Here's an idea which Current TV channels that are still around will eventully end up walking the plank??? Im only guessing of course but my money would be on the following.

Sky Three
ITV4
Paramount Comedy 2
UKTVG2
FTN
ABC1
Wine TV
Real Estate TV
The Baby Channel
VH2
Q (Will get turned in FHM TV 24/7 by the end of the year & eventully go under)
Scuzz
Chart Show TV
The Vault
Pop
Tiny Pop
TI
This Is Granada
UKTV Bright Ideas will no doubt get the axe in years to come, it was only created to fill the gap on Freeview.

I don't think ITV4, Sky 3, VH2 or Paramont 2 will disappear, the rest maybe. I thought that Q was essentially FHM TV

BTW, the word is spelt 'DEFUNCT' Wink

Its stil 'Q' during the day and the channel name is still 'Q' on the screen not long til Q is pushed and it becomes FHM 24/7 (name on screen and all) it will last about a year then before disapearing without a trace.

VH2 is my favoruite music channel, like the Amp was my 2nd fave so its doomed on that premise alone Rolling Eyes

I liked The Amp when I had Sky. The problem with music channels is that the ones that I like always end up changing into the same bland pop or RnB mush. Anything distinctive and non-mainstream doesn't seem to be viable. VH2 is what VH1 used to be, but not as good. VH1 Classics is getting worse, MTV2 is OK, The Amp has gone, Q is going.

Then there is the other problem that there are very few music channels now that just play music. I think The Chart Show channels are probably the only exception

VH2 'JUST' plays 'white boy guitar' music and notning elese which all Im interested in. Ones like Kerrang/Scuzz/MTV2 just play the harder and/or whatever the lastest 'in' bands and bloody hip-hop s**t like eminem. Rolling Eyes

VH1 Classic was classic when it began, alas no longer is just 80's stuff now. Like I say VH2 is the only channel that caters for my personal taste perfectly so that cannot surely last, its only a matter of time before we start getting Eninem and the Wu Tang clan on there aswell Evil or Very Mad

Racing UK
Sport Nation
Prem Plus (after the next round of premiership franchising!)
Discovery Wings
UKTV Docs (and +1)
alot of the shopping channels and most of the gaming channels

In a unique twist I can see CITV extending its hours and number of channels by buying POP/TinyPOP from the owners of The Chart Show/The Vault. ITV Play becoming ITV Movie Channel showing all its extensive feature-length drama's and acquired films. BBC Choice making a comeback or even CBBC extening its hours. I can even see ITV creating a more factual/current affairs channels - a mix between the old ITV News Channel and Granada Talk TV. and possiby a re-emergence of ITV Sport Channel!!!!

Of other channels, I can see Disney extending its ESPN package of channels and possibly an ABC2.
