Talk about super vague, you could list any channel you like under those conditions.

I only post that way to stop other posters from asking - Is channel a coming? Is Channel b coming? so on and so on.

I have no problem listing channels that might be part of the new carriage deal but Cartoonito is a SD only channel on Sky currently there is no HD version.

*Cartoonito is in HD on both Sky Glass and Sky Stream.

I feel WBD may axe Boomerang in the UK next year.

...and some 2 weeks later it has finally moved to the correct EPG genre. Although Virgin doesn't allow selection of the "Entertainment" genre as the channels are at the top of the EPG anyway.

I presume all those TBC channels are actually FAST channels. It might be useful to identify new channels as such as they are quite different and you cannot even record them.

Also, were you not suggesting that Discovery+ would launch soon? That would finally complete the list of 'main' streamers we should have on Virgin if they are to be viewed credibly as a content aggregator. Hopefully, they will then move on to the smaller ones, such as Acorn TV and Shudder.

Sky has still to reveal what will come after Sky Cinema Wizarding World HD.

Still to get the launch date for Discovery+ as deal was only done this week.

4 FAST channels are set to launch by November 17th.

It's HD as per sky stream EPG, why do you keep acting like you know better than anyone else?
