Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)

Why would Sky bring out a new channel that shows repeats of Sky 1 shows? Doesn't make sense to me. Throw in a few reality shows and people will watch :-) haha

I thought that's what Sky Go, Sky Box Sets and "On Demand" was for...so you could watch what you want, when you want?

If Sky 2 does Rebrand into Sky Bravo then Sky might shuffle some of there shows around that appear on sky 1 and sky living:

TV Shows on Sky that could move to Sky Bravo
NCIS: LA
HAWAII 5-O
CRIMINAL MINDS
ROSS KEMP DOCUMENTARIES
KARL PILKINGTON
SOCCER AM
THE BLACKLIST
A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN
Z NATION
50 WAYS TO KILL YOUR MAMMY

SKY 1 Will Probabbly Keep Arrow and The Flash on there channel.

I think they should give Pick a new name or rebrand back to Sky 3 if they can't think of a new name.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)

Apart from Bravo there was another channel that shared the slot with bravo on NTL BACK in The 90's and that channel was called Trouble which aired shows for teens in the day and bravo only aired at night.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)

As i understand it this was very much on the cards a few years back, Sky were trying to use it to get Virgin to stump up the asking price for Sky Atlantic. Virgin still said no and talk of Sky Bravo was dropped.

I think they should give Pick a new name or rebrand back to Sky 3 if they can't think of a new name.
Would certainly fit the programe profile mentioned in the survey I completed. They did specifically mention the channel would be home of the super hero shows. Whether that's repeats or first showings I don't know. I forgot to mention Star Trek.

When it started (on cable only) in 1985, it showed a lot of old ITC shows. I think it went onto satellite in 1993.

I don't understand how launching Sky Bravo (or not) would have influenced VM's decision on whether to pay the asking price for Sky Atlantic

I think the reasoning was this, which I seem to recall came from a Grauniad (Guardian) article.

Sky were interested in starting another basic pay TV channel but needed the add revenue from not only Sky, but VM customers as well, so VM would need to add it to their Sky basics package.

In return (and this may have come from someone who thinks adding 1 plus 1 equals 3) Sky would do a deal to let VM have Atlantic.

The whole thing sounds like a fairy tale and probably was.
