Not replacing FTN, Virgin 1 is for that.

Ventil

It's replacing Thomas Cook TV iirc.

FTN is going nowhere and Virgin 1 is going where those two Virgin channels are at the moment.

will probably be the worst thing ever

michaelwoodcock

This press release says otherwise.

retired_hvporter

I read in the Times the other day it was replacing ftn. Still no great gain nor a great loss.

retired_margie

Is Virgin 1 for freeview then?

Ventil

Yes, as a direct snub and broadside attack on Sky1's absence.

Lycan, I'm only going what I have been told from IDS who handle all the media sales for that stable of channels.

retired_margie

amazing. whens it out?

michaelwoodcock

Surely a press release would be accurate? Utter shambles.

It's only on Freeview for twelve hours per day, isn't it? 6pm to 6am.

Ventil

That was released 3 months ago.
Things change on a weekly basis when it comes to the station listings and who is going where.
It's all about the cost to rent the space on the EPG.
