STV Glasgow on Virgin Media.
STV Glasgow did launch on June 2nd in the ''West of Scotland'' area.
But Virgin Media are only broadcasting it in old NTL areas of Glasgow.
Even Media Boy HQ can view this channel on Freeview and Sky but not on my Virgin Media (Ex-Telewest) box in the west of Scotland.
Here we go again with the NTL VS Telewest carry on.

Re: STV Glasgow on Virgin Media.
Channel 23 on freeview. I presume the intention was to launch it on all VM platforms there was a problem with the ex-Telewest side of things.

Apparently the channel's licence is for Glasgow city only, which is covered by the ex-NTL network. Any overspill on Freeview is a bonus.

But the 'overspill' is NOT just on Freeview it also on Sky in an old Telewest area.

Re: STV Glasgow on Virgin Media.
But then that'll be purely down to the postcode check Sky are doing won't it, compared to the headend broadcast restriction VM are doing.
So although there is some 'overspill' with Sky, it's probably a lot less than VM would have if they put the channel on the ex-TW headend
Either way, where the channel broadcasts will have been agreed with STV themselves, so not sure what VM could do about it without their agreement.

So VM are the only company to get it right, then?

Re: STV Glasgow on Virgin Media.
When will it come to the South Lanarkshire area? It keeps getting advertised on stv saying it's on channel 159.

Get Freeview or move to Glasgow.
Virgin Media do not Believe in Local TV.
