Been trying to think up another Lego joke but the pieces just won’t fit together.

Is there going to be a Lego+1 channel is the big question. Let's hope so.

-CNN HD
-Discovery Turbo +1
-Food Network +1
-Quest Red +1
-Boomerang HD
-Cartoonito HD
I doubt we'll get those +1 channels that are on Sky.

+1's are primarily used as a way to squeeze a bit more ad revenue out of advertisers, however, because Virgin is the most expensive platform to broadcast on and because many use VOD instead these days, it wouldn't be profitable to add timeshifts for the more niche channels.

Something about almost everyone having six tuners too I’d imagine.

On the other hand the +1's and fast channels make the program guide look fuller which may encourage new subscribers.

Quality not quantity!

Give me Talking Pictures+1 by all means, or some other proper movie channel to replace TCM (I'm sure Sky gave them a bung to stop broadcasting!).
QVC Extra doesn't float my boat....

TBC. Anger Management may launch soon on Virgin Media UK.

It isn't Anger Management.
It could be.... DAZN Women's Football.

As much as I would love it if CNN International returned to Virgin TV, don't forget that they have launched a FAST channel as well so my fear is that this FAST channel might be more likely to be added instead of the main live TV channel but the new owners - Warner Brothers Discovery-- do seem more open to maintaining
their traditional channels as well so there is some hope

They aren't mutually exclusive. Rakuten carries both the International service and the FAST channel.
