I would like to know what is going to be happening to all the old coronation streets' now that plus has gone, I have looked at the tv listings and I have noticed there is no coronation street
Did Plus even have any sort of warning saying it was going?
Nope, it was an 11th Hour deal, so ths staff turning up for work yesterday morning probably didn't know a thing that by the end of the day the channel would be dead as the dodo.
Apparently the signal just cut off at 4.30pm in the middle of the ad break for Pie In The Sky.
I don't think anyone yesterday morning would have expected that it would be gone.

Even though (Granada) Plus wasn't a "major" station (certainly not compared to "the main five channels", or even something like, say, Sky One etc), but even so, one would expect a
television station
, of all things, (no matter how minor) to close "properly", including advance warning etc.
Did they let the running programme end, or just pull the plug? What has happened to the advertisers, do they get a credit, or compensating air-time on ITV-3?
