Also as of April 13th ITVBe +1 is only on Virgin Media (Channels 120/162).

Blue means Not in Scotland.
Red means Scotland only.
It’s the end of the era of new channels, MB. You should open a new thread to keep yourself busy - ‘Going soon from Virgin Media’.

Fewer channels and more streamers is what you have to look forward to now. You heard it here first! ©

During a pandemic with an impact on the global economy it's hardly a surprise that new channels aren't popping up all over the place. The best you can hope for is GB News and it remains to be seen whether or not that will appeal to a significant amount of viewers.


Sky Atlantic is still the elephant in the room. With Sky using that for their own productions, they may wish to gain more exposure. Then again, they are well aware that Virgin Media viewers desperately seeking access to the channel will possibly have a Now subscription and may not wish to lose that source of income.

The state of the economy may make it more likely that consumers decide that they can't afford to subscribe to several different streamers. It's too early to make a realistic prediction.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)

We don't need new channels, there's enough absolute dross as there is, what we need is new content, as in new dramas, etc, but as others have said the reason for no new shows is definitely down to the pandemic imo.

What about Sky Sports in UHD which was supposed to launch in 2020. I can't believe we're STILL waiting for that!

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)

Bet they don't make one showing their dreadful CS, but yes, it should be interesting.

Wonder if it will go onto Channel 100 or a mainstream channel?
