Take it this means Red will be getting shelved alongside Monkey under 'channel mascots'.

He was annoying anyway. Apart from his little star trek outfit, which was cute.

You never know, he might turn up again in a few year's time advertising tea. Wink

Are we sure Sky, and not Richard Desmond has bought Virgin 1? Wink

Don't see why they'd have to, they're hardly Virgin brands.

A bit of a silly name, as to some Channel One is BBC One Laughing

Looks to me like a move to get the Virgin brand off the channel quickly, keep it running much the same in the short term and then perhaps use the channel/Freeview slot for something more worthwhile when they've reviewed the "Living TV Group" operation? Let's face it, Virgin 1 only exists because of that big hoo-ha with Sky a few years back and they decided they wanted to take Sky on with an equiavlent of Sky 1, wasn't Setanta Sports News part of that too?

Its weird how the two existing Virgin-branded television channels will be replaced within just a few days.

The owners of the French Virgin channel, Virgin 17, have announced that it will be renamed on September 1. An now it has been announced that the British Virgin channel will be renamed on September 3, just two days later.

Coincidence?

I'd say you're overthinking it.

But the clue is in your name. Wink

If they'd thought about it, they could have gone with a fairly airborne theme....

V1 for Virgin 1
Rotate for +1
and V2 for adult programming....
