Re: Virgin TV (2025)

Out of curiosity, are mixit and maxit customers with only Stream boxes able to subscribe to LFCTV and MUTV?

Do ITV Game shows NOT broadcast as a Linear channel right now under the name Challenge?

Re: Virgin TV (2025)

Challenge tv is a Sky channel which shows old games shows from maninly BBC, ITV and even Channel 4. A lot is quite old.

I suspect ITV Quiz is going to be just recent ITV material and will be replaced by something else later.

There are various different channels names come and go on ITVX.

A channel closure slate perhaps?

Isn't on Virgin at all

Discovery+ isn't likely to ever appear on Virgin now with Max (HBO, Warner Bros , DC, Adult Swim, Discovery, TNT Sports) launching early next year with Virgin apparently in discussions about that.

Looks like Cartoon Network & Boomerang will be closing as linear channels (but Sky & Now customers will still be able to access the programmes as HBO will be added to their packages at no extra cost in a similar way as Discovery+ etc is).

I've heard that Virgin are negotiating to get HBO. Has anyone heard anything more about this or if we will also be getting it for free?

Re: Virgin TV (2025)

Since read they close on Foxtel in Australia just 6 weeks after Max launched in Australia

It was carefully worded in press release about Cartoon Network , Cartoonito & Boomerang, Definitely leaves open the possibility of the channels closing with content from the channels still available on Max.
Quote:
The deal also sees Turner Kids content on channels including Cartoon Network, Cartoonito, and Boomerang remaining part of Sky and NOW’s comprehensive offering for years to come.
https://www.skygroup.sky/article/sky...ndle-agreement

Max is basically replacing Discovery+ entirely, which has been shut down in several countries outside the U.S

I get why it isn't called HBO but should really be called Warner , Georgie & Mandy First Marriage premiered on Max in Europe on 3rd April for example

Almost as carefully worded as your revised comment.

Re: Virgin TV (2025)

My V6 Box has reveal that NHK World Japan set to close on Virgin Media UK on March 30th at 4pm (Midnight Japan Time).

No news yet about Sky or Freesat.
