As TLC is going FTA on satellite, if it isn't already the case, it should become available to all Virgin subscribers from the lowest pack upwards.

There are now rumours that the date for the European MTV channels to start closing is on November 30th. Since this is a French post, it also mentions that MTV itself is potentially closing in France, alongside other Paramount brands like Paramount Network, Comedy Central, BET and Game One. The only remaining channels in France will be the Nickelodeon feeds.

I wonder if any of the Paramount channels available in the UK are at risk?
All our channels are at risk these days, Richard. We’ve lost some good ones already, like Disney and FX.

Re: Virgin TV (2025)

Well I can safely say I didn’t see TLC changing into E4 coming, I thought it would close. This is an improvement, TLC was drivel IMHO. Merging HGTV into Really makes sense too.

It was fresh and vibrant back in the day. Bea is and Butt-Head was a bit weird, though.

I'm quite surprised that HGTV is the channel getting axed, rather than the awkwardly named Quest Red.

TLC becoming a broader entertainment channel, using some of the Warner Bros. Television content, was more predictable.
