Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
My EPG now shows as of 01/08/2013
ESPN America = No programe information
ESPN Classic = This channel will no longer be available
ESPN HD & SD = Normal Tv listings ??
Does this mean an announcement is due any time soon ??

I'd even get a virgin media tattoo on my buttocks if they can announce it today.

Probably going to be disapointed but at least you will not have to get the tattoo done.
Can't see anything being announced by or on 1st August, would like to be suprised but have my ear to the ground on all this stuff and have heard nothing apart from they are in discussion with both Sky and BT

As far as I know some new announcements are due to be make by Virgin Media very soon (In the coming days).

I am really starting to think that poster who started this rumour about the channel launches on August 1st is right.
Maybe Virgin cant confirm them launching due to the deals they have signed with broadcasters.
Here is what BomberAF posted: http://www.vmhd.blogspot.co.uk/2013/...coming-in.html

Indeed 
If any embargo in place is not adhered to, this may push BT to abort any plans that may have been made to launch BT Sports on VM, as it could be viewed as a breach of contract.

Sincere apologies if this question has been asked a thousand times....
If ESPN America is to stop broadcasting in the UK, who will show live MLB games? Or will the UK no longer MLB games?

Aye if it has been a deal made then sky and bt will want to continue their aggressive propaganda till the day before the channel launches. I'd love to know how many people have switched over
If they announce anything today will the whole forum join me in getting extremely drunk this evening?
