Fingers crossed it will still come.
On the TV promo for MTV Music coming to 310, Classics logo can be seen with Hits, Base etc.
It would have been a good addition as it does have slightly different content, MTV Music and MTV Hits have very similar content and even repeat some of the same shows.

It seems odd that it is the only non-timeshift channel they haven't added. Things were shuffled around a little after MTV channels were removed last time, so maybe MTV has a reshuffle scheduled and will be dropping a channel, MTV Classics could then replace the removed channel. Entirely speculation, of course.

Pretty much because quite a few of the channels from the XL package have recently been added to lower packages. This only devalues the XL package, loss of ESPN will devalue it further.. they will have to bulk up the content at some point or reduce the price difference.
