With Sky, they give you every channel going, and yes l am with Sky, With VM you cannot guarantee channels, you can +1, but they are a waste of time.
That's what I thought too from previous experience however the Box Nation website does include the Virgin Media icon on their webpage:



An article in The Sun newspaper suggests the channel will be on Virgin:

And footage from the press conference for the launch of the channel confirms a distribution deal will be announced for other providers, including Virgin. Watch between 1:50 and 2:15:

Whilst we do often hear a lot of rumours about channels coming soon, it's not often a new channel makes it so blatant that they either have a carriage deal with Virgin or one is clearly in the pipeline.
