I haven't been able to find this on the Sky or MTV or Viacom websites, but it sounds like good news for music buffs..
The standard MTV is more reality shows than actual music these days, so the chance to see some classic videos, plus MTV unplugged, Behind the music, Storytellers etc is very appealing for me.
It looks like it might be a relay of the Australian MTV Classic, which was branded VH1 until recently changing it's name to MTV classic.
So now we have a Comedy Channel, and a reasonable sounding classic music channel coming (jury's out- but looks promising).. Who knows- maybe that sci fi channel will be next?
