Viceland programming is starting to pop up on NOW TV. Huang's World is the first programme on there.

Channel 153 on the Sky EPG is currently Pick +1 which I imagine will shuffle down the guide to somewhere else. Ultimately it is probably not replacing anything.

Pick+1 has gone to 163, which is TG4 on the NI EPG.

EDIT: My bad for not noticing that this had been mentioned Confused

That is low. It's not been marketed well (maybe I'm wrong), and it doesn't help that it's positioned quite low on the EPG.

Today I saw the only advertising I've seen for it on, funnily enough, a phone box. Not exactly something I see many 16-34s using regularly…

If these reports are accurate it may be a good thing that nobody saw that the launch night was a technical shambles - apology caption during launch night doesn't bode well!

Love the slide!

I like how simplistic that is. I have never seen a breakdown slide barely show the channel's logo.

That's basically the whole presentation style of the channel in the US. For the record the channel took over/replaced H2 (History Channel 2) in the US and on my cable system lost its nice HD channel slot next to History Channel and many of the Discovery Channels to become the very last channel on the line up at 948 (previously it was 876). I completely understand why Comcast would want to move the channel because right after its old channel slot were the HD kids channel neighborhood. I can easily see a parent watch in horror as the channel accidentally changes to shows such as "Weediquette", "Vice Essentials" and "State of Undress".
