Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2

I think VM/Eurosport/Discovery, can't remember which, bought a minority stake in Formula E a few years ago which game them some rights??

Here we go:

Indeed. Like me, I trust you're happy with over ten new channels en route to VM including popular channels like Spike and TruTV.

Here why Copa 90 is on Demand:

Liberty Global’s media investment arm own a 14% stake in Big Balls Media, the London-based firm behind online football channel Copa90.

http://www.broadbandtvnews.com/2015/...-channel-firm/

You can see what Liberty Interactive Group own (As of December 2013):

Anybody know anything??
Thanks for the info. everybody, this explains Copa 90.

Was Formula E a pop up channel for a racing weekend at some point?

I said "apparently" because i'm not near a VM box at the moment, have these VOD channels actually been added?

They've also announced it on their Facebook page:

http://www.premiersports.com/2016-co...-copa-america/

It will cost £11.99.

Interesting re Copa 90, thanks for research. But the Wikipedia link is not about Liberty Global. I've struggled to find a full list of the company's investments, here's some of them: http://www.libertyglobal.com/ventures.html

The Mexico City ePrix was shown live on one of the 99* channels if I remember correctly. This was due to a scheduling conflict on ITV4 where they had a delayed viewing.

I share Den's scepticism on this. I think DisneyLife is designed to be watched on tablets not tellies.

If you have any great expectations for these two channels, I think the journey will be worse than the wait, Den!
