GOLD wasn't classed as a new channel when the UKTV channels were pulled and returned in HD.

When the UKTV channels were restored, Virgin simply reactivated the old services. CNN has been away for so long that they gave it a new ID number, so in that respect it is a new service. Nobody in the real world actually cares about that sort of technical explanation and most will consider it to be a returning service rather than a new one. As far as marketing goes, it is something new, something to promote and that's what we are seeing with the new channel claims.
