Archive:List of channels on NTL (ex-Cable & Wireless)
Jump to navigation
Jump to search
This is a list of channels available on NTL (stylised as ntl:), a British cable television platform that merged with Telewest in 2006 to make NTL:Telewest and again in 2007 with Virgin Mobile to make Virgin Media which launched on 8 February that year.
This archive dates to May 2006 and is gathered from a Digital Spy page. Ex-Cable & Wireless customers have a separate lineup to NTL. This version is also known as NTL's Bromley service and is sometimes called the ex-CWC EPG. This does not include channels on the same number as the non-Cable & Wireless EPG.
The genres below are as NTL intended at launch.
