VM have just launched three new music on demand barker channels on channels 302,303 & 305.
Just what I need more rubbish.

Wouldnt you rather have ITV4 in HD?
ITV4 HD is my most wanted channel, Football Darts would be cool, and with some luck be available on the Classic Package.

It will be more likely in the Size M+ TV Package or above i.e The Essential Collection, The Premier Collection or the VIP Collection

Three more Asian channels are due to be added in the Asian Mela premium package:

Star Gold, channel 801
Rishtey, channel 827
UMP Movies, channel 830

I reckon the space at 802 is probably there so if and when Star Plus HD is added to VM the SD channel can be pushed down to 802.

Just like to add that as well as these channels being added there's also NDTV Good Times and Al Jazeera Arabic (along with AJE which has already been reported in the other thread) due to be added too.

Is "that" the "most wanted list" or "definitely coming" list?

I noticed BSkyB are still making very much of the fact Sky Atlantic is exclusive to their platform in today's newspaper adverts so make of that what you will.

But I suppose you never know.

To be fair, I'd expect them to do that right up to when it is no longer exclusive. At which point, they will more than likely add a new exclusive channel to their package and switch to promoting that channel in their adverts.

sky atlantic 2 anyone? I know they desperately wanted skyF1 as an exclusive but they knew that if they did it there would be a massive uproar.

Not only would there be a massive uproar, the already low viewing figures would be even lower.

Sky customers have it lucky at the moment, they don't have to pay for the Sky Sports pack to watch the channel.

Some (if not all) of the channels listed should launch tomorrow. Channel numbers for NDTV Good Times and CBS Drama will be 829 and 197 respectively.

If what people are saying is true, i am very disappointed. VM are launching these channels to a (small?) closed group of customers and not for the entire network, hope I'm wrong, but after all these launches don't expect many more to arrive in the first part of 2013.

If you're disappointed that they are on the XL package, remember that those of us on it pay more than the other lower packages. If I got the same channels as everyone else then why would I pay more. It's not a closed group either, anyone who pays can get the channels.

As CBS Drama is available on Freesat and Freesat from Sky it seems a bit of a cheeky to put it only in the XL pack.

To be fair, the Asian package has been lightweight for a long time. VM has to add some extra channels to that package to justify the subscription premium. There's still space to add a lot more channels if VM improve their negotiation skills and manage to actually bring them to the platform.
