Are they really 24/7?
Or will these two channels simply air in downtime overnight? If not, it will be a huge waste of spectrum. |

What is Bonanza Bonanza? I assume it's some sort of shopping channel rather than continuous re-runs of the TV western series.

In previous years, Canis Media, who created Comux, has operated a "Bonanza" channel on satellite as a placeholder service until another channel was ready to take over the slot.
More good information from a516.

Sounds vague. And if Ch5+24 is anything to go by it'll be full of teleshopping anyway. It's a shame, I was hoping for Movies4Men.

Bonanza has appeared on satellite a few times. Expect very old films, Dragnet, The Lucy Show, Beverly Hillbillies, The Lone Ranger, Sherlock Holmes and Bonanza itself. Basically, a holding channel with old public domain content from the US.

Isn't that pretty much what Movie Mix was doing at the start? I wonder if this is a possible holding channel while they build up the network before becoming something better in a year to 18 months type once more people can get them. In the interim they can get a bit of income from the inevitable Teleshopping?

Lcn 64
It's seems to be a shared channel.
Shopping from 7am to 11am then it becomes Bonanza Bonanza. |

I wonder if it'll follow Movie Mix in having an absurdly prominent logo that makes it unwatchable.

Seems this channel ended on May 1 despite it being relatively new:
http://www.a516digital.com/2014/05/t...w-viewers.html I didn't even have a chance to check out the old episodes of Dragnet etc. Some are archived according to this article. |

It was only ever going to be a temporary channel.

Apologies, I'm obviously a little behind, obviously I knew it had stopped broadcasting but I hadn't seen it mentioned on here that LCN 64 had been removed and I hadn't done a retune so it was still on my epg on both my Freeview devices.
