The problem with Virgin is that they had about 6 months to launch it from conception. I don’t know any other channel like this that’s launched in a hurry.

So that explains the mostly American and English repeats line up. I read somewhere that they hope to get 60% homegrown programming in the next 6 months, along with a transition to widescreen in the new year

I’m not too excited about current Virgin 1 but the channel has an impressive budget and hopefully will have an impressive future

I love the branding and idents of the channel. They’re along the same lines as terrestrial TV or better established entertainment channels (E4, or Sky One ten years ago)

Ah John, whatever happened to Virgin Brand? It would have been red hot with all that’s been happening in the Branson world of late!

Hmmm…Criminal Minds is the epitome of ‘generic’ cop show.

And I know red is very associated with Virgin…but BBC One really owns that colour as far as tv goes…

:-/ Their programme line-up isn’t very appealing to me, although I could watch Seinfeld on a constant loop

And for anyone interested, The Riches will be screening on Foxtel’s new quality drama/film channel Showcase in December.

It feels like another channel full of US and UK junk in my opion. Havn’t watched it but can’t Virgin media get out more?

That show The Riches looks interesting. Help Me Help You is also hilarious, however it was cancelled, too smart for Americans like Arrested Development. Makes you wonder how Boston Legal survives. It is great. But it is going down in the ratings.

I likes the music in the promo.

yknow what – i freakin LOVE how they have a voice-over dude voicing as-live for these things.. it just makes the tv seem SO much more friendly… no offence to lisa hensley and robbie mcgregor here in oz, but it just makes a huge difference. Also – if ya havent seen THE RICHES yet, i highly, highly recommend. apart from that vrgin1 does kinda seem like the left-overs of american tv:)
