Confirmed: Spike TV to launch April 15th.
Viacom has confirmed that Spike TV will launch on Freesat, Sky and Freeview on April 15th.
No confirmed news yet on if Spike TV will also launch on Virgin Media .
Media Boy HQ has seen no confirmed information on Spike TV testing or Viacom are even in talks with Virgin.

The first I was told was that Spike would be starting "about Easter", then 10 April was pencilled in as a provisional start date.
I think that 15 April sounds correct as a definate start date (even if it appears to have slipped by a few days) as from this date all non music programming has been moved from Viva.

There are no plans whatsoever to launch a HD variant; haven't heard anything one way or the other regarding a +1 variant. Personally, I doubt it.

If you're saying this because Sky have closed the SD launch queue, there are currently a fair few SD EPG slots going following recent channel closures.
