Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
What is it going to show? Doesn't it just show cheap-as-chips kids programming and whatever BBC America doesn't show from BBC and ITV in the US?
Making it essentially UKTV in one channel, ran by a former UKTV head.
Do we get the HD version in this deal?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
Whatever responses you get on Twitter/Facebook/Community Forums/Customer Services about channels are deliberately ambiguous so that they leave a small chance of whatever launching without promising or mentioning anything directly so that you don't up sticks and leave. It does not mean they are actually going to launch any time soon if ever.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
It's all irrelevant anyway , as VM staff have said they are not available.

Scripps ''unlikely'' to buy UKTV.
On August 10th pay Media web site C21 posted the following free headline on their Web Site:
Quote:
Big acquisitions at Scripps unlikely, say execs
US cable group Scripps Networks Interactive has appeared to pour cold water on word that the Knoxville-based broadcaster is preparing to buy Virgin Media's 50% stake in UKTV.
