The channel is operated by Hearst rather than Sky so I doubt it

The channel does still show History programming unlike Eden which doesn't show any nature programming at all now.

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
 

why on earth is it called sky then? have they literally paid to license the "sky" name for their channel?

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
 

Yes, although technically the channel is a joint venture with Sky but Sky don't manage and operate the channel themselves

Same with Sky Crime in Italy which replaced Crime+Investigation

For now they remain separate channels in the UK

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
 

any changes incoming then or all quiet on the western front...?

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
 

wonder how low the ratings will be considering no British sides are in it

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
 

That would be interesting considering Inter Barcelona was a pleasure to watch. Watching PSG was entertaining too bar the Arsenal tie which was boring due to Artetas management style still PSG made something of the tie.

Does this mean you'll be adding ITV 2 as a favourite when it takes on all the compulsive viewing from ITV Be? :D
Nobody wants to miss the next episode of Real Housewives and the Menopause. ;)

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
 

After a long period where nothing much happened, this has now been added to all networks and, consequently, has had encryption added. It has also moved from internal channel 1890 to internal channels 70. Internal channels aren't visible on customer boxes, so this remains a mystery.
