The Hits Goes Off Air

There Is A Fault.

Normal Service Will Be Resumed As Soon As Possible

Whats happened? anyone know?

I presume there was a fault.

Nobody likes a smart alec

I have just got off the phone from The HITS TV station and they say that a technical fault was caused by a power cut

Well, its all back on now

Basically what happened was the vision of the video went off leaving a black screen with graphics and the sound of under the bridge. Then the graphics wenty and the screen flicked before that appauling excuse for a caption came up.

At least we got a caption, the EMAP channels usually don't (Well, The Box did prior to September 2000). They don't crash that often any more though, but during 2000 & 2001 after the new systems were introduced) they used to crash several times a day, meaning we had black (or coloured) screens and silence- nothing else. In some ways it was funny to watch but one evening I'd heard A1's "same old brand new you" so many times (it was the first song that played when the system was back on-line) I wanted to scream!

There was a minor power cut in North London earlier this evening, which affecting my cable and broadband service - I assume the two are connected.

it is till on sky television networs on channel 458

but paying £40 per month is not worth it to get one channel.

Stick with freeview!

Anyone else catch the Kerrang and Kiss-branded programmes on Friday night / Saturday Morning respectively? Is the Hits branching out to become more than just a music request channel?

If so can we have a Q programme? TheHits already caters for the Kiss Massiv- it plays loads of RnB cr@p.

Will The Hits therefore become Emap's barker channel? If so then Freeview's full of em - SSN, TMF, FTN, UKBI.
