Another music channel will close this year: https://www.loudersound.com/amp/news/scuzz-tv-is-closing

After this, MTV Rocks and Kerrang! will be the only music channels dedicated to rock.

The EPG programme title entry from Thursday 15/11 is creepy and the rest of the entry isn't particularly enthralling either:

Entry is entitled SCUZZ IS DEAD (their capitalisation not mine) - "Sadly Scuzz TV is closing, it has been an amazing 15 years of broadcast and we can't thank you enough for allowing the channel & our little sub-culture to exist. We have been Scuzz TV. Goodbye!"

The description says on Sky "No programme information available".

Another of CSC's music channels bites the dust.

Flava closed this time last year (on 1st November 2017), and they removed all but one of their music channels from Freesat earlier this year (leaving just the Vault).

This will leave just 4 CSC music channels: Chart Show TV, Chart Show Hits, The Vault and Starz TV.

Wouldn't surprise me if Chart Show Hits goes soon, as it's so similar to Chart Show TV.

When Bliss and Flava closed, they closed suddenly without any notice, so it makes a change that they're actually announcing this closure.

Chart Show Hits is now Christmas Hits for November and December.

It has now reverted back to that description you mentioned.

I'm aware of that, but doesn't mean it won't close at some point in the future.

Bliss used to always be the channel that rebranded at Christmas (when it became Blissmas), and that closed suddenly at the end of November 2015, right in the middle of its Blissmas branding.

Remember when Flaunt became a gay music channel for what seemed like weeks, with all the gay stereotypes you can think of?

Was Scuzz one of those 3 music channels that Sky launched and included The Amp?

The Amp was probably my favourite music chanel, though it didn't last long and the only thing I remember is that they were always playing either The Fear by Ian Brown or Frontier Psychiatrist by The Avalaunches. Both great videos but not after youve seen them so many times
Night Thoughts and London Lite gave kudos

Similar to MTV Pride, the pop-up channel MTV had in 2016 and then again this year.

Yep, Scuzz, Flaunt and The Amp.
