A timing discrepancy there with the news slate offering to link to the channel which hasn't yet been added. At least Virgin are keeping everyone waiting for the news of the launch.

It maybe won't be available to everyone, the slate doesn't make it clear which subscription packs will have the channel. Not that many people will care. :)

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)

Sky News has had a bit of a refresh this morning and a slight change to the EPG logo

A lick of paint before the rival channel GB News launches a week on Sunday

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

It won’t do any good! Sky News needs to stop modelling itself on the BBC.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

Mate, not pandering to your views is not "modelling itself on the BBC" - if you are finding more and more News channels are "biased" (in your view), the bias may be on your side of the screen…

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

It is a fact that Sky News is modelled on the BBC.

GB News has been created to defeat the woke obsession that too many parts of the media have embraced. That includes Sky News.

That sounds much more like it.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

Any evidence to back up that "fact", please?

"woke obsession" - I refer the Honourable Gentleman to my previous statement to the House… ;)

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

My only problem with uk based news channels is the lack of news and lots of opinions . Would like a fact based service . It can be done as radio 4,s more or less shows week on week

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

Well, this seems to confirm it.

[EXTRACT]

“Sky is broadly indistinguishable from the BBC,” an industry source says. “Little wonder Rupert Murdoch is said to refer to it as ‘BBC-lite’.”

When he launched Sky News, Murdoch aimed to disrupt the BBC and reinforce his political influence. Auntie was forced to come out fighting. In 1997, it launched the rolling news channel, BBC News 24.
