Archive:List of channels on NTL after 2006 reshuffle (United Kingdom)

From ViewersVault

The content in this channel listing is incomplete. Please help keep ViewersVault up-to-date by contributing the latest line-up information.

This is a list of channels available on NTL (stylised as ntl:), a British cable television platform that merged with Telewest in 2006 to make NTL:Telewest and again in 2007 with Virgin Mobile to make Virgin Media which launched in February that year.

This archive dates to September 6, 2006, when NTL reshuffled their channel order similar to that of Telewest, which can be found on this article. The original order can be found on this page.
