VM have already anounced other HD channels will be added later this year.

It's ESPN America HD that is launching on Sky on Monday. They've also got Channel 5 HD launching soon too.

From page 1

"-Virgin rumoured to be looking to add the HD Channels: MGM HD, Disney Cinemagic HD, Rush HD, History HD, Bio HD, CI HD, Nat Geo Wild HD, Hallmark HD, Five HD, Luxe HD."

We will have to wait and see what gets launched.

How do you know it won't launch?

Must admit I'm a bit disappointed that Virgin have not announced anything about ESPN America HD. Would like to see Hallmark HD and also Disney Cinemagic Hd for the little one.

we shouldnt have to contact VM to get then to think about carrying HD channels.
VM are a carrage company its their duty to customers to offer them as much content thats available, if they cant to that then VM clearly are not doing their job right. it will be more to do with the fact that VM are unwilling to pay the carrage charge rather than dont know about ESPN America HD.

saying all this i would of thought the ESPN America HD would of been automatically added to the ESPN package especially as VM have a special carrage contract. it strage the VM are either not bothered about carrying the channel or ESPN are insisting that ESPN America HD becomes a premium pay channel with VM.

-ITV to drop the GMTV Brand.

I would say the rebranding would take place when the World Cup ends and Adrian Chiles (and possibly Christine Bleakley) take over the breakfast show, as this would make sense.

How do we know that VM are not already in negotiations with ESPN? Infact I would say that they hae to be.

The same thing happened last year with ESPNHD, $KY announced the carriage deal but VM stayed silent until they suddenly trumped $KY by saying they have secured the deal to offer it free to XL. It could be that VM are working for the same thing.
