Two new FAST channels added to Virgin Media

June 24, 2025 14.37 Europe/London By Julian Clover

Cinema fans can enjoy two new FAST channels dedicated to movie content.

British Screen Classics and wedotv movies are available at no extra cost. They can be found through Virgin Media’s TV guide, as well as searchable via voice control

British Screen Classics brings together a multitude of film and TV gems originating from the iconic classic film libraries of ITV Studios and StudioCanal. The channel will take viewers on a journey through Britain’s great cinematic heritage by delving deep into the history of legendary British film studios and production houses to provide a 24/7 stream of adored titles such as This Sporting Life, Doctor in the House, Heaven’s Above! and Clockwise (pictured). From comedy to horror, war, adventure, drama, and romance; every theme and genre is covered. 

David Bouchier, Chief TV and Entertainment Officer at Virgin Media O2, commented: “Virgin TV is home to the best in entertainment and more choice for our subscribers.  We offer enhanced value with fantastic on demand and channel content at no extra cost, including two brand-new streaming movie channels. On top of the existing streaming channels available to Virgin TV customers, they now have even more choice and 24/7 access to exciting movies for free.” 

wedotv movies is a contemporary film channel with a catalogue of over 500 movies across all genres. The channel has genre themed stunts each day such as Romance Mondays and Sci-fi Wednesdays, as well as special seasonal events tied to key calendar moments including Halloween and Christmas. 

The new channels join the existing 33 FAST channels available on Virgin TV which include Inside Crime, Homes Under The Hammer, Red Bull TV, Hell’s Kitchen, amongst others.
