When I first saw your post on Friday night I was thinking of the following until my sources told me otherwise yesterday.

-B4U Plus
-MUTV HD
-POP Max
-CNBC HD
-Nick Jr. HD
-Gemporia Craft
-Sky News Arabia
-Court TV
-That's TV Gold
-Boomerang HD
-WION

I KNOW that Virgin Media are in on going talks with one of them on your post.

When I was posting my post last night I was thinking that E4 may move or be axe by Virgin Media tonight so Sky News COP 26 Channel can launch on Virgin UK Channel 106 and also to make way for BBC THREE HD to launch in January 2022 on that Channel.

epsilon has posted the following over on DS Forum in the last few days about what may happen to Channel 106.

I probably won't be around much over the next few weeks but will update whenever possible.

The pre-launch EPG slots have changed, or at least one of them. Channel 100 is still in the configuration, with channel 106 being changed to 114. So a movement from the existing E4 slot to the existing ITV +1 slot. Confused yet? There seems to be no logic to this.
