I don't wonder why they are reluctant at all, as I have said on many occasions. It annoys me that they drip feed information about launches but don't allow the details to be released until the channels are active. What's the point?
Also it's not a case of moaning about a few days delay. They had to delay the ITV HD due to technical issues, you'd have thought that with that experience they would have tested a little earlier for this launch. Oh, you know, sometime before releasing the channel details to the press.
This isn't a new channel and testing could have started sooner, TLC HD, however, is a new channel from the same broadcaster and launched on VM without any "technical problems".... kinda odd dontchya think?

Zing launches tomorrow on the M+, L and XL Packages.

If it was added on December 1st and removed on April 1st as your links suggest, it survived for only 4 months, not 6.
It does strike me as odd that Zee only wanted it in the higher packages when it was FTA on satellite. Although B4U Music is also FTA on satellite and restricted to the Asian package on VM, so who knows?

Indeed, it be like not correcting 4:3 aspect channels with the widescreen flag set on? e.g. TCM2 / Cartoonito.
...oh wait!
