I don’t recall knowing ITVBe’s +1 was even on VM.

I noticed a couple of weeks ago that the U app was on V6. I knew it had been announced but thought it was further off. When did it get added? Couldn’t have been much before I noticed.

It seems odd that Virgin spent last weekend promoting DAZN Women's Football by launching the FAST channel from channel 100 when its due to close so soon afterwards.

If you look at name it become Greyhound racing.

When launch viewers can watch Greyhound racing via the RED button on Sky Sports Racing HD.

So you can watch the full card of Greyhound racing when Horse racing is on.

(The Red button Greyhound racing on Sky Sports Racing HD is on Sky right now.)

The name is still GreyHorse but not very important for a red button channel as it won't show on the EPG. Channel 70 is in the range used by red button channels, Sky Sports Active used 50-59 and TNT Sports use 65-69, 74 & 79. Other than those, the 2 digit range is mainly used for internal services, NVOD Adult/Sports channels etc. The 4 digit channel number series seems to be used for placeholder services for channels no longer broadcasting and for inactive pop-up channels. Info from UKCTVC.

Good spot. Second time that an app launched on TV360 with much fanfare, has subsequently been made available on V6 very much on the quiet. Not surprised.

Perhaps the intention is to use the feed for both greyhound & horse racing??

Grey Horse sounds more like the name of a pub!

I suspect the main reason is because DAZN have lost the Women's Champions League to ESPN/Disney+ from next season

Perhaps they will put the FIFA World Club Cup on there

Channel 5 will show 23 Fifa Club World Cup matches this summer after agreeing a UK sublicensing deal with global rights holder DAZN.
The free-to-air broadcaster will show 15 group games, four last-16 ties, two quarter-finals, one semi-final and the final.
The remaining 40 matches at the expanded 32-team tournament, which takes place in the United States between 15 June and 13 July, will be also be shown free-to-air on DAZN's platforms.

The what now ?

I thought this was the Intercontinental Cup under another name, but with all those mentioned matches, that seems unlikely.
