Sit Up's Shopping Channels off air

An interesting minimalist apology caption is going out on Price Drop, Bid TV and Speed Auction TV, due to a power cut.

Can't capture it, but this is what it looks like

My mock's not far off!!

Earlier in the evening it read "because of a power cut".

I presume that is being originated at one of the Virgin Media's switching centres or something. Interesting Channel 680 on Sky, Screenshop 2 is showing a blank screen with a Bid TV DOG.

More or less spot on!

Couldn't work out the font, so used Century Gothic.

Fingers crossed they've gone bust, though we're due to lose one from Freeview anyway for a proper TV channel.

We don't even get a full service in Wales thank god.... half BidTV, half QVC.

Unfortunately it's only cos we have to squeeze in the equally useless but apparently needed S4C2.

Which part of "due to a power cut" requires explanation in more detail?

The bit where they couldn't afford to pay the bill!!!!

They are owned by Virgin Media though, so pretty unlikely tbh
