Arsenal football club's upcoming television channel will not be available on Virgin at launch due to capacity constraints, it has been confirmed.

The channel will only be available on digital satellite, Sky channel 423, when it launches on January 14 at 5pm.

On its website, Arsenal explained: "Due to issues with Virgin Media's channel capacity Arsenal TV will not be available on Virgin Media at launch... Arsenal would like to apologise on behalf of Virgin for this delay and re-assure all supporters that we are working with Virgin and Setanta to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Arsenal TV will be available to Virgin customers in the future and the date will be publicised widely as soon as it is confirmed."

Arsenal TV's launch was confirmed last September, and will be operated by Setanta Sports.
