The original UK Drama morphed into Alibi, concentrating on a narrower crime drama genre.

I would have thought one of the vacant slots in the entertainment range. Although Blighty doesn't really fit very well in the factual / documentary section as it has a large amount of lifestyle content. UKTV's new Drama channel would be out of place on channel 206.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before but Bio. + 1 only operates between 5am and 7am on Sky. It's more of a placeholder for the channel 197 slot on Sky than an actual channel, as such it is unlikely to come to Virgin Media. Maybe you could make a note of this on your owned by link.

Technix has also stated this on DS:



If correct, this should bring the following channels to VM:

MTV HD 183
BET 184
MTV MUSIC 310
Nick HD 714
Thanks for info.

I was thinking that Virgin was going to launch MTV LIVE on Virgin Channel 310 - beside MTV LIVE HD.

Comedy Central Extra +1
MTV CLASSIC
MTV LIVE
MTV +1
Nick Jr. +1
BET +1
I think the rest of the 'new channels' (MTV CLASSIC and MTV LIVE) will launch - but not this week.

It also look like given what channel numbers Virgin have given Viacom for the channel launches on Thursday we will not get Comedy Central Extra +1, MTV +1 and Nick Jr +1

The Bond channel is back with Skyfall on July 1.

Quote:
Get ready to be shaken and stirred because as Skyfall arrives on Sky Movies on July 1, all the other Bond movies will not only be available on demand, but back in one place on the dedicated channel Sky Movies 007 HD.

Sky Movies 007 and Sky Movies 007 HD will be on Virgin Channels 410 and 440.
