VIRGIN MEDIA CHANNEL LAUNCHES
A new channel will launch on Virgin Media in March.
DAZN Women’s Football includes coverage of the UEFA Women’s Champions League.
It will also show women’s Liga F matches as well as the Saudi Women’s Premier League.
Virgin Media says it is the first UK pay-TV platform to offer the DAZN Women’s Football channel through its set-top boxes, although everyone can access it for free via a popular alternative service.
Virgin Media customers will receive one new channel
Here are the channel numbers you need to know, as well as their launch dates:
March 1
- DAZN Women’s Football – 554
VIRGIN MEDIA CHANNEL CLOSURES
Sadly, one channel is disappearing from Virgin Media boxes this month.
Young children’s channel Tiny POP is going digital-only, so it won’t appear on a traditional linear TV platform – this not only means the channel will disappear from Virgin Media, but also from Sky, Freeview and Freesat.
Luckily, fans can still stream it online via the following alternatives:
- LG channels
- Net avg
- Samsung TV Plus
- YouTube
- POP player
Channels disappear on Virgin Media
Mark your calendars for the one channel closure that will take place on Virgin Media in March.
