I agree, and that was the largely the point of my comment. It is fairly common knowledge that Smooth Xmas will be returning to DAB, but this is the Coming Soon to Virgin TV thread, not Coming Soon to DAB.
Basically, I was questioning how relevant the information was to this thread.

An new carriage deal.
So you ever know with Virgin Media.

Savings may or may not come from a new carriage deal, that would depend on the actual terms of the deal. You didn't actually specify a new deal, just "savings" which is probably why other posters are asking where these savings would come from. As far as Viacom is concerned, there has been a trend for new channels to replace existing channels on VM. At the moment, there is no evidence to suggest that this trend will change. Time will tell.
