Wonder whether there'll be any special announcements or graphics to mark this occasion or will it just be the usual recorded continuity from weeks gone by??

If it's anything like the way Disney treated abc1's closure then don't expect anything special. I notice that the last proper programme is at 23:40 so I'm recording that on Sky. After that it's gameshows. Does it finish at midnight on Freeview?

I think we'll still have the out dated pre-recorded continuity announcements tonight!

According to the Radio times it is shutting down at 5am, but then it could have an hour of teleshopping. There is no information about there being any multiplex changes yet, it is just assumed that there will be due to abc1 closing on wednesday. If any were to take place, i would imagine that they would take place at 6pm tomorrow evening, don't forget there is a 3 hour countdown from handover from brightideas to virgin 1.

It normally shuts down at 6am on Freeview, when it makes the switch to UKTV BI. Since there are multiplex changes afoot, things may happen differently.

Are people assuming UKTV BI (soon to be UKTV History) us moving to ABC1's space on Mux A, allowing Virgin 1 to air 24 hours a day?
(UKTV History's current space will then become "Dave" later this month)
Has this been confirmed at all - I don't know either way, but I thought Virgin 1 just had the 6pm-6am slot.
It's annoying though that Freeview can't co-ordinate these changes. ABC1 going, the launch of Virgin 1 and the switching of BBC Radio stations means three retunes in the space of a week - and when you add the launch of Nuts TV and Dave to the equation, that's 5 or 6 retunes in little more than a month.

And FTN finishes the night with...yes..its...Roulette.
Oh well.
Ken Dodd on 321 earlier pretty much closed the channel for me anyway
Bye bye FTN.

Not entirely they have Incredible Edible Challenge at 4.55am and then the usual Teleshopping from 5.00am.
Won't be sad to see Ftn go, it's only main use has been for showing the old Gameshows that Challenge have had for years now. But saying that other than Seinfeld there's not much on Virgin 1 that I really want to watch.
