Motors TV is to become available to all Virgin Media customers in the XL television pack, it was confirmed today.

The channel is one of a number of services carried in some areas, but not others, by the cable operator, which has yet to fully unify its digital channel lineup in areas formerly served by forerunners NTL and Telewest. From Tuesday, October 21, the channel will be available in all Virgin Media areas.

"We are delighted that Motors TV, present in the UK since 2002, will be available to Virgin Media’s 3.5 million TV customers," said Motors TV chief operating officer Philippe Deleplace. "This announcement underlines our continued expansion, bringing the best content to legions of motorsport fans throughout Europe."
