New boxing channel?

Post by chad »

Was reading this earlier but can't figure out if this is actually a new channel or not?:

http://www.ringnews24.com/2016/09/27/ma ... -xE5dQrLs0

"Asif Vali has revealed great news for boxing fans after announcing his upcoming October 1st show at the Lancashire County Cricket Club in Manchester will be televised live on new free-to-air channel ‘It’s A-Bout Boxing’."

"Now, with just days away from the first bell, the show has been picked up by former promoter Marcus Anderson Hitchen’s new boxing PR channel ‘It’s A-Bout Boxing’.

“Asif’s show will be going out on our channel which can be viewed on Sky Channel 468 and Freeview Channel 90,” explained Anderson Hitchen. “So far we’ve done a show with Carl Greaves and have some lined up with MGM Promotions, but this will be our first event going out as a live recording and I’m really excited. The channel is really picking up and from mid-October we’re aiming to broadcast a pre-recorded and a live show every Friday and Saturday."

Whats confusing me is the term "boxing PR channel". Frontrunner is currently broadcasting on SKY channel 468. Can't see anything listed on the EPG for this?

And like Spike TV, it's not on Virgin? :doh:

I'll be watching the Clev fight on Sky Sports mix that night anyway, but if this channel takes off might watch a few of the shows on my freeview channel in the other room.

154 mate. It's been on a few weeks now. Should get the undercard for the Josh Taylor v Dave Ryan card on it in a couple weeks.
