I mean yeah 344 to 398 is looking really full right now.  |
When this channel was first announced, I believe that they said it would be on Freeview, Freesat, Sky and VM.
They are now said to be only launching on Freesat and Sky.
There are currently nearly two 24 hour streams on DTT up for lease, as well as lots of bits and pieces that other broadcasters don't use.
I would, however, expect them to pipe it over the internet to freeview boxes because of cost issues.
I'm surprised that it's not going to be on VM, it can't imagine that it would be an expensive channel to obtain and one of the reasons the channel has been created is to increase awareness of the Now That's What I Call Music brand.
Perhaps they are launching on satellite first due to the convenience (they are taking over the Greatest Hits TV slot as it is not performing well) and it will come to other platforms in the future?
