Not sure why it should be grouped with the Foreign News channels. Plenty of room before channel 620, only 7 out of 19 used at the moment.

You do know that Ofcom is your friend when it comes to bias in TV news channels.You have the right to refer any bias issues to that organisation.;)

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

It's first come first served, a similar policy seems to have been applied to other platforms with GB News added at the end of the News section. A little bit of leapfrogging on the Sky EPG with GB News buying a slot from another broadcaster. That sort of channel number trading doesn't happen with Virgin.


As I said a few post ago, there are too many gaps in the News section. It seems to have escaped the tidy-up exercises seen on the other genres. Many slots don't seem to have changed since the ntl and Telewest EPGs were merged.

I'm sceptical as to whether the EPG placing has that much of an effect on ratings.

If GBN get higher ratings on Sky, it's mainly because Sky is a bigger platform. Not because the channel is more favourably located on the EPG.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

Channels aren't though as there's an open market for positions on the Sky platform and channels on Freeview have done their best to get to the top of the pile.

Andy Murray playing tennis rates more on BBC 1 than on BBC 2. ;)

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

Or anything else on BBC1 for that matter. Even though BBC2 has been around for what feels like forever, and it has the same availability.

Even more annoying that a show that's past its peak creatively and gets a "promotion" to BBC1 and the higher ratings keep it going even whe the show has got worse.

The producers wrongly think they are doing something better.

It's also a little bit like the credit given to the rebranding of UKTVG2 to Dave. They held up the success of ratings increase as wholly due to the rebrand, and not because it simultaneously had been made Free-To-Air and was available to a greater number of people.

Anyway, nothing to see here. Just me rambling.:D

I see no Eurosport 4K this year. Shame.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

Only reason l can see for moving a BBC1 program to bbc2 for one day .we all have both ! So it just messes up recordings. Eg covd briefings on 1 pointless moves to 2

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

And everybody has BBC News for the briefings

There is no need at all except for ratings

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

Good point didn't even think of them !

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
