It on Virgin Ireland Channel 161 and did launch sometime in December.

Odd question- have the american talk shows ie the tonight show stopped broadcasting in the UK? I had a tivo series link on my old box and tried to reset it now i have my V6 and its not showing up.

They had both the tonight show and the late night series but they appear to now be missing

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Do you mean your series links have gone missing or the just aren't recording anything?

Try Seach or a WishList to see if the programmes have moved channel

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Aye i mean it appears i cant add the series anymore to record as it doesnt appear to be on british tv anymore

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

The Tonight Show was on E! in the UK - but they stopped showing it in October. Nobody else has picked it up.

Have you searched for Late Night With Seth Meyers on CNBC ?
Although it appears to be only broadcast at weekends in the UK.

Will VM be creating a news channel to replace this?

A few years ago, just before the Irish version of Freeview started (Saorview), TV3 (which of course Malone now owns) wanted to open a news and a childrens channel, but scrapped the idea because the carriage costs were too high.

In February 2016 the Irish Times reported that Malone said he was going to open three Irish channels in the genres of news, children and sport.

He's invested heavily in Ireland in property and land, not just television and intends to retire there.

Re: The rebranding of his existing Irish channels, apparently, VM are awaiting the results from marketing and media consultancies before making any decision.

Episode 7 "A Gay Olde Christmas" from the new season of Will & Grace is now available on Virgin Media as a special preview ahead of the new season on Channel 5 from 5th Jan.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Brilliant :rolleyes:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

To be honest, I doubt very much that VM would establish its own news channel. They are expensive to run (I believe Sky News operates at a loss) and in any case goes against his philosophy of not owning content but taking it from other providers.

Of course, people do often change their principles when it comes to their own personal interests, so maybe if he is retiring in Ireland, he will make an exception in this case!

Don't hold your breath though, Richard, I think the odds are against it!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

spot on, OB

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Well, it's what Malone said in an interview; whether it comes to fruition or not is another matter.

Is BBC Alba on channel 188 in Scotland?

It's on 161 on my box, but after tonight's rugby it said Freeview 7, VM 188, Sky 142, Freesat 109 :confused:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

It would be difficult for any broadcaster to make a rolling news service attractive in Ireland. I suppose they could take more filler items from international news rather than items such as the fire service rescuing a cat stuck in a tree in Cork. Then again, RTE could have done that too.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Someone is using out-of-date info. It used to be on 188.
