Scuzz closes 15th November

Here are the last moments thanks to Seb Jec on YouTube 😢

The EPG was showing "Scuzz is Dead" from midnight last night until 6:00am tomorrow morning (after which it said "programmes no longer available")

I was expecting it to stop broadcasting at midnight last night, and then noticed it was still broadcasting this morning (with a "Scuzz is Dead" DOG), so was expecting it to continue until 6:00am tomorrow, so seems a bit odd for it to have stopped broadcasting at 9:01am.

Its EPG slot has now been taken by Christmas Hits (Chart Show Hits)

It seemed strange to pull the plug midway during a song. I'd have thought end with a song then go off air.

Am I missing something or is there a reason he included 15 minutes of black and tone on that?

I thought the same thing...

That’s just what metal has evolved to these days, it’s very minimalist now.

Now that Scuzz has closed, this means that CSC's remaining music channels (Chart Show TV, Chart Show Hits, The Vault and Starz) are purely pop/chart music-focused channels, following the previous closures of channels including NME, Bliss, Flava and the rebranding of Chart Show Dance to Chart Show Hits).

Chart/mainstream pop channels obviously get higher ratings than niche channels like Scuzz, and there's a similar situation with the Box Plus channels, where Kerrang (a similar channel to Scuzz) is the only real niche channel.

And that's pretty much an endless stream of pop-punk

Probably the uplink provider (ie Arqiva/Globecast) pulling the plug at a set time rather than Scuzz themselves.
