I was on about BBC Radio Wales and Magic 105.4 - the one that are only in Ex-ntl or Ex-C&W areas.

This weeks live sport on ESPN.

So it seems we're definatly on for more HD channels in 2010

Do our very reliable sources (you know who you are :p ) have any ideas on when and what?

I don't know anything for certain, but if you look at what's available, Sky channels excepted, there are only really a handful up for grabs; History, Bio, SciFi, ITV1, British Eurosport, Discovery, Disney Cinemagic, CI, Nat Geo Wild and Rush TV.

The only one Virgin has actually mentioned to my knowledge was a possible Good Food HD channel but one would hope that ITV1 HD won't be too long in escaping from its Freesat chains.

I think this month will see Virgin adding BBC Radio 4 LW and some local BBC Radio Channels to Ex-ntl and Ex-C&W areas. With the local BBC Radio Channels being move to Virgin Channel 937+ so that BBC Radio from Scotland, Wales and Ireland can appear on Virgin Channel 930 on the Ex-Telewest side before Virgin Media stop adding / removing channels on their EPG over Christmas and new year holidays.

Although no new channels are currently testing, I think you believe that Zone Horror will be replaced with a new CBS branded channel before January (quite probably CBS Drama, I would imagine). Is this still the case?

[Media Boy UK]

Virgin Media take Telewest ''Heart'' out.

An Ex-Telewest viewer has email me over the weekend with the following:

Hi Media Boy,

Not sure if you are already aware of this but I've just noticed that Heart Essex on 933 (was labeled Essex) and Heart Kent on 963 (was labeled Invicta) are no longer broadcasting in my area (Essex Ex-TW SS1). They were definately still on last month when I last checked but now the channel numbers are gone completely.

I have no news on the date for the Zone Horror rebranded yet. CBS Drama will join Virgin when CBS/Zone Media sign an new deal with Virgin.

NOTE: Zone Horror will not be replaced by CBS Drama it will be replaced by CBS Movies or CBS Horror.

So I take that there are no whispers on the horizon about E4HD which seems to be launching soon appearing on VM?

The E4 web site says E4 HD will only be on Sky HD from launch.

It makes me so annoyed when VM just go ahead and take channels off air, without even doing a customer survey first. argh.

Can't be long till E4 HD launches then, if they have a page set up for it. Shame it won't be on VM as well, poor decision.
