Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2023)
 

Good news for me as MTV is the only channel that I miss after downgrading.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2023)
 

That’s a confusing statement.

Are you saying that everyone else losing MTV (because you don’t have it now) is a good thing?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2023)
 

If MTV moves to Paramount+ it means that I will receive it again.

It won't make any difference to Sky customers as I believe that they get Paramojnt+ thrown in at no extra cost.

You were totally right in your prediction..

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2023)
 

Will Paramount+ be an extra subscription on VM, like Netflix and Prime?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2023)
 

They haven't said


Technically the channels have already moved , just the channels haven't closed , the main MTV is available on Paramount+ which includes reality premieres like Jersey Shore today
and the latest season of South Park will available on Paramount+ tomorrow

MTV clearly doesn't mean music anymore, MTV Entertainment Studios is a odd thing.

Better than the 'History' channel not actually being about that :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2023)
 

What does the Radio Times have to say on the matter? :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2023)
 

The channels haven't 'moved' - it's merely that some content on the channels is also available on Paramount+.

Comedy Central for instance, only has 7 programmes available for on Paramount+ with none of their British originals available at present, with all of them remaining exclusively on Sky/NOW and Virgin Media.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2023)
 

Are the live channels as broadcast available? If not, maybe it's a carriage contract agreement so they have to wait until 2025 before pulling them from Virgin and adding them to Paramount +??

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2023)
 

No, the channels On Demand content in case of MTV, Paramount+ UK doesn't yet have Live channels

There is 2 MTV branded Live channels on Pluto TV - MTV Classic and MTV Reality

Not sure if they can close Comedy Central UK as Sky still appear to have 25% stake in it.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2023)
 

Cheers.

I suppose they could just sell their stake. ISTR that they sold their share in Nickelodeon in order to launch Sky Kids.

Sky have now announced their price rise.:

The average increase will be 8.1% which is lower than Virgin who are putting theirs up ny 13.8%. Pure greed at a time when many people are struggling.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2023)
 

Almost as bad as Plusnet’s, EE’s & BT’s 14.4% rise, and TalkTalk’s 14.2% rise.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2023)
 

Except VM are putting it up by more than that for most. 13.8% is a porky pie.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2023)
 

You can bet on it.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2023)
 

Sky are undoubtedly the best value for T,V, apart from maybe those who want BT Sport. Even then they have to factor in an extra subscription for Now TV if they also want Sky Atlantic (and are effectively paying for the Sky channels twice).

For those who aren't bothered about being able to record, Now TV as a complete replacement is a no brainer if it has all the channels you want.

BT allows you to record Now TV though. BT offered me half price Now TV for 2 years, a free installation of a landline and said that they would buy me out of my Virgin contract.
