It's on now, not sure when it launched though

They launched but a year on and they are back to the dreaded blue screen of death and the phone number listed on the site (wearefire dot com) is not recognized

Last Summer Fire was purchase by Celador. They pulled DAB carriage in South Hampshire (but kept Bournemouth DAB, where they are on FM too), perhaps the Manchester TV channel isn't of interest to them?

The Fire has gone out?

Fire Hit Tv has been removed from freeview as the channel no longer holds a license to brodcast (probably due to showing a blue screen for months on end)
