I think Virgin will keep all the missing BBC TV & Radio Channels and give them to everyone.

After all we pay £135.50 per year for them to broadcast*.

* = Before Virgin Media's bills come in.

That was my understanding.

Any answer about fact/fiction/guesswork/the gnome at the bottom of my garden says reports.

Virgin Radio Groove has been removed from the Sky EPG.

But is still broadcasing on Virgin Channel 953 with Sound.

NOTE: Virgin Radio is own by SMG not Virgin Media.

As you get BBC Wales on channel 101 it will stay.

But the following channel may not:

On Ex-ntl:
861. BBC One England
862. BBC One Scotland
863. BBC One Northern Ireland
864. BBC One Wales
865. BBC Two England
930. Radio: BBC Radio Scotland
931. Radio: BBC Radio Wales
932. Radio: BBC Radio Ulster
934. Radio: BBC Radio nan Gaidheal
936. Radio: BBC Radio Cymru

On ex-Telewest:
911. Radio: BBC Radio 4 LW

Oh please let BBC 2 England stay !

"On BBC 2 now, Torchwood, on BBC2W, Iolo WIlliams looks at the Slate Industry in Wales"

AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!

[the-cable-guy]

btw the Audio Description channels are different regions or at least they are in Sheffield.

[Itshim]

Would like to keep BBC 1 & 2 England* but other than them I would be happy lose them

* as I can not get BBC 2 wales only 2W what a waste of money that is!! the odd show on it is very odd!!!

[mumbosteve]

I work for BBC Information and there is no date as of yet. However, our logging system has been configured recently to take comments/complaints/enquiries on the TViPlayer (the name as it appears in our system) so it must be coming soon
