I really have not seen any news since yesterday.

I don't think our insiders are giving much away these days. I think they've had a pep talking to by management!

My insiders did confirm TCM +1 and Drama was set to launch about 3 to 4 days before launch early this month.

BAF thinks more channels is set to launch in mid September - that over two weeks (14 days) away so I hope to get news confirming them coming in about 10 days from now.

Its funny MB cause as soon as you posted this, he then posted on DS to say that the deal was done in January. I had a feeling it was rubbish from the start, he posts so much rubbish on there!

Found info on the 'NGTV News' thread that confirm it has become an local headend.

Virgin Media main headend is Langley and a backup in Knowsley.

If rumours are true and 12 channels launch in September I wonder what they'd be? I count 10 rumoured channels so far. I do love the chase of new channels... Gets the heart beating
