If they feel the is a need for any of the shows they will move them to another channel as they did with "Chuck" to Living.

Fine but was there an on-screen message or is there one now?

I think the general expectation is that the best shows from those deceased channels as well as Channel One (formerly Virgin1) will be spread across the remaining ex-Virgin Media TV channels and probably also Sky Atlantic in the case of some US programming.

Interestingly, the ex-Virgin Media TV channels are now owned by Living TV Group (see also Channel One (UK TV channel)).

ITV1 Granada+1 has joined the EPG in North West England on channel 114 and begins broadcasts at 2000 tonight.

I understand ITV Broadcasting Ltd has been granted 6 licences by OFCOM to cover these areas so you will get the relevant 'sub region' : -

1. ITV1 Central+1
2. ITV1 Granada+1 (Granada/Border)
3. ITV1 London+1
4. ITV1 Meridian+1 (Meridian/Anglia)
5. ITV1 West+1 (West/Westcountry/Wales)
6. ITV1 Yorkshire+1 (Yorkshire/Tyne Tees)

STV+1 and UTV+1 are also testing on satellite, I assume in anticipation of a launch.

Not that it affects any VM customers but ITV Channel Television is not providing a +1 service for their ITV1 broadcasts.

It has an ''This is stv +1'' sign up with music.

EPG says it starts at 8pm tonight.

UTV+1 is also on 114 in Northern Ireland

Looks like all VM customers are covered then.

For once in their lives the ITV Network have done something together, miracles can happen!

By all accounts there isn't a freeview slot in the Channel Islands so it's no real surprise it isn't launching there.

Oops! The sort of thing one could easily miss if one always views the Guide through Favourites. ITV1+1 now added to Favourites. Thanks for the info.

Hopefully some of the content will be redistributed amongst the remaining former VMTV channels and SkyAtlantic which I personally thinks we will get fairly soon.
