Re: Virgin TV (2024)
Virgin has given Sky Sports Tennis provisional channels numbers ahead of launch:
Sky Sports Tennis - Provisionally added to channel 537.*
Sky Sports Tennis HD - Provisionally added to channel 520.*
*Channels are NOT on any boxes.
https://ukcabletvchanges.blogspot.com/
With Sky Sports Tennis launch how will Virgin Media fit all Sky Sports Channels together?
Here is my own views: https://mediaboyukblog.blogspot.com/...where-sky.html

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
Channel 4 will close "smaller linear channels" including the Box music channels later this year and others at the right time.

The website shut down in October so not surprising

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
The Box always seemed like a popular channel.
I still think it's weird that none of those music channels have ever gone HD.

They could add music FAST channels to Channel 4 app though & other platforms
They launched their first FAST channel in the UK in December

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
So Sky Sports Tennis is just a rebrand then and not a new channel. As I thought it would be.

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
Sky already has sky sports NFL and sky sports arena on the channel numbers they give on their own website. 407 and 408.
