 Media Boy HQ thinks we know what new channels may launch.
 
But we will be keeping it close to our heart for now until Virgin Sources confirmed the names.

 Spike TV has recently started testing; it's due on air by the end of this month.

 If it was coming by the end of March you would think they would be mentioning a date by now.

			I'm going by the CEO of Viacom saying that the channel will be available from "The first quarter of 2015".  Interestingly, he also said that he "Considers the UK as the second home of Viacom". 
 
The date could have slipped, but Spike TV is currently testing on satellite with a testcard.  I hope that it won't stay on the transponder that it's testing on (or that VM won't get their feed via satellite) as there are already too many channels on it, with the resulting loss of picture quality.

 Well the actual US version of Spike is a great channel and has its own good shows. No idea at all what the UK version is going to show.
