Great news!

About time they included this in the package, great news

dbateman2k5 · 28-08-2005, 11:53

Any news on UKTV Style Gardens launching on NTL ?

Last I heard was that it would be coming to NTL sometime this autumn

Daniel H · 28-08-2005, 13:32

Apparently there is a shopping channel launching as well on ntl that is, anyone know which one?

Also, I didnt know but I read on www.quiztelly.com that a new quiz channel is launching on ntl on tuesday, the one from channel 4

jonifen · 28-08-2005, 16:07

I can't understand why NTL would allow more shopping channels to exist - they could do so much more with the available bandwidth that these channels chew up!

However, I realise its a case of the channel that coughs up the most cash for a space get in, so I suppose I'll just fling it down the bottom of the favourites list along with all the channels we don't get

Motors TV looks good though from what I've seen on Sky and I think Horror channel will go down well in our house

can you list the 12 new channels that are coming

ntlrocks · 28-08-2005, 17:55

Over on Digital spy , a number of hidden channels have been found.

Also CS said that around 12 new channels would be launching in september (2 of which are adult PPV)...some off my head were

E!.
VH2.
Shopping channels.
UKTV Gardens.
2 UKTV + 1's.
Horror Channel
Motors TV
Community Channel (Langley)
Quiz Call TV, is also another channel rumored

No Wrestling channel mentioned, and the hidden channel numbers are:

165
170
171
172
173
174
175
177
615

I'm happy about VH2, shame TWC isnt there considering it gets more viewers on sky than E! does

Rillington · 28-08-2005, 22:05

Those channels are not a surprise. VH2 and Motors appeal to the hetero lads, E, the shopping channels and Style Gardens appeals to the women and the Horror Channel whilst men orientated appealsd to both.

Nothing for the gays then? Na didn't think there would be.

jtwn · 28-08-2005, 22:32

*sigh* Don't bring that old chestnut up again. It makes sense to market towards the majority, not the niche. I think the channel selection is ok; its not like I can think of any other I want desperately so its good they are not just all shopping channels.

so what kind of tv do "the gays" watch then?

I know plenty of gay people, some who are into Heavy Metal, some who are into Westlife. Some who will watch motor sports, some who would watch Interior design shows.

I don't think someone's sexuality really has much to do with what kind of TV they watch.

ntlrocks · 29-08-2005, 00:38

there are two PPC Adult channels coming, perhaps gay ones?....though i very much doubt it.

To describe a gay mans taste in television would be impossible, all guys - i'm sure - have different tastes so in affect, a gay channel might only appeal to a very small number of people.
