What a wonderful way to mark the end of 3 years of broadcasting - a short ident followed by a black screen.
So glad they went to so much trouble!

Lol - I know - but you'd have thought there had been an announcement or at least a caption. I'm sure there are hundreds of housewives checking that their aerials are plugged in correctly right now...

It has also just been removed from Freeview channel 15 (at Crystal Palace, anyway).

If the channel's closure was previously advertised as next Wednesday then it seems remarkable that all platforms have reacted so quickly to an earlier date.
I recall that ITV News was left with "programmes no longer available" on the Sky EPG for days after their closure. When a channel is replaced (such as Ftn with Virgin 1 on Monday the EPG will undoubtedly change on Sky during the normal 10:00-11:00 update).
Perhaps the EPG Managers are just becoming more efficient.
