They are planning to sell the share in the UKTV channels which they partly own with the BBC, these channels include UKTV Food,UKTV Style,Blightly,Dave,DaveJaVu,Yesterday,Watch,Alibi and G.O.L.D. Channel 4 is most likely to buy them.

Virgin Media Television Limited formerly Flextech and United Artists TV which owns Living,Bravo,Challenge,Trouble and Virgin 1 has been planned for sale but dont think they will now.

But those UKTV channels definately have to go!!! They are useless!!! Constant repeats from the BBC,hopefully under Channel 4's ownership, more content will be added.

Virgin Media have recently sold off there shopping channels.
