Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
Thanks John, I thought so, thanks for clarifying that. It seems odd that they are resurrecting a format that they didn't feel worked for them last time and have moved away from calling their channels stupid names that don't give viewers any idea at all about what the channel shows.
This is despite them reporting that "Dave" etc achieved higher ratings after being rebranded :confused: ---------- Post added at 15:51 ---------- Previous post was at 15:49 ---------- Quote:

I never noticed that, I don't think the VM EPG mentioned The Jewellery Channel in the listings.
Good point about Bio+1. |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
MV HD and MTV Music would be welcomed additions.
That said, MTV was never the same when we were moved from MTV Europe!. I used to like Ray Cokes!. Bring back MTV Europe. |

Interesting news for sports fans: I was told today that VM have heard a rumour that, in an attempt to try and scupper things for BT, everytime that BT have a live match on, Sky will make it's football available for free. I asked if this meant that some or all of the Sky Sports channels would be temporarily unencrypted, if they would be moved or simulcast on a channel such as Sky One or if they would be put onto Pick TV to dissuade Freeview viewers from subscribing to BT Sport (not sure if they can or not) and was told that he didn't know the answer to that. Does anyone know if sports rights that are sold with pay TV rights MUST be shown on pay TV, or if Sky are able to show them FTA should they wish to do so? If not, that rules out Pick TV, but the option of putting them on a channel like Sky One would comply with any "must carry on pay TV" requirement. |
