History

Virgin Media Ireland confirmed it would launch a new channel in spring 2022 exclusive to Virgin Media customers in Ireland.

On April 11, the day before the channel's launch, Virgin Media Sport ceased operations and the channel's sport content moved to Virgin Media More.

However, earlier in the day, the channel broadcast a pre-launch filler This is Virgin Media More to promote the new channel. The TV guides had slots unfilled for the channel listed as To be announced until programming was confirmed prior to the launch. [6]

The channel was voiced by Dave Cronin until September 2024, who was the sole continuity announcer.

On 28 November 2025, the channel was quietly closed down and was replaced by a barker channel on Virgin Media channel 100.
