The Style Network isn't my idea of a great channel however it's one of my wifes favourites. It's aimed at a female audience so I can understand why it might not float your boat. Good to see Virgin catering more to their female customers.

May get slaughtered here but I think the vast majority of television is geared toward women. X Factor and Dance type shows, soaps, weight/health/food type shows, freakin Glee and that Bloomin Banjo guy

You are What You Eat is on from 8-9 in the morning. Just what I want to watch, someone having a colonic irrigation while I'm eating my coco pops.

Hey!
I sent a post earlier this month about if Liberty Global bought out Smallworld Cable and WightFibre and merged them with VM to form a sole British cable company if the broadcasting contracts with broadcasters will be re-signed and may even get the channels they broadcast and we don't. If you have forgotten the links, here they are:

If you have any comments about this topic, don't hesitate to put any comments on this thread!

No, I mean when I was roughly 10 I was forced to watch the rubbish my best friends older sister wanted to watch. She was into all the American stuff, so Nickelodeon was on pretty much everytime she was there and I was.

So I got hooked on rubbish like Sister Sister with the Towry twins. They have a show on Style Network, that it what I was referring to about one of my crushes being on.

Probably not until the contracts expired or were renegotiated, at which point they'd either be available across the combined network or dropped.

However... there's no indication that any such buyout or merger will take place.
