I found it surprisingly difficult to find the date. A Media Boy blog post says 8th March and a VM reply to someone on Twitter, dated about 10 days later said words to effect of "only added recently".

----
Confirmed with post #393 on this very thread...and I responded to it confirming it being listed on my EPG on post #397.

Thanks Angus, someone said it had only been added a month ago, so I just wanted to check

TVX-HD launched yesterday on Sky - replacing the PPN service which is no longer on Sky.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)

A revamped Sky News channel could be coming to our screens at some point.

It makes sense to put the resources of Sky and NBC together, but it would be a mistake if they decided to have American news readers on Sky News. That wouldn't work for many people and that would surely lose them viewers in the UK.

And there were some who were predicting the demise of Sky News.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)

I assume they mean the international Sky News channel that's available outside the UK.

I think the question now is the relationship with Euronews NBC. Could Comcast/NBC exit Euronews to focus on Sky?

l would say it will just be on the V6 set-top box John.

Virgin Media will be the first of Liberty Global’s European operations to integrate the Amazon Prime Video app within its Ultra HD V6 set-top box

Sound reasoning there, but maybe they just wanted to draw attention to the UHD. As Netflix is on both boxes, I would have expected Prime to appear on the TiVos as well, but maybe there is a technical reason why that isn't possible.

Assuming the information on the Wikipedia page is still accurate, NBC only own a minority stake in Euronews, so it's more likely they will sell their stake.
