OMG

If BBC London HAS launch in Ex-C&W areas can anyone in Ex-C&W areas see if Virgin Media has added anymore local BBC Radio Channels to the network in their area?

And also give out their channel numbers.

Not got the radio stations or BBC news multiscreens here yet.

Movies 24 has rebranded to Christmas 24 on Virgin Channel 424.

[Horizon]

MB: It's rebranding, not rebrand.

Edit: I wasn't right either!

As it's happened today, it should read:

Movies 24 has rebranded to Christmas 24....

Looks like we both need a English lesson.

BET HD do not broadcast in the UK and Ireland.

BET may appear when Virgin Media deal with BET owners MTV/VH1 is up and their need to sign an new deal.

Apart from BBC London 94.9 on Ch 937 none of the above list showing in South Herts

[Felim_Doyle]

None of those local stations are showing here in Aylesbury yet. I suppose we get the London stations because we are considered to be in the London region for VM purposes (e.g. we get London News on BBC TV).
