But didn't True Crime have a website/Facebook page. You'd think Sony would have them ready for when the channel launched.
Not specifically for SC2, but www.sonycrimechannel.co.uk

But don't all Discovery Channel original shows air on Discovery Channel in the UK same with Nat Geo shows?
Crime + Investigation is from a completely different company (A&E)
Just because a programme runs on a channel in the US, doesn't mean it will run on a channel with the same name in the UK.

Not necessarily.

Sony Crime Channel 2's ratings have dropped significantly since it was taken off Freeview. On the week ending January 14th 2018 it's top show 'Deadly Women' had 75k and number 10 '48 Hours' had 32k. Now since its was renamed and taken off Freeview the top show for week ending February 18th 'Prison Wives' only got 23k viewers and the number 10 show 'North Mission Road' only got 9k. How long will Sony keep this going for? This kind of a channel needs to be free. These figures are from the BARB website.

Hardly surprising. It's only available on Sky and those with other satellite TV receivers that bother to add it manually. As it's full of worthless junk, that's not going to be many!
The channel is most likely to close down as part of the Sky EPG reshuffle in May.

The new Sony Crime Channel achieved a 0.18% share (and 0.03% for the +1) in it's first week.
That outweighs what they have lost by closing down Sony Channel and cutting True Crime from Freeview and Freesat.
It's still pretty low compared to several other channels on Freeview and Freesat and lower than Sony Movie Channel but should build in time.

Why would it shut down completely during the Sky EPG reshuffle? Will it not just be moved around? Could we see other smaller channels close also in May then?

Quite decent ratings for the channel's debut month, but I'd say that its LCN (60) on Freeview does hamper its figures to some extent.
It should grow over the next few months as you've said, and in the long term, Sony should be satisfied by stronger ratings throughout their portfolio of channels.

I'd wait and see if Sony are really going to cut the cord on Sony Crime 2.
As for other channels closing? It's been known since last November that ITV Encore is already closing this spring, but throughout March or April, I'm betting on a closure announcement from ITV - killing it off before the reshuffle gives Sky back a valuable slot (and subsequently using it for one of their free channels or Sky Two). Any announcement planned on short notice by ITV won't work this time.

But you don't think the upcoming reshuffle will cause some lesser smaller channels to shut other than maybe Sony Crime 2. Could it affect Discoverys smaller channels like DMAX/Shed/H&H in a good/bad way? Ratings are fairly bad for DMAX.
