Angry Oh dear!

MOTORS TV : NTL DEBUT DELAYED
The much anticipated debut of Motors TV, "The High Speed Television" Network on British cable operator, NTL has been delayed.

Our appoligies but this delay is not of Motors TV's doing and we hope that all motor racing fans who suscribe to NTL's "Family Pack" will begin to receive Motors, on channel 173 within the next few weeks.

Just seen this on their (MOTORS TV) website. I hope this doesn't delay the other channels planned tomorrow.

We are sorry to have to report that the channel’s launch on NTL will be delayed for between a week and a fortnight. The Horror Channel was due to be broadcasting NTL Channel 174 from Wednesday 8th September, but due to a technical issue the launch will now happen between the 15th and the 22nd of September. We will keep you posted of any further updates.

There is no confirmed launch date for Telewest, although negotiations continue apace and we should be able to bring you some good news soon.

SUBJECT TO CONFIRMATION

So it looks like it will at least another week or two untill these new channels are launched on NTL!
