At first it was thought that it would be showing retro music, but if that was the case it would be in the music section on Sky, as opposed to entertainment.

I'm wondering if it will show archive programming like Forces TV & Talking Pictures.

Going back a long way (maybe early Tivo days) I remember losing recordings when channels moved to a different number, so I’ve only just realised we may lose these. I don’t think there’s any way we can watch before it closes.

If someone could confirm though, I’d appreciate it, one way or the other.

Thanks

Probably not, as I’m sure none of the That’s network channels are carried on Virgin but they are on Twitter

If their existing programme is a guide of quality then I don’t think we will be missing much.

Base on listing (Maybe out of date) posted on Media Boy UK Blog.

Virgin Media UK do carry FOUR of the "That's Network channels" in some areas of England and Wales:

-That's TV East (In Norwich areas only).
-That's TV Cambridge (In Cambridge areas only).
-That's TV South Wales (In Swansea areas only).
-That's TV Humber (In Grimsby areas only).

I did think it could be that, but I don't think that if it was this it would qualify for a Sky Entertainment EPG slot. It would probably go into the music or shopping genre.

‘On 30 June the Fox channel in the UK will close. Many titles will become available on Star on Disney+ and will be announced in the near future. We appreciate the support of our UK fans and can’t wait to keep sharing the best stories with you.’

This leaves the Nat Geo channels the last Disney owned/operated linear channels in the UK

I saw Sky promoting Baby TV on social media the other week. Strange to promote something that's likely on the way out.
