I'm currently with virgin for broadband and TV, only just found out that as from today 21st July 2018 they will no longer have UKTV channels, I constantly watch the channel GOLD, only fools and horses a particular favourite, there replacing it with paramount and several other channel changes, can I get out of my contract early with them because of this, because my bill sky high and I've been with them for four or five years now

No, I'm afraid that you can't. Changing their channel line up is not grounds for cancelling your contract.0

I'd have said no myself but according to some, VM have told them they can.

If your bill is sky high, the channel line up is the least of your problems, phone up and either drop to a cheaper bundle or haggle on the price of your bundle.0 -

Are you still in contract?
If you've been with them so long, you may only need to give a month's notice.
And why are you paying 'a sky high' price? Haven't you haggled?"There are not enough superlatives in the English language to describe a 'Princess Coronation' locomotive in full cry. We shall never see their like again". O S Nock0 -

me too, that said nobody has reported that they've actually done so yet. I'm very aware of how clueless the VM CS staff are or at least the foreign based ones. I say this from speaking with them on a daily basis when in work before anyone takes issue with that statement.0 -
