Well, all the VM exclusives are on demand right now. The advantage of having a named channel on which on demand programmes appear is that people start identifying with it. Virgin should also have a link to it by channel number to make it easier for people unfamiliar with on demand.

I certainly have no objection at all if Virgin want to create a linear channel, but I don't know if this would profit them to do so if some of the programming was to be exclusive to VM. They would need a decent sized audience to make a linear channel pay.

Hopefully, the Olympic Channel will be making its way to Virgin's on demand system on 21 August.
