Hi There,
Quite a while ago when Digital Terrestiral had just been launched I was looking in a catalogue/on a box and saw the channel line up, which showed CNN

Did some channels start off on the Digital Terrestrial Channel Line-Up and get removed/replaced or did somebody (me) make a mistake?

I would love in if CNN Europe was on Freeview, it would really give a different perspective on the news.

Thanks
David

Boomerang, TCM and CNN were meant to timeshare on Freeview but they pulled out, probably when they heard about TopUpTV. TCM now broadcasts on TUTV but unlike other channels on TUTV, they actually own their timeslot so they could eventually choose to go Free-to-air if they desired.

There's a rumour going around the DigitalSpy fora that Bloomberg is coming off Top Up, and is going to timeshare on Freeview with More4. Apparently, Toonami is going to replace its slot on Top Up.
