The UK pay-TV platform has already served notice to the documentary broadcaster, which launched on Virgin in early 2007, C21 has learned. It is currently part of Virgin’s M+, L and XL channel packages.

The move will mean that from the first quarter of 2012 the channel will no longer be available to Virgin Media subscribers, leaving it only on Sky, where it is part of the satellite TV provider’s style and culture pack.

The decision to drop the channel is part of an ongoing evaluation by Virgin of its channel line-up, following the launch of its Virgin TiVo service at the end of 2010.

The cable TV provider is understood to be focusing on securing multi-screen rights rather than hosting only linear channels, in a bid to get the most value from the content on its platform.

Virgin is aiming to provide customers with content “anywhere and everywhere” and is now evaluating all of its content provider relationships with a view to securing multi-screen rights, a source told C21.

The move is part of a shift in the way Virgin delivers content, with the TiVo service already acting as a programme recorder and an on-demand service, as well as giving access to web content such as YouTube.

Do this mean they will be reneogating all of there contracts with the content providers ?

If that is the case we could see a lot more HD channels in any new deals with content providers and this would also mean Virgin Media live tv on ipad , i phone etc.

I was just hoping that after launching almost 1 year ago we might finally see these turning up on Virgin.

The one l would like the most when they do eventually turn up is ITV HD4 as out of all their channels this is the one l watch the most because of its sports content.
