The difference is I never post saying dates I just post info I hear, i'm expecting the channels to arrive by the end of November but maybe earlier , possibly around the launch of ITV 3 and 4 HD. Remember nothings concrete until the Virgin press release.

Mr Crozier explained at the time that using its content across a range of platforms is a key part of its future plans.

More money in virgins pockit

and more HD for us all good all round, just think this time next year we could have 50 or more HD channels

In amongst all the fuss about HD channels, you can almost lose track of "normal" channel launches :-)

I seem to recall mentions Al Jazeera once, that's gone by the wayside.

And without wishing to dredge up old threads, would I be right in thinking some of the obscure MTV channels are caught in VM/Viacom politics?

That's all for now :-)

Yes i would love to see Al Jazeera on vm you are right it seems to have gone by the way prefer it to sky news which i find too tabloidy,i see Al Jazeera even has a small presence on freeview for a limited amout of hours so why not vm?

As for MTV channels do not know as i never have them on,far too much pop pap and dance and club music on last time i looked for my likeing bring back Ray Cokes.!

I agree Digital Fanatic back then MTV for me was a lot better others may though disagree,MTV Europe was a great watch with more music leaning to my listening ie Rock but i do sometimes watch kerrang,i wish VM would get more heavy rock on their music on demand some motorhead, deeppurple,Zeppelin ,Rolling Stones,Hawkwind, would not go down badly.

media boy

if liverpool fc go in administration what would happen 2 lfc tv

Gavin-D · 15-10-2010, 16:37

Looking very unlikely that Liverpool will go into administartion now as Tom Hicks and George Gillett have accepted defeat in their attempts to block the club's sale

But if they did i'd guess they would close it down.

The chances of this coming to Virgin Media because of sky is next to none.

Well there's no exclusive written in the article and Virgins Executive Director of television Cindy Rose came from Disney.
