You can watch YouTube via your Virgin Media box (They did only say ''hope to also launch on YouTube'')

A selection of shows on YouTube for on-demand viewing may be the way to go, as long as they are refreshed regularly. I can't see live crafting shows on Facebook pulling in many viewers.

Good question. There isn't even much activity about it on the "crafttelly" forum. These businesses don't seem to be doing well in the current economic climate as Sara Davies of the Dragon's Den would probably agree.

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
Due to information we have seen from my Sources tonight (January 11th) I have make up my mind up to stop reporting any new news about Craft Store Ltd.
---------- Post added at 00:03 ---------- Previous post was at 00:00 ----------
I only started to report on Craft Store Ltd as no information was known on how Craft Store would broadcast on Wednesday Night.
But we now know Craft Store is set to launch on Facebook and maybe also YouTube.

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
Is this a competition to see how many times you can say "Craft Store" in one post.

*The Create & Craft web was sold in December to Hobbycraft
*The Create & Craft Facebook pages was sold to Paul Wright
*Paul Wright did own the Create & Craft studios
In other news London Live (on Channel 159 in London) will close at midnight on January 20th.

Maybe Virgin should just pop up a slate right now and tell London viewers to watch True Crime. That's pretty much all they'll get when London TV takes over the channel.

London Live has been took over by Local Television - reports say the new channel is launch at 6am on January 21st with a working name of ''London TV''.
But DS Forum is reporting that Virgin is just showing "to be announced" in the programme guide from Monday onward.*
*Information right as of 2am last night.

Yes, I did say "when London TV takes over the channel". It's probably more than just a "working name" that's the way they brand all of their channels.The pause of transmissions has also happened with previous local channel takeovers / acquisitions.

Listings run up until 5:59, I wonder if they're saying midnight because they can't guarantee the programmes will be shown whilst they reconfigure the feeds?
