappointed. :walk:

Only channel we're aware of that should be arriving early 2018 is Freesports we know talks are on going.
Other than that we have no further channel info, however a year is a very long time in the media industry so who knows.

Yes, Freesports is the only channel that I've been told about (though there are those 16 services that jj20x found).

I wonder if the delay to adding Freesports is anything to do with this:

If so, I imagine premier may cease being a subscription service.

My word, Den - thanks for the commentary!

Where else would you go? As I've explained zillions of times, I don't want Sky, the others are inferior services and a move to streaming only is premature at this stage, given that we are in a transitional period.

However, the point I am making is that new channels have all but dried up and VM are on a go slow when it comes to new streaming services.
