Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III. - Page 32

do we really need more movie channels?

I think movie channels will fade away overtime as a result of lovefilm streaming and other such services. I'd rather have ITV2-4HD.

I will not name them until an other insider pm me with the names of the channels that I know of.

They must be big channels , I can't think of five that VM don't have unless we count some of the low budget ones or those electric sofa ones.

But you are forgetting MGM HD and Sky Movies Classics HD channel.

Oh, looks like it'll be five of these then:

MGM HD
Sky Movies Classics HD
TCM 2
Horror Channel + 1
True Movies 2
Movies4Men
Movies4Men + 1
Movies4Men2
Movies4Men2 + 1
Nollywood Movies

Im hoping for the first five, the rest of the CBS and CSC channels would be pretty good too!

Never mind movie channels they want to focus on the likes of History HD, ITV 2,3 & 4 HD, Sky Atlantic HD as well as the UKTV HD channels and Sky Sports HD3 & HD4 though I suspect latter 2 will be near impossible to get.

20-07-2011, 20:02

I'd imagine it will be the three electric sofa and the two M4M channels.

From a sporting point of view I'd like to see ESPN 2, ESPN News and Premier Sports. I noticed in the article someone posted a few days ago, which suggested Disney might try and buy SKY that the article mentioned ESPN are looking to launch a news channel to rival SKY's .

Virgin getting channels in the next few months will have nothing to do with whether Murdoch's in trouble or not.

There is still like 60% of Sky that isn't Murdoch owned, so I'm sure the chance of us getting Sky owned channels will increase if anything now that he's occupied with other things, letting the other shareholders who are hopefully less ruthless with their channels being on other platforms.

That will require them offering an offer Sky can't afford to refuse
