If Virgin Media cant sign an new deal with Classic FM TV to let the Ex-Telewest have it then Virgin will just remove it from the Ex-ntl: lineup.

If Virgin CAN do an new deal with Classic FM TV then it will be added to Ex-Telewest. Right now as far as I know Virgin are still in talks with them.

Scuzz is available on satellite (FREESAT) without any subscription

Being ex-Telewest I don't get Scuzz but luckily I also have Freesat so I can watch it, I hope it does stay on Virgin Media and that it also gets added to ex-Telewest areas.

I guess we'll find out by the end of the year.
