Cheers MB, I could not find a date for the change :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

They should move 90% of the 'factual' channels because all they show is tripe.

I think it's safe to ignore news about Virgin taking over Sky and any new and unusual channels appearing for the rest of today.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Even this one? :shocked: :p:

Couldn't agree more mate, just wish we had it on Virgin! There's also Blue Bloods, Boardwalk Empire, or have those shows finished now?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Blue Bloods is still showing , Boardwalk Empire Season 4 will air later in the year.

TV Wise are reporting that A&E Networks UK a joint venture of A&E Networks and BSKYB are planning to launch the 'Lifetime Channel' later in the year in the UK.

I can understand why Sky have put Game of thrones and other US cable shows on Atlantic, but The Following is from a US TV network broadcaster, Fox and should have been put on Sky One. Other Fox shows, such as Fringe, Glee and Touch have not gone on to Atlantic.

The same applies to Blue Bloods, which is from another US TV Network channel, CBS; any of the other shows that Sky have bought from them have not gone on Atlantic.

I think people understood that HBO, Showtime etc. type shows would end up on Atlantic, but to put US Network shows on Atlantic is taking the 'P' in my opinion.

It is more they are taling the "S", "k" or "y", rather than a "p" :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

I kind of agree. I've noticed that all top tier drama from America that SKY agree deals for ends up on SKY Atlantic. Everything else ends up on SKY 1 or SKY Living.

I remember before SKY Atlantic launched, they released the following PDF:

http://www.skymedia.co.uk/_downloads...ogos%20(W).pdf

"It’s TV for a discerning audience who love storytelling that is smart, immersive magnetic and truly world-class."

"Sky Atlantic HD will be an extraordinary TV channel. It will have compulsive television that pushes creative boundaries and tells great stories."

"Smart content for the engaged mind."

SKY have created a level of snobbery with SKY Atlantic. Whilst shows like Touch, Revolution and Fringe are very entertaining, they don't fit in with the ethos of Atlantic. They very much are SKY One entertainment type shows.

Put it this way as long as SKY Atlantic is broadcasting, all future top quality drama acquired by SKY will appear on that channel. I would say however that some of the British content that is broadcast on SKY Atlantic is terrible.
