Re: Virgin TV (2026)
You get the impression they only did it because HBO Max streaming app launches at the end of next month across all major devices,

Yup. More and more channels are being removed or going FTA in return for crappy FAST ad infested channels. Another devaluation of the Virgin pay TV service.

Sky One will become the home of Sky’s unmissable comedy and entertainment programmes, including new shows The Dyers’ Caravan Park and Gemma Collins: Four Weddings and a Baby, as well as fan favourites Rob & Romesh Vs.., The Paper and Ted. Customers will be able to tune in from Tuesday 24 February on channel 106.

Sky One will also host Saturday Night Live UK, launching later this year.
Unmissable ?

They are largely very missable, Ted I could just about put up with.

This is no big reveal, Richard. All the good programmes we used to watch have gone to the streamers.

Virgin Flex and Sky Stream are good pointers to the way we are going.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
Three archive Sky Sports channels are available on SkyQ and Sky Stream:
Sky Sports Classics - classic EPL
Sky Sports Vault - classic EFL, Darts and Boxing
Sky Sports Stories - documentaries

Classics is also available via Samsung TV

Would be a nice VM addition

Three Rakuten film channels have been added to EPG
