Maybe CNBC HD , the SD channel is shutting down on Sky on 2nd November.
https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/What-s-...3/td-p/4462504

Also CNBC HD launched this month on Freesat with SD channel no longer available

Was no mention of DAZN channel launching on Virgin in press release in March only the app.

I have seen been thinking it may turn out to be CNBC HD since I was given the information last Friday.

(Holding back was to give me time to try and get the names of the HD Channel and also the channels that are set to close on December 31st)

---------- Post added at 12:48 ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 ----------

That new HD Channel may launch on Virgin Media as soon as next Thursday as CNBC will be only in HD from November 2nd on Sky.
