Damn and here's me thinking that Virgin may have got an exclusive channel or something instead of playing catchup with sky. Still nice to see the sd people haven't been totally forgotten :)

VH1 Classic to become MTV Classic next month.

The UK and Ireland is one of the first parts in the world to see VH1 Classic being rebranded as MTV Classic from the 1st of March.

Here's the show description for 'Morning Glory':

"Give your day a great start with Morning Glory on MTV Classic. An unmistakable mix of great tracks and ledgendary artists."

Info Thanks to Digital Spy Forums.

Update: I have seen info that MTV Classic is set to launch down under in May.

coming soon to virgin they sell there channels to sky and sky takes them away and only gives them to us :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

And the sd channels that are coming are to replace them lol.Still think its a bad move by virgin to sell to them.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

I totally agree that this may not be the best of moves by Virgin, however the act of selling the channels will give Virgin a much needed cash injection and Sky are likely to be highest bidders.

The real problem in my eyes isn't the short term implications but more of the long term. Everyone knows that Sky are out to screw everyone to boost their own sales and whilst this may be beneficial to Sky it will in time put VM in a very difficult position.

The real problem is that Sky have too much power over everything. If Sky was simply a distributer of content like Virgin, BT etc. then everything would be a level playing field - unfortunately Sky own a lot of important channels and use all of this power to their advantage. Whilst I have great admiration for what Sky has accomplished it cannot be fair to the competition if one company has complete control.

I just hope that VM's legal team go through everything with a fine toothed comb:confused:

You've obviously just joined to wind people up..please go away. :rolleyes:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Ive got sky unfortunately..and beleave me non of them are anything to shout about.:td:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Out off the 3 i would say the unexplained channel (paranormal channel) as the best one.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Haha wow that channel is so bad it makes FX and Living seem good :D

For me it would be clubland and even though I hate that chavvy crap it's still the best out of a bad bunch.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

All of the channels is not on my list.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Maybe CBS Drama? I wouldn't mind watching some of the old series that are shown on there, John wouldn't be quite so happy having to sit and watch them again though. :D

I just hope they are not more +1's, although they can come in useful I would rather have proper new channels.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Good thought... aren't we due the CBS channels...

No hints on any more HD then MB? :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

it would be good if there was a wiki page with a table of channels on virgin and sky so we can compare which channels aren't on both.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

No more hints - If I give more hints the Cat will be out of the bag (I am not meaning you Jo.:D)
