Found this on Digital Spy from 2010...
Virgin Saying Bye To MTV Shows , MTV +1 and MTV Classic from 24th August...
I dont understand what is going on here. There is a message screen on channel 321 where MTV Classic used to be saying that a few popular music chanels will be saying goodbye... Mtv shows and MTV Classic were part of a new line up only a few months back, and now they are getting rid of them ? I loved VH1 classic and when it was taken off and replaced by MTV classic I thought maybe it was a setp forward in the right direction... I am aware that it is now the 30th of August, but they kept there words, these channels have now vanished from Virgin.
Now I see there wont be any classic music channel other than Magic, and MTV shows is going to along wth MTV+1. I hope Virgin have struck a good deal with Sky to replace these channels as this is a big blow to lose these music channels. If it wasn't bad enough already, Virgin have already lost a good number of popular radio channels as well.. Are they any plans to replace all these channels and radio stations we are losing on Virgin, or is this standard across both the Sky and Virgin platforms ?

Is this the same Travel Channel that was cable exclusive years ago that eventually left cable and went FTA onto satellite?
Is it still on the Sky EPG as a FTA channel?

Unconfirmed but I think LG will start doing deals with Broadcasters for both Virgin Media and UPC Ireland.
Maybe that why Food Network and Travel Channel are both set to launch on Virgin???
