I see that the EPG total has gone down by one following the removal of Style that recently closed.
I assume that a 'closed down' slate was transmitted for a week or so. We're going in the wrong direction

Style closing was hardly on the level of losing the basic Sky channels a few years ago.
In fact, one less stream of dog wee to avoid! |

Style, an E! channel remix also had no point in being there. The American channel it was based on "closed" long ago, as they repositioned the resource into a more FHM than Heat based format (and that is not coming to the UK). It was not VM that pulled the channel, but the channel's makers.

The problem I have with a lot of the "extra channels" is they are on what seems to be high compression/low quality carriage. Take CBS Action and ask yourself which bright spark thought having a channel dedicated to "action" should be broadcast where "high rate screen changes" cause blocky pixellation to occur (and thus "ruin" the "action")

Virgin Media have decided to keep Premier Sports in the M+, L and XL packs until 28/2/14.
The 'experiment' was due to end very soon, but I have been told that analysts want more time to decide the long term future of the channel on VM. |

Asian Channel Views: More CSC Media Group channels set to launch on Virgin Media?
Virgin Media last signed a deal with CSC Media back in February 2011 when POP was axed to make way for True Entertainment. So based on that I think we may see the following channels launch in the coming months on Virgin Media: •Bliss •BuzMuzik •Chart Show TV •Chart Show Dance •Flava •Scuzz •The Vault •Kix •Pop •Pop Girl •True Drama •True Movies 2 |

Why would a deal signed in February 2011 mean channels appearing this year? Surely the channels would have appeared in 2011 soon after the deal was inked?

As Asian Channel is bringing information from other forums here I can't see what the problem is. I rarely see sources credited on other fora.

Based on other broadcasters, most carriage agreements last around 2/3 years and that would suggest a new carriage deal is to be struck soon. |
