MTV Dance is basically CS Dance but thats nothing new.
Christmas themed channels should be Christmas, yet if you look at Movies24 and Movies24+ they are Christmas themed - so how can a movie channel stick to a theme but a music channel falls at the first hurdle 😕 if they are not interested in the theme then don't do it”
Who is Danny Howard?
They'll argue they are open to interpretation

I think it is a lesson, although how big i'm unsure as Vintage TV is like no other channel so cannot be compared like for like.

I'd only miss the Cascada In The Mix, but it's not on often and even then, I can catch all tunes on You Tube etc. They have Rihanna in the mix again later. 3 times in 2 days at least.

I don't think its necesserily the end of music channels in general. 've recently spun my dish round to Astra 1 and a great channel on there is Deluxe Music. Apparently its very popular in Germany, with a HD version available on subscription. It has a nice jukebox feel to it with a mix of oldies and current songs. Recently, in the evenings they show a concert.”
Bliss went downhill and recently starting showing endless Take That and Buble again.
Deluxe Music would be ideal in the UK. Sadly, as with anything in the last 50 years, the UK are trailing Germany in their wake.
