MTV Classic was "NOT" replaced by BET, both channels are are sky but not Virgin Media (I also want MTV Classics and BET on Virgin Media)

I have not heard anything about BET and MTV Classics coming to Virgin Media :(

Comedy Central HD replaced the MTV channels.

Blame Viacom


We have Music on demand and it is always free for XL TV customers. (also free this month to the other TV packages)

Thanks as ever for the update MB.

Whilst it's good that CBS Action is to appear, it does seem odd that CBS Drama is not appearing on 13 December.
Yes that channel would be nice as well.

Where did you get that nugget of information from?

Three MTV channels have stopped broadcasting on Virgin Media.

The removed channels, which stopped broadcast on Virgin Media yesterday, are MTV Classic, MTV Shows and MTV +1.

It is rumoured that these channels have been removed so that MTV's owner, Viacom, can launch other channels on Virgin Media, including Comedy Central +1 and Comedy Central HD which are to launch on 1 September.

It's very likely true.

That is why i don't see Nickelodeon HD coming to Virgin Media. Viacom would want to remove more music channels.

They should do it. Music on TV is dead when we can get pretty much every music video (on demand & YouTube) and any song (Spotify) within seconds.

Sure other TV platforms don't have this but odds are you've got a PC, tablet or phone within arms reach so its not exactly a problem.

I agree but some people would moan if that happened.

But VM have said the goal is to get to 80 HD stations in 2 years, i think they are more likely to give the green light to an HD station. Which brings up another point, maybe they have agreed to carry CBS Action as part of a deal to show CBS Action HD when it launches. Or maybe the Sky Atlantic talks have stalled and they thought that CBS Action would be a suitable (cheaper) substitute?

Also It says at the end of the electric magazine " watch this space" so something is happening. Virgin Media usually announce new channels in February , March or April.

Virgin Media have still not had this "HD shopping spree" yet.

With the amount of metal on Music on demand I would say that it is dead? How come they cater for all other music genre's and leave one of the biggest selling genre's :confused:

I agree with the above but I am still not sure about Nickelodeon HD.

I would rather have Nickelodeon HD than some MTV music channels.

We have Youtube , Spotify and Music On demand.

A certain person will want both ;)
