Sure, but that's the whole point of having hundreds of channels - not every channel appeals to everyone, and the more channels you get, the more this will happen.

Viacom to launch Spike TV in UK, hoping to secure distribution on Virgin Media

Viacom is to launch male-skewing US channel Spike TV, home to shows such as Bar Rescue, on Freeview.

The broadcaster, which acquired Channel 5 for £450m in May, will replace entertainment channel Viva with Spike TV in the first quarter of 2015, although its channel slot is yet to be decided. Viva will continue to air on pay-TV platforms Sky and Virgin Media.

Spike TV will carry a raft of US factual formats including Eyeworks USA-produced Bar Rescue (pictured), which currently airs on 5*, as well as repeats of Channel 5 factual series such as Cowboy Builders and Police Interceptors.

The channel will be overseen by C5 which has kicked off a hunt for a channel manager to report to director of programmes Ben Frow.

Viacom is also hoping to secure distribution on Virgin Media and Freesat for Spike TV and plans to use the UK launch as a stepping stone to further international launches.
