Roll on the speculation about the space use, assuming it's not abandoned to make cost savings.

Why "cost savings" when Discovery got Good Food, Home, Really and a reported £173m from BBC Studios?

Something like:

278 Good Food > Food Network
279 Good Food HD > Food Network HD (new)
280 Good Food +1 > Food Network +1 (new)

291 Food Network > Travel Channel
292 Travel Channel > Travel Channel +1 (new)

That way Virgin Media would lose 3 channels but gain 3 others.

Channels moving to new channel numbers will not happen until Discovery signs an new deal with Virgin Media.

We think Channels 278 to 282 are own by UKTV as part of the 2018 deal.

We think Discovery Shed, Quest Red and Travel Channel will all be axe soon by Discovery in the UK and Ireland.
