Good. I read that in theguardian yesterday. IMO its probably the best thing that could happen to the channel. It will allow the executives etc to take a step back and really see where the channel is going.

Sky One already have them (I can't wait!).

Did anyone see the article on Digitalspy about V1's new Penis Envy documentary?

Sounds dire (and has already been done by Five, BBC Three, ITV2.........)

So V1 is going to be knobs, repeats of Bullseye and the Krypton Factor, old Star Trek and unheard off American imports.

Sounds brilliant Rolling Eyes

Nowt wrong with Star Trek and the odd bit of cock.

Lets hope one of these imports is the The Bionic Woman with the young Slater sister from EastEnders. It looks good.

I may be wrong, but hasn't ITV2 got the rights to The Bionic Woman?

EDIT: ITV2 are infact going to broadcast the series - http://www.c21media.net/news/detail.asp?area=1&article=36478

Virgin 1 to explore UK crime invasion

Virgin Media TV, the content arm of the UK cable company, has commissioned a new 10-part series about multicultural crime that will form part of the primetime line-up of its soon-to-launch flagship channel.

Crime Invasion: Britain's New Underworld will profile the new organised crime groups that dominate the UK's underworld, charting the rise of ethnic groups as key players.

The series, made by independent production company Vashca, will get a primetime slot on Virgin 1, which is due to launch early October.

So it looks to be early October for Virgin 1.

Fair do's. But lose the Star Trek. It really isn't attractive!

Celia Taylor, director of programming for forthcoming general entertainment channel Virgin 1, has admitted to taking inspiration from an orange juice drink.

Speaking at a controller session at the Edinburgh TV Festival today, Taylor explained how she was "trying to find a new voice" with Virgin 1, now being dubbed "V1".


But not inspired by this juice drink?...

Will the channel be in widescreen?

I ask because their preview channels (100 and so on) are not.
