Channels most like to appear in 2012

These are the channels which i think are most likely to appear on VM in the coming year - not in any order of preference:

Premier Sports
Sky Atlantic
Sky Sports F1
CBS Drama

HD versions of:

ITV2, ITV3, ITV4
ESPN America
possibly the HD versions of the History and Disney channels

Re: Channels most like to appear in 2012

I would also say Sky Sports F1 HD is likely to appear in March 2012.

Well if History HD is likely to come in 2012 so is CI HD and Bio HD.
I would also say Universal HD is likely to appear in 2012
I would also say Nat Geo Wild HD is likely to appear in 2012.
Also More4 HD is likely to appear in 2012

I am not even sure Sky Atlantic will come in 2012.

I am not sure that the disney channels in HD , Cartoon Network HD and Nickelodeon HD will come in 2012.

Regarding History, I agree that it is likely that the offshoot channels would also appear, which is why I said the History channels rather than just History - sorry to be pedantic.

Re: Channels most like to appear in 2012

Virgin Media are very confident the HD version of Sky Sports F1 will also be on the Virgin Media.

Quote:

Just to put you in the picture...

VM have already been in talks with Sky over the new F1 channel

Yes they should be carrying it when it starts in March 2012

It will be at no extra cost because it will be included in the sports package

As for the HD version of the channel we are very confident that that this will also be on the VM platform

Once I get any further information I will let you all know, but for now please don't go asking any other questions, because this is as much as I can tell you for now

Re: Channels most like to appear in 2012

Im thinking we will be getting about 10-15 channels next year, most likely it will be CBS Drama, ITV 2/3/4 HD, Sky Sports F1 and maybe some other HD channels!
