Not yet sure if it will do a similar thing on Virgin Media.

MTV (channel 311) is morphing into MTV Music, which will hopefully only show music. MTV Shows is morphing into MTV, now a general entertainment channel, and as the channel was dropped from VM a few months ago it means us VM customers will miss out on the non-music programmes, like The Hills and new Jersey Shore, that currently air on it (well those of us who watch them anyway :red face: ).

Top programming then! lol

It does just sound like a re-brand on MTV Shows. Moving the shows off MTV is a good thing though. MTV is supposed to be a music channel after-all. :)

I just found this ''MTV Shows will be rebranded as MTV Music from the 1st of February, 2011.'' so by the look of that MTV Music will NOT launch on Virgin Media.

At least with the re-branding it means more music on vm, not my specific taste in music but at least more music on vm which is needed :)

Virgin Media do not carry MTV Shows anyway so MTV Music will not be on unless the owners of MTV ask Virgin Media to drop an other channel for it.

I had a feeling there would be a figure 5 in it, so did channel 5 not rebrand a couple of years ago to 5 to then rebrand back again, nice way to waste money.
