Any news if VM are doing a deal with A & E to broadcast Military History in the near future as they are in talks with them for HD channels. I know its a separate contract but as there in the same room talking logic would be to discuss the matter.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Some european channels do not broadcasted in widescreen and Eurosport is using an local TV network to broadcast the game.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Hmm! Not sure how I feel about that. It depends on who might take them over. I think 'better the devil you know' as I would hate to see drastic changes to the programming on most of these channels. Any thoughts?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Who on earth comes up with the names for these old UKTV channels?? I'm imagining some executive sitting in a meeting telling the advertisers that he wants something "cutting edge", "pro-active" something "out of left field".
Then after all this blue sky thinking they come up with...Watch, Really and Yesterday.:)
I wonder how much all this "out of the box" thinking cost them?
