We have just been updated by our Media Boy Sources to say "BIKE is not using EXTREME SPORTS capacity as EXTREME SPORTS is still off the EPG. They broadcast on different freq anyway.

Apparently, EPG listings on Extreme Sport resume from 11/1/16. Can someone check what these listings are?

I don't have access to a VM box at the moment and am wondering if Bike will take over the old Extreme Sports EPG slot, albeit using a different frequency.

The listings are said to resemble Extreme Sports programming, but labelled " new" :confused:

Are VM planning on bringing us the overseas version of Extreme Sports to replace the defunct UK version??

Is this Bike (they did say that they would be showing some former Extreme Sports programmes)??

Watched a bit of Bike on SKY, not great. Not sure this will even appeal to bike enthusiats that much.

Post 106 says that the name & content are just temporary.

looks like BT may be working on another new channel.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/foo...oadcaster.html

"Best's shock exit is understood to follow a major disagreement with the way the network, which has built up an impressive portfolio of sports rights in a short period, were planning their future. This is believed to centre on developing a rival to Sky One rather than concentrating all their resources on sport."

Their viewers will increase even further now that Really, Yesterday and Drama are no longer pay channels and are now on Freesat. Dave is expected to join Freesat at some point too.

Sometimes - not always - such rumours can be a case of circular reporting ie one person interprets a news story and suggests it might happen. Someone on another forum says that they've seen a rumour and then another forum says that they've read it in several places. :)
