OK, since there's a "if you could put five channels on Freeview" topic, I thought it would be appropriate to have the opposite.

Which 5 channels would you like to see ditched from Freeview, and why?

Starting off with me, I would like to see the following channels disappear into the digital abyss: -

QVC
Bid Up TV
Price Drop TV
UK Bright Ideas
FTN
AD
Adamskii
Ideal World
QVC
Men & Motors
TMF
The Hits.

Bright Ideas
Pricedrop.tv
Men & Motors
A random shopping channel

TMF

I think Freeview should be full of quality TV, not shopping channels. The Hits plays enough pop videos for Freeview on it's own, you don't need TMF. There is more trash on Freeview, but it doesn't annoy me as much as these channels.

Nice idea, BBC TV centre. Here's my list with (as you asked) the reasons:

CBBC: Pointless programmes and when you've woken up from bed, they have closed down!

One of the UKTV Channels: The good ones aren't there

ITV1: Obvious Reasons

ITV2: Obvious Reasons

ITV3: Obvious Reasons
CS
Cerulean Sunrise
Ideal World

Damn I forgot to say why.

Ftn - because it shows nothing of any interest.
Bright Ideas - as above.
Pricedrop.tv - sells nothing of any great interest.
Men & Motors - as above.
Random shopping channel - sells nothing of any great interest.
