According to the UKTV Listings Watch+1 will be on the Sky EPG as 155, which is currently HollywoodTV (which stops broadcasting at 6am on Wednesday 1 October).

No mention of where GOLD+1 will be, or any mention about the Virgin EPG place.

Some channels have obviously spotted a market in buying up EPG places on Sky. We already had +1, +1.5 and +2 channels for DMAX and now Pulse (as of yesterday). I can't imagine Pulse has the need for 3 repeat channels.

No not really just my guess.

Well the launch date of the G.O.L.D site has been changed to the 3rd now, and has quite obviously been photoshopped ontop of the original image seeing the shading is completley different... sigh...

And what's more, if you rollover the image, the appearing text still says the 27th! The site might be called laughdaily.co.uk, but dodgy pasting and leaving bits not updated properly isn't quite my idea of funny.

Yes, UKTV bought the Hollywood TV EPG slot.

According to the Radio Times, GOLD +1 will be on Sky EPG 133.

No news on what Sky EPG number Alibi +1 will be on yet....either UKTV has bought another EPG slot or it will go at the end of the Entertainment section, i.e. currently EPG 209.

Why when I go onto Radio Times I can't seem to find Watch listings.

I have noticed too on my Sky EPG at the moment Tuesdays listing for GOLD seem and GOLD +1 seem to be still on 109 and 110.

Does Sky not reorganise these channels in their future listings?

The site says Gee Oh El Dee is in Sky 110. What goes at 109 then? Confused

Watch is going to be UKTV's flagship channel so it's replacing UKTV Gold on 109 with GOLD launching on 110.

Anyone notice that the announcer on the G.O.L.D adverts is actually saying G-O-L-D? That will be very annoying if they're referring to the channel like thta consistently. What is wrong with Gold is beyond me.
