Paramount Channel to launch in the UK

It's not been added to Virgin Media's EPG.

Either the agreement between Viacom and Virgin Media has fallen apart, or it will be a delayed launch. How embarassing for both parties.

I wonder if any of the Paramount Network US dramas like Yellowstone, Waco or American Network will eventually appear on the UK Paramount Network.

This is just a dilution of content over several channels. This channel was not needed whatsoever and will take viewers from their own channels. Agent Carter/Suits would be the right channel for 5Star. How will they decide if 5Star or Paramount get a certain US show? Viacom hardly need 6 FTA channels in the UK.

It's believed they will at some point down the line. Ie like pick....

Just flipped over and they're showing the Spiderwick Chronicles film. I'm not sure whether this is some tatty old print they've found from somewhere or whether they're just skimping on the bitrate. The airing of this film on Sky Cinema is better, though in fairness they did make a big deal of upping the entire resolution on the catalogue with the relaunch last year so it may just be that.

Was watching Transformers last night and the bitrate was awful, during the fast paced action scenes the picture kept on pixelating, badly!

Is this channel broadcating a royal doc on Sunday night?

Looks like it's the Neighbours omnibus, ancient Gilmore Girls, trashy Harry and Meghan stuff and then Suits.

I heard that Paramount is not on Freesat or TVPlayer either since it's launch.

Suits is broadcast on RTÉ2 HD in Ireland. I watched a few episodes of it via Saorview. Paramount showing it in SD is kinda meh.

I assumed that Paramount was replacing 5Spike on freesat - I guess not

Why would you assume that? The launch of Paramount Network as a new channel in the UK has nothing to do with 5Spike which continues as normal.

Because Paramount is the new name for Spike in america.
