Throughout February, Virgin Media TV subscribers will have free access to 20 additional channels, spanning entertainment, documentary, and music, including from Sky and Comedy Central.
Between 1 February and 1 March, households with Virgin Media TV plans can tune into live broadcasts of the following 20 channels for no additional cost:
The offerings include comedy, classic movies, history and crime documentaries, and Asian programming from the popular Asian Mela pack. Highlights from the channels include Impractical Jokers, on Comedy Central Extra; Killer Britain with Dermot Murnaghan on Crime & Investigation; and Great Escapes with Morgan Freeman on Sky History.
Virgin will also unlock all on-demand content from the broadcasters, allowing you to catch up on boxsets from Comedy Central, MTV, and Sky History.
Virgin says the promotion builds on their previous “response to the pandemic,” which included a month of 22 free channels between February and March 2021.
David Bouchier, Chief TV & Entertainment Officer at Virgin Media O2, said: “To welcome in the New Year, we are giving all of our TV customers access to some of our top documentary, entertainment and music channels at no extra cost throughout February. This is great news for our TV customers with some fantastic shows available this month such as Great Escapes with Morgan Freeman and a host of other programming available on demand.”
But Virgin Media customers should also brace for a price hike to come into force just as the new channels disappear. From 1 March, Virgin Media broadband and TV customers will see their bills rise by a typical £4.70 per month. Virgin attributed the price increases to rising costs and heavier use of its services by customers.
