I feel CNN may reappear on Virgin when Virgin sign a new deal with WBD.
Last Discovery deal was signed in 2019 when some channels moves EPG numbers in September/October 1st 2019 (I post this info under Spolier to save the size of this post):
Last Warner Media new channel deal was signed in 2012 when than called TCM HD, TCM2 and Cartoon Network HD did launch on Virgin in January 2013.
At time of posting Virgin are missing a following Warner Bros. Discovery own channels:
*Boomerang HD
*Cartoonito HD - Channel broadcast on all non Sky Q brands.
*CNN International
*CNN International HD
*Discovery Turbo +1
*Food Network +1
*Quest Red +1
