Arise News

Arise News is back on Sky 519 as of tonight. Still showing documentaries though.

One day later and it's back off air again with caption saying - Normal service will resume as soon as possible!

This is normal service.

Ofcom should be revoking licences here and ordering Sky to keep it off the EPG.

It is a farce that this channel keeps rearing its ugly head, like some kind of vampire.

It's way past time the authorities took action.

It has to be breaching Sky's "minimum non-repeating programming" requirements at least?

Think we ascertained on the previous page it's not an Ofcom issue, though if somebody wants to fire a complaint off and see what happens, knock yourself out.

Wonder if Arise is still recording all this wonderful footage of a static caption as they are obliged to? Mind you if they can't afford to keep the channel going they probably can't afford recording equipment either...

The website's been off for a while as well, last sighting of it in the Wayback Machine was in April.

It's a bit silly really. On off, On off.

I'm not sure I'd use the word 'silly' for an organisation that owes people who worked for it significant sums of money - in some cases as high as tens of thousands of pounds...

Arise News off air again. Not even a caption this time just a blank screen.

Think they are in need of a "can't pay, we'll take it away" special version. However, I doubt the illustrious owner has paid for any broadcasting equipment & is probably all on tick

Neither. He contracts (or contracted) production companies to make his content, and hired facilities rather than buying (though I think a Tricaster owned by the Arise company may have been installed to reduce costs further...)

Arise News back on air today with news programming. Totally different set so I wonder if they have moved studios?

I hope our friend has paid upfront for studio hire.
