Both channels have also been pulled from Sky, although they still remain available on Freeview at this time.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
Info below from https://news.virginmediao2.co.uk/vir...no-extra-cost/
Virgin Media O2 is today (May 28, 2026) announcing the launch of two brand-new streaming channels (also known as Fast Ad Supported TV) – 8 out of 10 Cats and Pointless – offering Virgin TV customers even more around-the-clock entertainment, at no extra cost.
8 out of 10 Cats (Ch250) and Pointless (Ch 251) are both available to stream today to all Virgin TV360 and Stream customers, directly from their set-top box. The brand-new streaming channels offer 24/7 access to binge-worthy hit shows and round the clock entertainment.
The new channels which are operated by Banijay Rights join the existing 37 streaming channels available to Virgin TV customers already, which include U&Transport, British Screen Classics and Inside Crime.
The "new" channels are actually replacements for Deal or No Deal and Mythbusters which previously occupied those slots.

Sounds like they're doing what Sky do with their cinema channels ie trying to make it look like new channels are being offered, but conveniently forgetting to mention that the same number of channels have closed.

How utterly 'Pointless'....
If anyone watches these channels 'round the clock', they need help, or their carer to change channel for them.

I packed in with TV in general many years ago.
There's nothing new, it's all been done before (often better), and the way things are filmed nowadays leave much to be desired with lighting and audio quality . . not to mention the pathetic overdose of morals and 'goodness' in almost every story.

Not to mention that the replacement FAST channels are being withheld from the V6. A sign of things to come.

Aye - things were better back then!
We had things back then you can't get nowadays - you know, like rickets, diphtheria, polio, asbestos, outside toilets, lead paint, and Hitler...
