No doubt when this channel launches it will be renamed "The Donald Trump (lets slag off Hilary Clinton even more than we currently do) News Channel"....

I must say since cancelling my sky sub, I do miss Fox News. It's a little reminder that America is more than just the liberal East Coast/Californian view of things. There are other opinions too and Fox News broadcasts those loud and proud. I'm just waiting for one of their presenters to present a show armed with a machine gun...

We were meant to be getting CNN HD and CNN USA too, is that still happening?

We have seen an photo of Fox News testing.

I wasn't asking for proof MB, I believe you.:)

All the no spin comments are from a Fox News show called The O'Reilly Factor where the presenter basically lays into everyone and calls everyone a liar unless they agree with him. One of the parts of the show is called "The No Spin Zone". It's good entertainment, but it ain't news! Check it out when it launches.

Just noticed this. Which pack is it in (it should really be in M as a Freeview channel).

Aye it calms me down a tad den not having free view channels just seemed lazy and cheap by VM!

What is encouraging is that Tru TV is from Turner so a completely separate deal to the Fox News one. VM is pretty busy at the moment striking deals!

Not for those two channels I won't be, Den, although I know some people will appreciate them. ;)

Earlier in the year, Vince said something like VM's head of acquisitions was asleep on the job. In fact, the situation was far worse than that - there wasn't such a person! Since that Telegraph article in April advising that David Bouchier had been appointed to sort VM's TV offering out, I have been optimistic that content issues will be addressed. It looks to me that they are, piece by piece.

What obtainable*, non-+1 SD channels are left of any importance? Just Spike and some of the Sony channels really.
*ie not AMC, ITV Encore, Sky Atlantic and Sky Sports Mix as these are not obtainable
