MTV's The Music Factory has tonight begun full testing ahead of an impending launch on the Sky Digital EPG.
As previously reported, the ident '7009' on 11.895V had featured EPG information for the channel along with a standard colour bar test card.
The test has now switched to full audio and video broadcasts of the station, however, and is likely to be added to the EPG some time today.
TMF, which up until now has only been available via Freeview, will take the number of music TV channels on Sky Digital to 18.
