Turner Network Television and Turner Classic Movies where both on air together for a short period of time. TNT used to show movies but got major recognition in the UK as the home of WCW wrestling. TNT dropped movies from their schedule which spawned the launch of TCM. TCM started in late 1999 but TNT didn't close until 8 months later. TCM did however move on the EPG to takeover TNT's spot on the EPG.

Here is a link to their programming in the States:

I really, really dislike Sky with a vengence but looking at the prices, even without any half price offers, moving back down to 60Mb BB and staying with VM for landline, I could save £30 a month but I would lose BT sport. All depends what the price rises are going to look like on the VIP pack come January.

I didn't say it will defo happen , i said it's expected by end of 2013. If i was to guess i'd say around about 10th december at latest along with the bbchd channels.

I see Netflix is on Channel 204 in the TV guide, makes it quicker to access

Looks like it's worth having if these programmes will be on the UK version, although some programmes are already on other UK channels.

Ok can we try to keep to the topic of coming soon or rumours of coming soon and not desend in to complete nonsense chatter as per the other Coming soon threads.

There is no evidence that Atlantic is coming to Virgin. Equally there is no evidence that it isn't. Nobody outside Sky or Virgin actually knows, although some posters feel they're in a position to be confident that it is, whilst others are less confident.

Personally, I can't see it.

[blue666666]

Nobody knows if the sky channels are coming on this forum because virgin aren't going to tell us. Just take as a very big pinch of salt, and try not worry about dates and launch dates virgin will say nothing any way and will launch sky channels when they are good and ready too. If that's this year as some say good if not then sod sky and if sky 3D not there I will throw a big hissy fit like the world never seen before

Those was the good ol' days. WCW and Tales of the Unexpected. TNT started just after Cartoon Network finished (it wasn't a all night thing like these days) around 8/9 at night.

Hopefully it wont :-)

So another week closer to 2014, and still no missing Sky Channels that many people on here are saying are Coming Soon and some have done for a long time!

I for one very much doubt an official list even exist of 'Coming Soon' channels, its not as if VM execs all sit round and scribble down some channel names on to post it notes then leave them lying about for 'insiders' to share with random people ;-)

End of Autumn is fast approaching though..

In meteorological terms, it starts on the 1st December.
In Astronomical terms (and some CF posters terms) its the 21st December..

Either way, I doubt any Sky Channels will launch before then.. and if they do happen to launch, I wonder how accurate these supposedly leaked lists will be..since no one is posting channel names or even how many are on this so called list.
Infact I think MB did post a list of Sky channels that were on a list to launch.. wonder if that is the same list that everyone apparently has

[vincerooney]

Morning all another dreaded Monday ahead. Hopefully something exciting will happen this week to keep me entertained in work.

Aye I don't see the sky channels coming either. 1) sky are *******s 2) MB only sees it as rumours so unless he's not hearing or seeing the same concrete info as others surely it doesn't add up

But I'll always keep the faith for the future

I'd quite like media boy to announce some American news channels and German channels to launch this week... Completely out of the blue would be most welcome!
