Hopefully it will live up to my expectations:D

It would be good if they had a half-hour news bulletin at 10pm. This will provide me with an alternative to the BBC’s News At 10.

News at Ten sounds suspiciously like linear telly, Old Boy ;)

"a half-hour news bulletin at 10pm" also sounds like linear telly.

Surely OB (the King of the streamers) doesn't watch linear tv ?

GB News= DailyMail TV

"we need a news channel which isnt bias to the left!"

BBC News: Even though we're not meant to report this the postal votes are a disaster for labour...so you may as well not go out vote tomorrow! Here to speak is a member of a right wing party who has never won an election to speak.

"I still think its bias to the left!! Their comedy shows are sooooo lefty and PC

"Thats not the news though"

"BBC tv shows are bias to the left"

"thats not BBC news though"

*confused look as the camera fades to laura kussenberg drinking coffee on a park bench with Boris Johnson whilst Nigel Farage holds up a prize certificate waving saying "politician who is given the most BBC News airtime whilst having never been elected to westminister"

I'd be intrigued what channel number it gets on virgin media. I'd imagine if its given a high number in the 600s and the ratings are low the BBC will be blamed for it for it as a "left wing conspiracy" even though we've had a conservative government for 11 years and all the positions in the BBC are now conservative picked choices....

But moving on from sarcastic political banter....any rumours on apps coming soon for disney etc? It sounds like we've got a ton of tv channels being moved in the future as services move to streaming and yet no streaming apps launch...

I record it and watch it just before bedtime.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

Won’t it be "old news" by 7pm the following day? ;)

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

Isn't that then old news, Old Boy? ;)

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

At the bottom end I guess after NHK World, maybe 626 unless Virgin leave a gap. It could also be squeezed into one of the many gaps but that probably wouldn't be fair to the other news channels. There are a lot of gaps, maybe Virgin could use the addition of a new channel as a prompt to tidy up the news section.

No as I'm normally in bed by midnight on weekdays.

Its very easy to tell when someone has never watched an Andrew Neil Interview in their life... :doh:

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

Iy's still linear tv old chap.
ITV do news at 10 too btw if you want a alt to BBC.
