Virgin Media UK Give TV Customers Free Access to Kids Channels During Oct 2025
Customers of broadband ISP Virgin Media (O2), specifically those who also take their pay TV service and have children, may like to know that the provider will be offering free access to their premium children’s TV channels throughout the whole of October 2025 “at no extra cost“.
The offer, which includes the ability to watch these channels either at home or on the go via the Virgin TV Go app, arrives just in time for the October half-term and covers several channels including Sky Kids, Cartoon Network, Nick Jr. and Baby TV (inc. on-demand content); this usually costs an extra £5 per month.
David Bouchier, Chief TV and Entertainment Officer at VMO2, said: “We know half term and school holidays can be a juggle for families, and keeping the kids entertained – without a hefty price tag – isn’t always easy. That’s why we’re offering a helping hand and giving our Kids TV channels to all customers throughout October at no extra cost. Whether it’s content on Sky Kids, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network or Baby TV, our children’s TV line up offers something for all ages.”

is this because of Elon/Netflix?
virgin have done this a few years now, if I remember they did it initially during lockdown 2020 and in 2021, think they stopped 22/23 and then did it again 24 and this year(?)
Mark or someone else would probably be able to verify that more by searching ISPR. I’m just going off memory
