ABC1 Close wed

ABC1 is to be closed on Virgin Media from Wednesday at midday and not the 1st of October.

Info from SKY EPG

Going to Monday on SKY EPG on FTN it does not say Programmers no longer available,But Programmers start at 9.00pm

Thank you.

What's wrong with the Virgin 1 thread, and its programme not programmer.

am gonna miss abc1 - whatever people say about it going stale and what not - I never got tired of Hope & Faith, 8 Simple Rules, Home Improvement and Less than Perfect. Was great for something to watch if you couldn't get to sleep or after coming in from the pub.

Bye bye abc1!

most of that could be dumped on Disney channel; or Virgin1 or even Parlremout?

yes, i can just see an episode of ellen squeezed in between northern ireland deputy first minister's questions and the record europe

Well, that would boost the audience for the channel considerably lol

abc1 seems to have ceased broadcasting early on Virgin Media if they do something special for it closing can someone cap it and upload it?

I've set Sky+ for the last programme, so hopefully I can put a cap on here shortly after midday! Although I suspect they won't do anything special.

Enough of your slacking - do it now.

Anyone else realise ABC1 is closing a day before it's 3rd birthday?

If it does close today, then it's a real shame. (I was going to do some screenshots tomorrow for TV Live, so that's all blown out the window)

It's just Virgin Media today, otherwise it's 6pm on Sunday for Freeview and 6am Monday for Sky viewers.

It's like the Granada Breeze situation again, that it doesn't go off all three platforms at once, probably a carriage issue I would have thought be the main issue.
