When it was first shown there was incredible drama. You really didn't know if the cast would live for the whole entire season

6am until noon is a teleshopping slot on 5 USA, previously used by The Jewellery Channel.

The original UK Drama morphed into Alibi, concentrating on a narrower crime drama genre.

I would have thought one of the vacant slots in the entertainment range. Although Blighty doesn't really fit very well in the factual / documentary section as it has a large amount of lifestyle content. UKTV's new Drama channel would be out of place on channel 206.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before but Bio. + 1 only operates between 5am and 7am on Sky. It's more of a placeholder for the channel 197 slot on Sky than an actual channel, as such it is unlikely to come to Virgin Media. Maybe you could make a note of this on your owned by link.

Technix has also stated this on DS:

Also to be added:
MTV HD - 183
Nick HD - 714
|
If correct, this should bring the following channels to VM:
MTV HD 183
BET 184
MTV MUSIC 310
Nick HD 714

I never noticed that, I don't think the VM EPG mentioned The Jewellery Channel in the listings.
Good point about Bio+1.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
MV HD and MTV Music would be welcomed additions.
That said, MTV was never the same when we were moved from MTV Europe!.
I used to like Ray Cokes!. Bring back MTV Europe.

I agree, just not the same, wish they would bring it back how it was. I just don't bother with any of the MTV channels now. Lost that feeling they once had.

Looks like BET will definitely be launching this week on 184, as the BET awards were just advertised for the 2 July, and it showed the VM channel number at the bottom.

All we need now is the holy grail and the force within is getting a good feeling on that.

I foresee that they will all come next week, I doubt they will advertise +1's and MTV Classic has been there before, and we already have MTV Live, just the HD only version

Perhaps Chad can lend you his beloved and often right crystal ball  as the dark forces are strong with him at the moment.

Dave did get higher ratings than UKTV G2, but UKTV G2 was never on Freeview so its not a great comparison. Mind you UKTV G2 doesn't exactly tell you what the channel is about either. The name Dave does at least indicate it has a male focus.
