Also WBD did sign a new Supply Deal With Sky in New Zealand yesterday.
So does this mean that CNN will reappear on VM or are carriage renewal deals still ongoing?

carriage renewal deals still ongoing.

Once signed Virgin may relaunch CNN.

Virgin may also get all or some of the Warner Bros. Discovery own channels:

*CNN International HD
*Discovery Turbo +1
*Food Network +1
*Quest Red +1

The following SD Channels may get axe by Virgin Media for the following HD Channels to launch:

*Boomerang HD

I'd expect CNN to return

The only reason it got removed was because CNN+ subscription was due to launch , It only lasted a month , the Discovery management shut it down shortly after the merger completed.

That makes sense assuming negotiations for the WBD channels excluding TNT Sports are handled together. These negotiations could just be for the ex-Discovery suite of channels.

I would think by now it would be all Ex-Warner Media and Ex-Discovery Inc going under Warner Bros. Discovery.

All I was told last week was "WBD are also in talks with Virgin over a renewal carriage deal."

TNT deal is not up until end of July 2025 - that is when BT Sport/TNT Sports deal is up with the English Premier League.

Look like Virgin wants a early night - Channels was added before 11.52pm.

That's TV UK has launch on Virgin UK Channel 150.
That's 60s has launch on Virgin UK Channel 296.

Thanks for the heads-up. :)

According to the Virgin TV Control app, both That's TV (on 150) and That's 60s (on 296) are in HD. Can anyone verify that?

The picture is awful on Sky too - Freeview picture is much better but still SD.

None of the 1980s music videos look as bad as these did on any videos I’ve seen previously. The pictures were sub-standard SD.
