Virgin 1 is a British television channel. Run by Virgin Media Television, it launched on 1 October 2007.

In June 2007, it was announced that the channel had acquired the rights to show reruns of the Star Trek franchise from Star Trek: The Next Generation to Star Trek: Enterprise. [1] [2] Star Trek: Deep Space Nine had been specifically referred to in pre-launch publicity, [3] and was the first Star Trek series to start on the channel, the day after the channel launch. Part one of "Emissary" was watched by two hundred and twenty six thousand people, around 1.2% of the total television audience at the time. The deal has also lead to reruns of The Next Generation being shown on its sister channel Bravo.

Virgin Media has also secured the rights to offer Star Trek episodes to UK customers via its video on-demand service. All Star Trek episodes broadcast on Virgin 1 will be available for customers to view again on-demand for seven days after broadcast. Subscribers to Virgin Media's more expensive cable packages will reportedly have free any-time access to the entire library of episodes from The Next Generation to Enterprise through the on-demand electronic program guide.
