The forthcoming digital channel Arsenal TV, the official channel of the club, is now not going to be broadcast on Virgin Mediawhen it launches next Monday, due to capacity constrains.
The channel, operated by Virgin buddies Setanta, will temporarily only be available on Sky, channel 423.
Arsenal issued an apology on their official website: “Due to issues with Virgin Media’s channel capacity Arsenal TV will not be available on Virgin Media at launch… Arsenal would like to apologise on behalf of Virgin for this delay and re-assure all supporters that we are working with Virgin and Setanta to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Arsenal TV will be available to Virgin customers in the future and the date will be publicised widely as soon as it is confirmed.”
