By james art At the start of October, as a way to help parents keep children entertained during half term, Virgin Media launched an offer giving all customers 11 extra channels completely free.
These channels include Boomerang, Nicktoons and Cartoon Network HD.
Virgin Media also unlocked each of the on-demand content channels.

For those Virgin TV customers who already pay for the above children’s channels as part of their package, there will be no change.
However, for those who have been getting the channels for free since October 1, they will be locked again from 6am on Thursday, according to The Sun.
This change will happen automatically.
