If Gold Radio do move it look like Virgin Media has signed an new deal with Global Radio unless Global Radio has told Virgin Media to move Gold Radio. If new deal has been signed we may also get: •Capital FM TV •Heart FM TV •The Arrow •Smooth Radio Extra (Only on DAB and Virgin?) |

I doubt anything like vutv will launch on tivo as that would rival vms own offering of channels such as history etc. |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 4
Have virgin media released anything about world box??? No announcements whatsoever. Seems very odd for no press release or information on it?? A lot of people having to check if its chargeable by coming onto forums etc and finding out...

That's what I was thinking, but every ad break they had yesterday, they were saying from Monday Gold is moving from channel 959 on Virgin to channel 923. Probably move overnight tonight then.

I believe Global are going to be launching quite a few new stations next year the first will be heart Extra which will replace smooth xmas

I can see them going back to VM with their tail between their legs in the not too distant future...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 4
You'd have to be a total obsessed fan to pay for a channel of your team.
|
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 4
Not really, the model to follow is Benfica TV HD which as well as being the club channel shows a lot of other good sporting events, it's something I believe MUTV is trying to emulate having shown quite a few live international matches since they bought themselves out.

News just in:
Fans of Liverpool FC TV will need to pay £7 per month extra. LFC TV has relaunch on Virgin Channel 544 today. |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 4
wow, Liverpool FC or Now TV which will include Sky Atlantic, take your pick
|
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 4
Does that include HD variant or not?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 4
Expensive for a one sport channel. One for the avid fan.

If Sky have the SD and HD variants and VM just the SD version, I wonder if Sky have agreed to this to make the channel viable, given the very poor take up on the Sky platform? |

Looks like SD only currently

My guess is that VM made a final offer and said take it or leave it and LFC declined the offer. After taking a look at their Sky subscription figures they realised that they needed VM more than VM needed them and accepted the deal on the table. As it appears that Sky were involved in the decision to make the channel a Sky exclusive, it looks like they have compromised and allowed the SD version onto VM. I doubt that the HD variant will arrive for a very long time, if at all. Still, Sky actually compromising is unheard of :D |

i think eventually football rights will be purchased individually by each club. i see this being about 20 years or so to be honest but it'll happen one day. 10-15 quid a month to see all your clubs games would be a nice price. but as a more neutral fan (newcastle at heart) but i enjoy seeing other teams play. For it to be sold on an individual team basis would make it very expensive for people like me to watch random games :( I believe the christmas shut down has begun now and there wont be anymore channel launches or changes after all the radio changes?? |

There are "no current plans" to extend this to VM, but (in my view only) I think it will eventually take place on VM if not too many sign up on VM. I don't think they will if a much larger platform like Sky can't attract customers and that they will offer promotional pricing in the following month/s on VM too. |

I've heard of Bollywood, but not Nollywood! Take it it's an asian thing.
Going back to LFC TV, it wouldn't surprise me if they started doing free weekends to entice potential subscribers. January will be a lean month when everybody has spent up and their credit cards bills start arriving. |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 4
Nollywood is Nigerian

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 4
Thanks.
---------- Post added at 09:21 ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 ---------- Reports coming in that Sky are now contacting customers offering them three months at half price for LFC TV. Wonder how long it will take for this offer to reach VM. Those who said that they wouldn't pay £7 a month, would you subscribe for £3.50? |

£7 is a bit pricey for a TV channel whose football team "owners" haven't won anything for 9 years. Manchester City TV would reel in the readies for Virgin Media. Come On Manchester City TV!!! :)

That's all well and good but many of the XL channels have gone into the lower tier packages so what are we getting to replace them? Maybe a few HD versions of the current SD channels like Universal would be a start.
