Virgin Media customers are being treated to a freebie this month – access to 14 premium Asian Mela channels without paying a penny extra.
These channels normally come as part of a paywalled bundle, which sets subscribers back £12 each month. But now you'll have access to more of the latest dramas, comedy, and reality TV shows and movies.
The offer comes in celebration of South Asian Heritage Month.
A spokesperson at Virgin Media O2 said: "South Asian Heritage Month is a meaningful time for families and communities to come together, and we're proud to help our customers celebrate by offering access to 14 premium Asian TV channels at no extra cost. With a fantastic mix of much-loved dramas, entertainment shows and blockbuster films, there's something for everyone to enjoy throughout the month."
