Viacom is adding extra channels such as VIVA +1 and 5STAR +1 to Freeview (DTPS licences issued by Ofcom) but there's no confirmation of where they are going. There is quite a lot of spare capacity on Freeview for very limited hours during the day. It's possible that Viacom may be joining the other EPG squatters on Freeview and adding channels for a few hours in an attempt to gain better EPG slots. I guess we'll find out fairly soon.
If they add channels full time, they may also want to add them on VM, again, we'll find out eventually.

5* +1 was axe by Channel 5 old owners for Channel 5 +24 to launch on Sky and Virgin Media UK.
But when Viacom took over they axe BET +1 for 5* +1 to relaunch on Sky.
What have Viacom axe since Channel 5 takeover (Base on info we seen happen on Sky)?
-BET +1 was axe for 5* +1 to relaunch.
-MTV +1 was axe for Spike TV to launch.
-MTV Live SD was axe for MTV Music +1 to launch.
-MTV Live HD was axe for Nick Jr. HD to launch.
