According to the channel guide. LBC Radio is in the middle of the smut channels.
That's not highbrow now is it?

As per the Media Boy blog, four unnamed channels are currently testing ready for launch.
My opinion is that these will be Viacom channels, including Spike TV and the return of 5* +1. |

MB is now reporting that one of the channels has been identified as National Geographic HD. The others remain testing off the EPG with code names.

its programming being moved to sky sports 1. Since we get sky sports 1....... well you know the rest
One (minor) change to narrow the gap between Sky channels on satellite and cable. I think that there's now only Sky Atlantic, Pick +1, Sky 3D (now a part time channel expected to eventually close) and Sky One +1 missing. Have I missed any? |

Yup, the channel itself has closed, with content being moved to channels that are on VM.

Sky Box Office HD (for live PPV). If we have to pay £20 to watch Mayweather Pacquiao it'll be ridiculous if it's only in SD.
If so, it is unfair that people pay the same for SD only. I have heard a rumour that Boxnation HD may be launching on VM. |

Sorry for the confusion, I omitted the word 'Wild' in error. It is expected that this channel will launch on EPG number 229. Is this channel currently on Sky?

It's Al Jazeera English HD that's coming. I now believe that it "will start in May" and may not necessarily be on the 1st of the month.
