Perhaps part of the agreement was to bring back this channel as a VM exclusive?

Eh? Theres plenty of space in the music area of the EPG? Are VM running out of bandwidth to carry channels or something?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
I don't think the news will be completely new to us. It will either be Sky channels (MB has tried to put me off the scent), Fox+, Premiere Sports or news of inclusion in the XL pack. That is, PS. Or Netflix.

No, it's just nonsense to cover up the real reason!

Any time after midnight one imagines as there is no set time in stone.
