Sky Wildlife??

Isn't YourTV a partnership of both companies?

Media Boy Here is a very good question for you. Do you remember a channel that has just music attached to 'films' l forget what the channel was called.

But it was like watching a stream or the sea etc and it had music attached to it, and it was so soothing.

Any chance you have heard of the channel - it was on Sky, wondering if it ever come to VM

anything could happen in 25 months.

I only posted 25 months as I think the Virgin Media Ireland channels I listed will be with us in the UK by 2018.

I have only seen info on H2 HD being set to launch next month.

Sky Wildlife??

Sky are only (at time of posting) Under 40% own by Murdoch.

Maybe Fox Wildlife will happen when Fox own 100% of National Geographic.

From that 1st link you posted the new company will be called National Geographic Partners:

National Geographic Partners will be owned 73% by 21st Century Fox and 27% by the National Geographic Society. Both organizations will split operations equally, with a shared governance structure and equal representation on the board of directors. The National Geographic Society president and CEO, Gary Knell, will serve as the board’s first chairman.

Just as VM is rumoured to be getting H2 in HD, A&E US discontinues the channel in the US and replaces it with Viceland, a new joint venture with Vice. H2 is said to be continuing outside the US. http://www.broadbandtvnews.com/2015/...eate-viceland/

Seen online that a lot are to cancel their Nat Geographic magazine subscriptions because of this.

Expect to see the TV channel get dumbed down.

He has already gone back on his promise to maintain the integrity of the organisation by making the 'Fact Checkers' staff redundant.
