I was watching "Bar Rescue" on Channel 5 Virgin Media catch-up today. Quite an entertaining programme, but I was particularly privileged to see it as it is broadcast on Spike, and the Spike ident is shown at the top left hand corner of the screen.

I was a bit curious as to why I could see a Spike programme when Virgin TV do not provide Spike, so thought I'd mention it on the forum.

    That's good. I like to watch Police Interceptors 24 hours a day.

    They are now both owned by Viacom. That's why :)

    They've been doing this for over a month:

    Spike is part of the Channel 5 network in the UK, I've noticed the inclusion of Spike shows on Virgin Media's version of Demand 5 isn't comprehensive though, this can be annoying.

    It's still ridiculous that we don't have the full channel to be honest, I hope they sort it soon.
